Champ715 207 Posted March 23, 2016 I was sleeved on 9/30/15 at my highest weight of 205. As of yesterday I've lost 50 lbs and am down to 153.8. I still have 27 pounds to go to reach my goal and I'm hoping I get there by my one year surgiversary. Even as a kid I remember being too self conscious to wear shorts. I ventured into the juniors department at Belk today and tried on these pink scallop shorts. I'm still not 100 % comfortable in them but I'm hoping I will be by summertime Sometimes the number on the scale doesn't move and sometimes it's so easy to get discouraged. Celebrating non-scale victories helps me keep everything in perspective. What are YOUR favorite NSVs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sbg224 318 Posted March 23, 2016 You look great. I wish I looked like that, the skin hangs so far down it's gross, but very grateful for my sleeve and my 90lb weight loss. My biggest nsv, i think is fitting into booths that I could not fit into last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My biggest nsv, i think is fitting into booths that I could not fit into last year. I've noticed my skin getting kind of loose on my legs and arms. I think I'm just not far enough along yet for it to be as bad as it could be. I try not to worry about it too much even though it does get to me sometimes. Your NSV is a great one! Congrats on 90 lbs gone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoscoColetrain 103 Posted March 23, 2016 I'm hoping that once the loose skin becomes an issue for me, that I'll be able to twirl around reaaaaaaaly fast and take off like a helicopter. If nothing else it's an excuse to go out in a field, act silly, and giggle at myself because my brain is about 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmuro 24 Posted March 23, 2016 You look fabulous! We both have similar starting weights (mine was 210) and I am Slightly annoyed that I have lost about 22lbs and still no change in pants size. They are loose but still not enough to go down to the next size. Must be losing in my fingers and toes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaitlynm 335 Posted March 24, 2016 You guys both look great in shorts. I've always worn shorts because my legs were thin, just not my tummy. I've been out looking for new shorts in my size and it is fun trying them on and looking in the mirror. I wish I could say the same about bathing suits but with a flat butt they don't look so good. I don't think all the squats in the world could ever give me a normal butt. Rock those shorts this summer, I'm sure you will get lots of compliments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
