Twenties NSVs

[janesays 2]

two non-scale victories in one today! so i gave in and shopped for new clothes, i wasnt going to for awhile but im going to ny in a little over a week for some job interview type things, and i HAVE to look good... so i bought a really cute dress (size 14-- omg!) and needed some boots to go with it. i havent worn real boots (not snow boots).... EVER! i always try them on but, of course, they never fit over your calves. I found some boots at torrid but i didn't think they were very cute, plus they had a big heel and i'm tall enough as it is. so i went to bakers, tried on some boots.... and the cutest pair FIT! so i was walking around the store sooo happy just wanted to make sure they were comfy, and would you know it, but two women go, "excuse me, are you free?" and i kind of stared for a second and they go "oh wait-- do you work here?" and i laughed and said no, and they were like "oh sorry! you're just so fashionable, i guess i just assumed.."

made my day! i loveee my boots, cant wait to wear them!

That's awesome Jane!! I already shared this one with you but I had a great one tonight. I was at the gym and I was doing some leg presses. I'm really focused and then I look up and see this girl checking me out. Checking me out!! Jeeze never thought that would happen :biggrin:

haha well drew like i already said-- OF COURSE she was checking you out! i mean come on, you're in the two-hundees now. just keep on working out and getting buff so you can ward off the creepers and protect me..... i mean.. all of us girls :biggrin:

I love this thread. I get banded tomorrow. So, no big victories yet, but since I started my liquid diet, my pants are fitting looser. I think I already lost 17lbs.

It'll be great MrRiceGuy. I can't really convey how great it feels to put your pants on and they are several sizes too big! Just wait :thumbup:

I have this one pair of stretchy work-ish pants that I wear a lot because they are comfortable and actually look decent.

I went to put them on to go to work this morning, and they are TOO BIG. I was in shock. I'm saving them for now because I love putting them on and seeing that they are too big, but once I get to goal weight they are the only thing I am not donating - I am burning those bad boys.

yeah the baggy pants are great.. I love them.. My NSV for yesterday was trying to play soccer with my son yesterday and havin my pants fall to my knees while trying to run... we were in our backyard so it wasn't to embarassing... So I went in the house to get out a pair of pants from last year... and they FIT.. still a little tight but i got them on and buttoned and I could walk and sit and didn't feel uncomfortable. So I can say that as of right now I am loving the Lap-Band even more.. I started at a tight size 24 and I can wear a size 18 now.

The baggy pants are my favorite part. Yesterday I walked around the mall several times (a huge mall too Shops at La Cantera, where I work) and I never got out of breath or tired. It was amazing. And I fit into size 42 pants!! I started out at 50 so that's a huge deal. Almost down 10 sizes!!

that's awesome drew.. keep up the good work.

I had an awesome one the other day. I BOUGHT WORKOUT CLOTHES FROM A NORMAL OUTDOORS STORE!!!! I haven't been able to do that in YEARS!!!

[janesays 2]

haha thats great drew!

yeah lately i've been getting a bunch of compliments from people who don't know i've had the surgery or don't even know i'm trying to lose weight. the other day i saw a professor from last year and she stopped in her tracks and goes, "jaaaane!" (looks me up and down) "you look... GREAT!"

so those moments always feel good.

also, ive been wearing some old jeans from high school, and now even those are starting to get a little loose. they were super tight even when i first bought them.

I love it, I got 3 awesome NSV's this past week:

1.) I went home to Vegas to visit family and my brother and his wife (who don't know I'm banded) both said I look awesome and like I've lost a lot of weight immediately when they saw me... and I believe they meant it because they kept mentioning it.

2.) My size 50 belt that I usually wear doesn't fit anymore. I had to punch a new hole into the belt for it to fit.

3.) I got home from my trip and my wife said '(I) looked so hot when (I) walked through the door' and then raped me...twice...wait that's probably TMI.

[janesays 2]

hahaha mr. rice guy, i never thought in my entire life that i would wish to be raped -- twice.... but thats always a great nsv! haha well i mean, i wouldnt want your wife to "rape" ME... i'd probably be more comfortable with a guy im dating.

and yeah isnt it the best when people who don't know you are even trying to lose weight can't stop talking about it!? at first i thought i would be too embarrassed if that were to ever happen, but now i love love LOVE it!

One NSV I've had is that all of my nice jewelry now fits. I got a Tiffany's Bracelet for Christmas and it was too tight to wear at first. I've lost about 10 pounds and I've been wearing it every day! My rings keep sliding around on my fingers and it's driving me nuts, but it's a good thing!

Have a great day everyone!

That's a good one I forgot to mention, my nice watch I've had to tighten to the next loop for it to fit. I'm so proud of all of us.
