    Givens - I love your NSV!! I used to have the affliction that the scale was the only determining factor of success, now I LOVE gym successes! Last year, I cried and told my husband there was no way I could go more than 5 minutes on the Stair Climber, now we do 45 minutes side-by-side! I am the happiest sweaty mess ever!

    Chrissy - Clothes NSVs are so great! It's like having a brand new wardrobe right from your very own closet! Next year I am hoping to be brave enough and "small" enough to wear shorts all summer! This year, I have been thankful that Maxi dresses are still in style - because they hide a multitude of sins and I am ADORABLE in them... LOL!!!! So proud of you!

    I sincerely hope not, m23. There will always be folks with 100+ pounds that they want to lose, and it would be a shame if the "vets", with all of their accumulated knowledge and team spirit, left the group after they lost their weight.

    Who's going to watch out for the newbs? :bigsmile:

    Yesterday a friend who is in town on vacation and I went out to dinner. We walked from my work to the restaurant and back, which was roughly a 2 mile trip. Throughout his visit we've gone on walks and bike rides and it's been a lot of fun. I'm just loving being more active in general.

    Today a ring that has been moved gradually from my ring finger to my index finger as I've lost weight fell off. Sadly it's a puzzle ring and can't be resized.

    Givens, you are absolutely right... I would never do that. I treat knowledge as something that should be passed down and kept in motion, not selfishly maintained (only to be lost by time). Besides, every we look at that name (in the future) it'll be a reminder of EVERYTHING we put in to get to our goals and results and where we never want to go back to. What a great motivator!

    That sounds like a fun visit!!! Congrats on the smaller finger size. But, it is puzzling how a ring can not be resized?? :noway:

    My wife remarked to me yesterday that I was going to have "pants on the ground" if I kept wearing the size pants that I was wearing any longer. This prompted me to try on some old pants that are a size down which had not fit for quite some time. This morning, they fit quite comfortably, maybe even a little baggy.

    I feel safe to say that I have dropped one, if not two, pants sizes. Thanks everyone for the great support. I strive to give as much as I have received.

    I had a mini-win today, I put on a shirt I haven't worn in a while that was always tight at the hips... and it just falls nicely loose. I am tempted to go try on my jeans that I stopped wearing because they were too tight in the thighs, and see if I get another win from that! Congratulations to all of you, with all of your amazing victories! I just found this group and I'm glad to see so many postive, motivated folks :)
