Non Scale Victories



Recommended Posts

I'm actually asking people to take pics of me, instead of running from the camera. My excuse is I need to update my dating profile pics. That's true, but I also like the validation that I look as good as I feel. (yes, I'm vain! :P)

@sillykitty So, that's what 25 pounds to goal looks like - Yowza!

I might lower my goal weight ... I have more than 25 lbs of fat I want to lose under those clothes! :P

Still trying to get used to wanting to have my picture taken myself. Also, being vain.

I have been trying to get back in to running lately and I realized today that my thighs don't rub together anymore when I run. Crazy, right? I've always had meaty thighs, even at my lower weight which I'm at now, so I guess that (hopefully) means I'm more fit now than I was as my younger self when I never exercised!

I'm almost 3 months out, and I've had a few NSV the past few weeks.

I took a 40-minute run and didn't want to die. I actually felt like I could have kept going.

I learned how to swim after 19 years because I finally felt confident enough to go to the pool.

My (very thin) best friend asked if I wanted to have some of her clothes because she's moving and needs to cut down on her closet. Everything I tried on fit me!

I had to buy size medium shorts! (I was wearing 3x at the beginning of this journey).

I'm very happy!

I got to put my wedding ring back on--it fit! My husband put that on my finger when I was 19 years old and we had a whole life in front of us. We will have our 25th next year in June!

I can now wear rings on my thumbs if I want, my fingers have de-puffed. So why complain? The rest of my body is lagging behind! Having fingers now like twigs is very nice, but I still have a rump wide enough to show drive-in movies. I kinda envy the girls with noassatall disease, nobody come,up and pinches them.
What I think I look like🙋

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
