Officeslave 0 Posted April 9, 2008 This may be TMI - so you may want to stop reading.................. But I had a visit from Aunt Flo for the first time in 6 or 8 months.....my dr said it would come back when I lost weight. Not really a "victory" since that whole process sucks, but it does show I am losing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaxBandster 11 Posted April 10, 2008 I have become much more regular since I have lost so much weight. As an added bonus, if I have plateaued, I always begin to drop again once I get my visit. I'm almost beginning to look forward to them! LOL As an added NSV, today my 21 year old son was in the kitchen with me and I was standing with my side to him. He said, "Mom your front is becoming much more uniform" (his word for flat! LOL) Seems like I'm losing my tummy! My husband also mentioned recently that my boobs now stick out more than my stomach! Yeah!!!! :huh2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamjpjb 1 Posted April 10, 2008 This was a big one for me. Had to renew my driver's license and they wanted to know if all the information was still correct. My weight is accurate! After nearly 15 years, I finally have gotten down to the correct weight on the license. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadySteadyGo 8 Posted April 10, 2008 That is the funniest NSV, but only because I could completely understand it. Mine probabley shaves 50 lbs off. I just couldn't ever bring myself to change it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StLouisGal 1 Posted April 11, 2008 I hadn't thought about the Drivers License. Mine is due to renew in December. It is finally accurate again now after many years. yippee My size 20 jeans fit this morning. I have been trying them on every Friday for about four weeks. Today they fit perfectly. Since surgery I am down from a too tight to be comfortable 24 jeans to a smallish size 20. Who cares if the scales move as long as I am getting smaller. Have a wonderful day!

Ezma 2 Posted April 12, 2008 I have recently noticed that I have interest again in the things that used to make me happy. I want to decorate, meditate, shop, dance, even music has a whole new appeal. It's like a flashback to my early 20s and it feels great! It's like my mindset has shifted back to normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ailbhe 1 Posted April 16, 2008 A girl in work said "you're doing really well. You must have lost about 3 stone (approx 42 pounds)" when in fact I have lost just under 2. Yay. At least people are noticing it. 1 Gibson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luvinke 0 Posted April 18, 2008 I finally have a NSV. Okay this morning I went to my closet and pulled out a pair of jogging pants that I brought in February and they appeared to look really small (you know from one of the outlets that carry irregular items) and decided to put them on they fit great, I even had room so to top that off I pulled out a t shirt to wear with them and got my teenage daughter to tie the shirt up in the back and she said "wow mom you look good, your butt looks smaller and your hips have gone down". She sees me everyday and for her to notice just set my day off. I feel GREAT! Not to mention I'm going to the Doctor for a fill today and I know it's going to be positive.

Officeslave 0 Posted April 22, 2008 I dug into some old dress clothes I had hung onto and found 3 pairs of pants that finally fit again! YEA! I even had one pair that were too big! Now I wish I would have kept all of those clothes I got rid of when I was in my "These will never fit again, might as well give them away" phase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I wish I would have kept all of those clothes I got rid of when I was in my "These will never fit again, might as well give them away" phase. I went through that phase too and wish I had kept some things but if I had kept everything that I wish I had, I wouldn't have room to live in my house and I wouldn't get to go shopping for new things now. Yes, I am getting rid of my "fat" clothes as soon as they get too big.:biggrin2: Congratulations on your success. I am now at the end of my "I'll keep this just in case because it's too good to get rid of" clothes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ailbhe 1 Posted April 25, 2008 I am actually starting to look after my appearance again and people are noticing. I'm taking more time on my "beauty routines". Before the surgery I would have just hopped out of the shower, tied my hair in a ponytail and thrown on whatever was clean. now i pluck, preen and apply tan. I put on my make up and style my hair and decide what I am going to wear. It means I have to get up earlier but I feel great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luvinke 0 Posted April 25, 2008 Yippee, I've got another NSV today! This is my second one, I'm to excited. I went to the store yesterday and was walking past the Juniors Department, they had all these beautiful bright spring/summer colors so I started browsing. Low and behold I ended up buying 3 sundress and a tube top all size XL (Juniors). Talk about feeling great I'm on cloud nine. To me it means I will soon be out of the plus size for good. Granted everything had a little elastic but I'm on my way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
