    I think NSV's give my scale a little less power.

    Congratulations on your great weekend! I love that line.

    I just got great news on my blood work from my Dr's office. I've been working to reduce my cholesterol and eliminate another prescription. Diet only controls part of this, but mine has gone from a high of 235 and is now down to 162, which is well within the normal range!

    Dr. appointment this morning and I no longer need to take my blood pressure medication. I've gone from 5 prescriptions now down to 2!

    Now that's a victory! Way to go!

    That is such awesome news! Congrats on getting those numbers down. Absolute proof that a lifestyle change changes life! ;)

    I just saw this! How FANTASTIC!! I'm so happy for you, I'm sure your doctor was too. It's a remarkable accomplishment.

    Several things are much easier. . . after a 30 pound weight loss. Some clothes fit better. Bending over is easier. Looking forward to more victories!

    Congratulations on hitting the 30 pound loss mark! You should find something that weighs that much and pick it up and walk around with it for 5 minutes and then bask in the glory of what you've accomplished.

    Earlier this week my wife's uncle brought a dozen or so family friends & relatives to dinner. I hadn't seen of the men in well over 1 year.

    After 15 minutes, he came up to me and said he had to ask someone who the guy sitting next to my wife was. :smile:

    Of course, the last time I saw him I didn't have a moustache. So maybe it wasn't the 200 pound loss alone. LOL

    It feels good to surprise people, doesn't it? Those moustaches can really throw people.

    I had no idea how much weight I gained until I could not cross my legs, get off the ground, and fit into my clothes. I don't own a scale but even when I looked in the mirror I didn't notice. I'm getting rid of the unhealthy lifestyle and moving more these days. I could cross my legs today! You guys are an inspiration. I'll keep on moving.

    I've starting to discover some lost bones. I know that sounds weird, but I've actually got ribs, and collarbones, and hip bones. I thought I had lost them years ago. Who knew?

    Great for you! Letting these victories motivate us to keep moving is what it's all about. :smile:

    I love reading NSV's. Mine for today was, I went to a Mexican buffet and didn't make a complete pig of myself. I still probably ate more than I should, but I only had one plate, a few chips and one bite of flan. Plus, I walked to and from the restaurant.
