I did some clothes shopping over this past weekend and it hit me - I've gone from a 5X (and pushing not being able to fit into those!) down to a solid 2X.


And these are minor , but still big, too - you know?

Today for the first time I noticed my ring sliding around on my finger - to the point where I don't think I'll be able to wear it this winter. It's already moved from my ring finger to my pinky finger.

Today I also noticed that I was able to do the stairs up to my office building without holding onto the railing. That may seem strange but I had both knees replaced this past winter and my quad muscles are taking forever to recover so stairs are still a challenge. But today I realized I'd gone down the stairs without holding onto the railing and I said to my co-worker, "Look Mom - no hands!"

    Yaaaay, NSV's!!! Those are fantastic... but be careful on the stairs - railings are there for a reason, lol :) (this coming from someone with the experience of breaking their tailbone... not fun.)

    anyway, WTG!!!!!

    Haha! That's spectacular!!!! Great job with the stairs after your knee replacements, slow and steady wins the race and you are certainly WINNING!!!

    Good for you!!! I'll bet you are having a much easier time finding clothes that you like too! There are so many benefits to weight loss! By the way...what is an NSV? Is it a type of goal?

    It took me a while to figure it out too!

    NSV = Non-Scale-Victory
