Share your NSV's

[georgia girl 35]

I've seen this in some of the other monthly support group threads and thought we should have one too!

I guess I'll start:

1. I've went down 2 sizes on clothes

2. I'm finally starting to see my cheek bones

3. I don't have to struggle when standing up from a chair anymore

Oh, I had a new one yesterday. I had to buy a new bra because mine was soooo big on me!

What does NSV stand for?

My happy moments have been that the roll above my waist is decreasing.

My face does actually look thinner.

I went from size 18 to size 16, thats Walmart sizes, not designer sizes.

I wish my breast size would significantly decrease, I hate being DD, miss C.

I have gone from 208 on my surgery date to about 194. I can only bring myself to weigh once a month. I hate disappointment. My goal is 175.

Oh, come on you guys.........there must be something that has gotten better for you. We need to share our victories with each other.

Ok, here I go....

Today I cleaned out my closet. I got rid of a lot of too big clothes and was able to put in my closet several things from the "too little box"

My DH is suddenly "interested" almost every evening.

I feel better in my clothes

I have a waist.

I went from a 40DD to a 38DD

People are begining to notice that I am losing weight.

You girls are complaining about DD's...while I wish I had more up on top! I'm big around, but a small cup size (B...but if they made 42A, it'd be better!). lol. I'm getting banded tomorrow and it's my fear that I'll lose what little boobs that I have! ha. Oh well...the "chicken cutlets" are already my best friend...maybe I'll just double up on them. heehee.

All of you are doing great!! Keep up the good work! I look forward to sharing my NSV soon.

Congrats on all the NSV's Renewed! My DH is "interested" a lot now too lol.

Comepickmeup- Believe me, I would be thrilled with my DD's if they sat where they are supposed too LOL. They also give me shoulder problems too. I want to be somewhere in the middle......like a nice C cup.

[renewedhope 4]

C sounds perfect to me as well. As I am losing my DD's are starting to stare at the ground if you know what I mean. When I was at a healthy weight and in good shape I was a small C and that was just about perfect for me. the shoulder pain does get old.

2. I have dropped almost 3 sizes.

3. I can buy clothes because I like them, not because they are all that fits.

4. My b..tt doesn't touch my back anymore. (not a pretty picture).

5. My shoes don't kill my feet every day.

6. I have energy to do something other than sleep on Sundays.

7. I can scratch my back.

8. I am not consumed with food every second of the day.

9. I can shave my legs without holding my breathe.

10. I can climb stairs without stopping to catch my breathe.

11. My face is thinning out.

12. I don't crave diet coke anymore.

13. I want to go out and about with my family.

I could go on and on.

This is the best decision I have ever made.

Ditto on #4, and you're right, not pretty to look at!

Great NSV's- your weight loss is going great!

Thanks everyone! I can't believe others don't have nsv's to share. This is one of the best weight loss experiences I have ever had and I can't wait to share my successes! I love to read others' as well.

My face looks thinner.

People are telling me I'm skinny. (I'm really not)

I'm down from a tight 18 to a 16, a little snug though.

My tops are an XL instead of 1x or 2x

I can now run 2 miles effortlessly and I don't need pain meds afterwards

No longer drink beer or sodas, okay maybe the occassional wine.

I just feel so much better and happier.

I LOVE this topic!

1. I can walk the stairs at my office and not have to stop (6 flights). 6 months ago, I was wheezing.

2. I love to work out and I feel so good.

3. People are starting to notice and random people are telling me how good I look.

4. My skin is better than ever, it has cleared up and I look younger!

5. I have 2 bags of fat clothes that I will NEVER wear again.

6. The BEST NSV is that I am finally starting to feel like ME again!!

I can't wait for more!
