    So, I went to visit my parents and we went to the Royal Gorge Bridge (Canon City, Colorado). They have a zip line that I went on!!! Over 1000 feet above the river, from one side of the gorge to the other! I couldn't have met the weight limitation when I first started losing weight, and I wouldn't have tried it at all before losing 75 pounds!!! Oh the adrenaline rush!!

    That's great. About a month ago I had to go through my closet and spent half the day just trying on clothes and checking sizes. I took two boxes full that were too big to goodwill and put all the rest in order of size so I can shrink down into them - too fun!

    I did the same thing! Sorted clothes into the ones that fit now. It was nice to see more clothes moving to the it fits! Side.

    Just bought a new bathroom scale - and didn't have to look to see if it was high-capacity before I selected the one I wanted.

    Ha, I guess that's our first "scale/non-scale victory" - too funny!

    A co-worker (who weighs about 100lbs soaking wet) said, "You've lost weight haven't you?" :smiley:

    I just had my 3 month med check at my Dr's office and my blood pressure and cholesterol levels are the lowest they've been in 20 years. :smiley:

    My greatest NSV has been the realization that so many of the times when I thought to myself, "Well, you're just getting old and tired." I should have been saying, "Well, you're just getting fat and lazy."

    40 pounds lighter, I weigh less than I did at 40. With exercise I have been getting, I can out race the woman I was at 30. The little things make me happy. Like I can pick up the dog's bowl painlessly and without hearing that creepy cracking noise coming from my knees.

    The change in mindset is the best NSV of all.

    Went to a party tonight. Kept portions small, skipped the fattier buffet items, had just one beer (my favorite kind so I splurged) and a tiny piece of cake. I had a nice time without having a pork out. The food was good, too, catered by one of my favorite places. Still, I have been doing really well the past few days and it wasn't worth it to me to derail my train.

    I ran into a coworker I hadn't seen in over a year from a dfferent department (I changed shifts about then). I said hi and she hardly said anything betond "hi" back. After a few moments she ran after me, apologizing. She said she didn't recognize me at all!
