Non Scale Victory

First topic message reminder :

After reading how well Chris is doing with NSV's I thought I would love a thread where we could post NSV's like getting into clothes ect.

Us pre-ops could post nsv's that we are looking forward to or would love.

So what have your NSV's been or what NSV's would you like?

I had a NSV yesterday - I had a bath!

I haven't had baths by choice for years and years because of the trouble I had getting out but yesterday I had a bath and I could get out with no troubles.

Oh my - now that is an insanely fantastic victory - I love baths and I remember when I went into a hotel a couple of years ago that had one of the standard regulation size bathtubs and I could barely fit me and the water and was concerned about getting out - a very sobering moment- ;hail to skinny geek.

Hey, TP, that's great!
I love my leggings, and just yesterday bought a couple of new summer tops to go with them.
Actually, I guess that's a big NSV for me -
I bought 4 t-shirts and 2 of those blouson long tops that go over leggings - for only $65 total!
When I was big, I would have been lucky to get half of that for the same price!
Not only that, though - I walked past My Size the other day and the sign says sizes 14-26 - and I realised that not only do I not have to shop there any more, but if I go down just one more size, I won't be ABLE to shop there any more!!!

Yay Chook!!

I had a NSV yesterday. I bought some leggings (you know like stockings, but without the foot bit), and I fit into an average. Normally I have to buy tall/extra tall (and anyone who has met me can account to the fact that I am a shortie), even though my weight is on the border line I bought the smaller size, and they fit!!

As a pre sleever it's so nice to see all the different NSV's others have had and having!!!
Go all you good things!!

Hey, Chook - so you really weren't still a 16 after all! LOL Skipping sizes is wonderful, isn't it? Good on you!
Chris

Go Chook how wonderful for you.

Hugs,

Hia

Well I have been feeling bit flat with regard to weight loss, but came back to reality with a big thud!! I have been quite hung up on sizes and a tad upset at still being a 16. I ordered a pair of cheap shorts off the net, I thought I'd get a 14 to give me a bit more motivation to tone etc. Well madness...they are too big. So now I am finally jumping for joy! Size 12 here I come, and about time.

Cheers Chook

Great news Suz. I hope you had plenty of lovely bubbles too.

Good for you.

Hugs,

That is fantastic Suz!!!

It is the small things that make us smile, isn't it!

Yes, FG, it's great! We worked out that it's about 30 years since we were both around the same size!

Hi Chris,

That's wonderful, its nice to get back to the same shape as siblings. It sounds like your sister is pretty supportive as well, sometimes it can take some adjusting for them when they don't have the fat sibling any more.

Hi everyone
Had a wonderful NSV the other day - my 'little' sister was visiting and we both bought a pair of pants - in the same size! Okay, hers are a little big and mine are a little small, but still...

thanks deb.....and no there was nothing left in the tank for dancing in the sheets...lol we had to drive home from manjimup (1 1/2 hours and my hubby had to be up for work at 6am...we got home at 1.30am.

Jodi...this is the first big concert i have been to in a very long time as well, probablyt since my early 20's.....I noticed you said it was your 40th....its mine in about 10 weeks.
I hope you have a great night...i might just see you there...

Wow- you miss a few days on the forum and there are NSVs popping up all over the place!

Bushgirl- congratulations on having nothing to wear! Those tops were bargains too. Enjoy those new jeans. Did you find some nice undies too?

Lib- normally I would think of only having 2 pairs of pants to wear as a tragedy, but we all know that it's actually a fantastic victory. Well done.

Tickled Pink- Size 12 jeans- absolutely awesome. Hope you feel fab in them.

Gail- glad that people (bankers nonetheless) are noticing your wonderful weight loss. Congratulations.

Bella- here's to using the "were" word much more often in our vocabularies...and get the to a cobler's shop girl!

Nicole- glad you found the energy to dance all night. Hopefully there was a little left in reserve for dancing in the sheets afterwards? Have a great time at Pink you lucky girl!

Lynette- you go girl rocking those ankle boots! Well done on the leg crossing too.

Jodi- glad you are able to enjoy cuddles in your partner's lap now- although short lived due to the bones...or the boner? Whatever.

Again, congratulations to everyone on your wonderful NSV's.

Saturday night nic then off to either the cas or to the court either way ill be (workin it gurl lol ) cant wait have never had chance to go to a concert before and they say her concerts are awesome x jodi

ROFL Jodi - I have the same problem - finally can sit on his knee without squishing him, and my bones hurt his legs! LOL

i also bought new shoes for the party and i managed to dance in them all night as well.....couldnt walk to well when we left but who cares...nice black stilettos...they were

hey jodi are you going friday or saturday???
Im going with my hubby on saturday night...i cant wait. Not sure about wearing my heels there though as im not sure how well i would stand after a couple of hours.

jodi i always get comments about my cheekbones......even more so now i have lost weight...and the fat doesnt hide them...lol

Always wanted to sit on my partners knee but never could always got told to get off cause i was to heavy now I can its so lovely to sit on him and have a cuddle, but now he tells me after a while that my bottom bones are sticking into him aaarrrgghhhhh cant win lol but lovely all the same.......x Jodi

I get the shoe thing too, and just recently bought and wear a pair ankle length boots with heels, haven't done that for a while. I got another small NSV, I can actually cross my legs when sitting ie knee over knee, can't remember the last time I could cross my legs like that.

I get the shoes thing. I bought myself some really nice heels about 2 years ago, but my feet hurt after wearing them for small periods of time. They are now my work shoes!!!

Oh, Nic, how wonderful! That's a huge NSV, and one I hope to match one day. Good on you, and I'm glad that you had such fun.
Your turn next, Jodi, and have one for me!
Chris (who's generally in bed by the time others go out!)

Great news Nicole. You go girl!!!

Glad to hear you had a fantastic time.

Hugs,

Nicole thats awesome and so liberating isnt it. Its like being set free.
This weekend my friend and my kids are taking me to see pink and then clubbing afterwards for my own 40th birthday and im going to boogie the night away all night long and i wont be drinking either and want to be in te thick of it for a change in my mini dress and killer heeled boots. I bet when you got on the dance floor you had all eyes on you for all the good reasons, oh and by the way you have the most amazing cheek bones. X Jodi

hi everyone,

i wanted to add to my NSV's
Last night we went a 40th birthday and i danced all night long....wooohooo
I didnt feel embarassed or feel that anyone was looking at me and laughing...lol and i didnt need any alcohol to motivate me to get on the dance floor !!!!!

Oh, Bella, it's so long since I've worn heels that I'm afraid if I got into them now I'd fall flat on my face. Flatties rule!
(and I'm short too, but I don't care)
Chris
