Hey, Cruising around the sight and I cannot figure out what NSV stands for????

Anyone

NSV means "non-scale victory." These are the successes we all experience that are not tied to the numbers on the scale. It's very important to observe and Celebrate these, because as we all know the numbers LIE. Smaller clothes and new physical achievements are more important than the simple dropping of pounds. You'll be celebrating yours before you know it!

You guys are so great. Jamin aren't you next week?? We both have 102 to go. I would saw I'd race you but you have 6 -8 weeks on me. So you'll have to save a spot for me on the healthy, thin, feeling fabulous side of life.

Debbydo~Yes my surgery is Friday the 18th of March !!! That is so cool we have exactly the same amount of weight to lose. I'm saying my goal is to get to 150 but if I lose the 102 and get to 150 I say I'll keep trying for more like 135 . I will DEFFINATLY SAVE YOU A SPOT ON THE HEALTHY SIDE IN BAND LAND OKAY!!!! LOL!!!

Hey you never know we might could race. It would give us an insentive to lose thats for sure. Either way we will both get to our goals and be healthy again. When is your surgery date Debbie?You said about 6 weeks but what is your date?GOOD LUCK!!! Jamie

No exact date yet but my final consult with the surgeon is April 1. I have a family vacation 4/23-4/30 in Disney World. Do not want to be a newbie bandster on vacation. I'm hoping for the first week in May. I have a liberal PPO policy so the surgeon is pretty confident( Because of experience) I won't have trouble getting approved. Who know's I'm trying not to get tooooooooooooooo excited just in case the insurance thing takes long or falls through.

Day after St Patrick's day. Does beer count as a pre opt liqiud LOLOLOLOLOL

You want to get to 115 , how tall are you???

I'm 5 9" I would be a waff at 115. 140 is my goal. I remember feeling really good at that weight.

Debbie I said I would like to get to 135 not 115. I'm only 5'0 tall so I think around 135 would be small eough . Plus I am Large boned and I would look like a skeleton if I weighed 115 TOO! LOL!! My first goal is 150 that is the smallest I've ever been and that was after I lost close to 70 pounds to get there. So I figure that 150 would be realistic for me.
