    Congratulations! MY NSV is that my neighbor asked my husband if he got a new wife! LOL! I guess he hasn't seen me but since weather is better he saw me outside!

    LOL!

    Mine was earlier this season when the ice cream man took note of my changed physique and wanted to know how I did it. His wife had lipo and she was really disappointed in the results...lol. Can't imagine losing 100 lbs through lipo. Pretty sure that would kill you!

    What does NSV stand for? I can guess that it's something positive.....no small victory????

    I take it as Non Scale Victory, but No Small Victory is good too.

    A co-worked I haven't seen in about six months didn't recognize me in the cafe' when I went for ice, he asked someone who I was!!! YAY!! She called me later to tell me, I was wondering why he half-heartedly replied when I said hello :)

    That is a good one. I haven't seen some of my co-workers for a while now, we will be attending a meeting in a few months where we will all get together. I may surprise a few of them.

    I went for my 2-month check up today with the physiologist and found out I am down 43% of my body fat! Here I was thinking I was not doing that well and that I should be working harder. LOL

    Congrats to you.....I have been out of surgery for over a year (almost a year and half) and my A1c has stayed below 5.0.

    Yesterday I tried on my wedding rings and they fit! I hadn't been able to wear them for about 10 years.

    That is FABBY!! I had that happen... and then I lost another 35 pounds and I can't wear them again because they are too loose (oops!). No big, though. I'm still happy! :)

    Yeah... my rings are too loose as well. Keep trying to talk my hubby into getting me new ones when I reach goal! He's not falling for it though. Lol

    Yesterday was the start of my last week in my fifth month post op (or 25 weeks, LOL). I took some photos and measurements because the scale was messing with me. I am ok with my progress. It's still a long way until I am done and it frustrates me not to be able to tell my body where to lose it from, but hey, it's ok.

    Better than ok. It's working.
