This forum and Funny NSV

I just found this forum by checking out a friend's post. I rarely go to my start page.  I'm glad it is here. I know everyone's journey matters but since my time is limited, I try to focus on responding to people who started with over 300 pounds to lose.  It is different when you lose 100 pounds and have 60, 70, 100 more to go.

Funny NSV: I met someone at a restaurant. We sat at a booth.  I had to pull the table closer to me because it felt too far away. WTF!!!  I didn't think about it until later.

Hello and glad you found us! Love coming in here... Ok so I am always coming in here thanks to 3G and IPAD2!!
Ok I totally get what you are saying and that is why this group exists. It does look different for persons with higher BMI. Do y mean your time is limited because you are busy?

The journey for me will be life time long. When I get to goal I will have to maintain. I am hoping to make it to goal with in the next year or so. When we get there this will still be a place I feel I can come to.

I love your NSV! ! Ah ha moments even when we realize it after the fact... They are a wonderful feeling!!

Hugs,
Sherrie

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!!         SHERRIE <3

Yeah. Limited in time- although right now I am seriously procrastinating. 

I think that I may come to this forum first.

I hope to reach goal (whatever THAT is) by the end of the summer.  I will decide what that number is as I get closer.

High Five MIMI!

That is fabulous!!!  Yup, nothing like looking down at the floor between you & the table!!!!

We get it.  Yup, most of us have more than just a few vanity pounds to lose, so pull up a chair & get to know us ;)  (I may have already lost the weight of a solidly built adult woman -  I still have a petite one to go!)

Anything under 30 pounds to me is VANITY pounds ;)  I actually had the nerve once to say, "It's just 20 - 30 pounds of water weight..." I was kidding, but we both laughed!

No offense to folks who have less BMI to start with, but it is a little different when you are carrying, let's say, a LINEBACKER  worth of extra weight... That is why I call anything around or under 30 pounds "vanity" weight ;)

So, I have to lose let's say a cheerleader, still!  Already lost a female welder's weight (how much my 5' 10" welding daughter weighs)...
