Wallflower7522 328 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Here is a big NSV for me, my little garden. I'm going to eat healthy and grow some of what I eat. I don't think I would have ever had the energy or motivation to do this last year. It's small, but I tilled it all by hand so it was a lot of work. I'm not done with it yet, but I've so happy with what I've got done so far.

Marathongirl 106 Posted May 13, 2014 I just bought a size 18 dress for my daughters first communion, and a pair of size 20 shorts. I was wearing a 26, plus I haven't worn shorts in years. Man this feels so awesome!!!! 3 kata13, Ginger Snaps and momlambert reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeanaLuvsKisses 110 Posted June 6, 2014 I picked up two pairs of jeans for $4.99 each at. Ross. My son is 27 years old and had never seen me in pants. I always wore dresses and skirts because I was heavy. I love getting compliments from family and friends but nothing compares to hearing my husband tell me how beautiful I look each day! 3 DevilBlueDress, Ginger Snaps and Marathongirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shmily 424 Posted June 13, 2014 I can wear my wedding ring again and I can now cross my legs. My once too tight bra is now in the 3rd hook and the cups are kinda bulky. I am down from a tight 2XL to a large. I hung up my walking cane. I am off high BP meds, cholesterol med and diabetic meds....to name just a few 3 Ginger Snaps, kparadisek and Marathongirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marathongirl 106 Posted June 13, 2014 I have left the size 20's in the dust and am now in the teens!!! I use to wear a 26 pant and now I'm wearing an 18w comfortably and a regular 18, but tight. I can run a full 2 miles without stopping in 26 minutes (my best so far). And, in church I can kneel without my butt touching the seat. Sometimes its the little things we never think about, but when they change we are so ecstatic! Surgery was the best decision I have ever made! 2 Ginger Snaps and momlambert reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacileggs 402 Posted June 13, 2014 I can probably fit my wallet in my bra it's so loose. Time for a round of new ones. Also down from a size 22 pants into size 11 which is getting big also. Time for a size 9. Best feeling ever. Also having a lot of people notice my 84lbs loss. I tell them thank you for noticing. Feels good to have someone acknowledge my success. 2 Ginger Snaps and momlambert reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
