How about some NSVs!?!?

Sharing clothes with my 15yo daughter. I am now only 5 lbs heavier than her as opposed to 100 lbs heavier than her. Twice the wardrobe selections.

Thank you so much for the NSV explanation. Now I know what to name my non - scale goals! !

Being on week 7 of a couch to 5k program and realizing just 9 weeks ago (missed two weeks) it was a challenge to do 1 minute walks with 15 second running intervals. Now, ran one 10 minute and three 5 minute intervals without stopping. WOW!

And, having your surgeon put your testimonial up on his website with pictures and all!

Sister, I'm a 46 H.. I feel your pain! Can't wait for some reduction. Lol

I'm a 42L and I don't know what I'll go to. Sometimes it worries me. I've always had large breast. So I'm thinking I might go back to my 7th grade size 38DDD

Being able to ride my GT as if I was 15 years old again at 162 pounds!!

Being able to talk to strangers. This is such a big deal. I hadn't noticed the change but my son pointed it out at a football game. Then today I was able to talk, to sit and hold a conversation with a a group of strangers and never felt out of place.

This has been the best NSV for me, up until now he's never sat with me, I am now his buddy.

I did my first 5k this weekend. It took me 44 minutes but I did it!

[Ginger Snaps 1,323]

@@Wallflower7522 Woot Woot! I did my first (since college > 25 years ago) and walked the middle and did it in 46 minutes. A week ago today, I did my second and actually ran the entire thing -- 42 minutes. Are you like me, did you ever DREAM you'd be running???

Great Job!

Freg, it's true! I should be careful but I'm equally excited to see what shoes I've been wearing all these years! Lol

I can cross my legs again and wear my high heel shoes and stay in them all day, I can wear a swimsuit and walk into any room and feel confident. I am still getting use to comments and the flirts as well as walking past a mirror without holding my head down. I now feel comfortable in my clothes.

Being able to travel comfortably on a plane is ONE of my many goals for this journey! Can't wait to use the tray too, what a concept lol!

My body feels foreign to me, those are not my thin shoulders, my ankles are svelt, my fingers are delicate looking, not the swollen sausages from before. But that is all AWESOME!!!! I have to keep just feeling my shoulders, even my chest, I can see collar bones and it is all so strange, but makes me smile.

I have lost 72 pounds in my journey and still have another 34 to go for my goal.
