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?

Well .... my victory is really scale related but I had to show off my ticker SOMEWHERE now that I've lost 20kg. It's just one of those milestones that feels really great. And it's been a while coming - I think I'm one of the slower losers on the site - 20kg in 4 and a half months - but it's been pretty steady and felt okay (most of the time!)

The most amazing thing is that I haven't been below 90kg since my late 20s which was quite a while ago.

I was thinking the other day that we're all a bit like Benjamin Button - looking better and younger as we get older!!

Gee, I seem to have missed a lot in just a couple of days offline!
Congratulations everyone on your great NSVs.
Chris

Fantastic news Bushgirl and Tamara.
. Wonderful NSVs for both of you.

Hugs,

Oh Lib that 's awful - how can someone run off with someone elses dress!

My dream has always been to do a trash the dress session when I eventually lost weight, but my wedding dress has dissappeared with the person who had it in a shop for sale :( so when I get to goal I am going to buy a cheap 2nd hand one and do a trash the dress!

Bush girl , looks like you are now officially a loser.



Way to go tickled pink , nice NSV baggy wedding dress , cool as

Great news Bushgirl on the size 18 pants and fantastic news Tamara on the wedding dress.

Belly I got married 3 years ago, I just had my wedding anniversary last week, maybe that's where you got confused?

See I knew that you guys would understand

Oh TP

You must be tinkled pink, haha. That is forsure an awesome NSV

I was so big when i got married I hired a wedding dress.

oh Tickled, now that IS a biggie!

Now i can't remember, you're already married aren't you? Or was it you whose getting married soon? Do you have time to get it altered if thats the case? How cool is that, getting your wedding dress taken in instead of having to order a bigger size :)

Either way, well done!

I just had the best NSV any woman could ever hope for - I tried on my wedding dress and it is too big!!!!
I had it designed and made for me, so it was exactly right (in fact it was a teeny bit tight on my back) and now it is way too big, especially in the boobs and hips.

Good work on the thighs Gail. Im hoping that mine have shrunk a bit more before I go to KL or I could be in trouble with the humidity, and them rubbing together.

Bushgirl - that's awesome news about the size 18's. You'll be fitting into them in no time!!

My first NSV- After my little jaunt in hospital I havent yet worn proper pants- been wearing trackies and PJ's til now.
I tried on my 4 pairs of jeans/trousers and all are loose without even stretching any! I tried on a pair of slacks in size 18 and they fit ( a little too snug for my liking) But they FIT! I havent been able to get my butt into size 18's since i was 19!!! (some 7 years ago). A few more weeks and a bit of exercise and I can wear them out of the house!

Great news about the thighs Gail. Looking forward to that one myself, especially in the hot weather.

You're a champ with the running. I hope the foot bone isn't a problem for you. Be sure to let us know.

Hugs,

Oh I hope the foot is OK Gailo.
Congratulations on the slapless thighs- and the ability to do a 5km run in the first place.

My latest NSV is that I've noticed that my thighs are no longer slapping together when I do my 5km run on Saturday mornings!!!

Now I just have to work on not injuring myself. Had a small bone in my right foot "pop" today, the pain has gone now but I'm probably looking at an xray this week to make sure I haven't broken anything...

Yep, definitely taking the spare pair....the world's just not ready for that lycra letting go while I have them on!!!

Great news NanJo. It's a good idea to take a back up too.

Have a lovely holiday.

Hugs,

Congratulations Nanjo!
and glad you have spare just in case

I've just been packing clothes ready for our holiday and found I fit into a pair of size 18 bathers/swimmers/cozzie etc that I last wore 9 yrs ago. The top of the fits well but I am going to have to take in some around the bottom, it's looking like the saggy baggy elephant.
Yes I am taking it with me and yes, I have another new pair just in case the lycra dies!!! LOL

great to be able to wear the put away jewellery .
good on you

Excellent Lib

Before long you'll be able to slip it on/off with no trouble.

A couple of years ago for my birthday my husband gave me an oval shaped gold bangle. It took me ages to squeeze it on, was quite painful, but last night I managed to get it off!! Wasn't a slip off, it was a force it over my knuckles, but I always worried about my arms getting too fat and having to cut it off before my hand fell off!! So 1 less thing I have to worry about now!!

Well done Jodi - you deserve all your success. Can't wait for the photos!

thankyou all so much i think im more excited than the birthday boy its all about dresses and shoes i think my dr has created a monster and im soo loving it lol x

A size 10 Jodi. How wonderful.

Have a great night and blow their "little cotton socks off".

Hugs,
