I have heard of people adding crystal light or sugar free flavors.

you are all doing great thank you for sharing with us your journey of weight lost 

It's not only about the scale but how you feel inside and the way you reach new goals in life and making you feel like a new person inside and out so keep up the good work and soon we all be as happy as you are and reach new goals of our own.

Contrats on your NSV's they made me smile too and start thinking of some of my own changes/NSV's recently

I'm looking forward to baths some day too and haven't had one in years for the same reason!

I've started shaving my legs more often and using a nice body wash

I bought makeup and started using if for the first time in 10 plus years

today I bought a watch and I haven't worn a watch in years because I had no wrists and hated the way any jewelry looked on my fat arm

I have a lot more room between me and the steering wheel

I fit into all my clothes that I grew out of so from here on out I'm going to have to buy new clothes.

This feels so amazing. 

I hope everyone gets to experience this for themselves soon!

Topic: RE: I GOT MY DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Vanessa, my friend and I were there together, and her date was a little behind me as well, so hopefully it will be soon :D,  I called around the last week of feb and they told me the same thing,  they actually told e 6-10 months, I was starting to get so discouraged, and then all of a sudden I got a call for my surgery date It was totally unexpected, so hopefully being in the same session, you will be getting your call very soon

Your very welcome and such a great idea... I know for me when the scale isn't moving like I want it to, I do get a little discouraged but then I remind myself that it is going to move eventually and I will be where I want to be soon enough.. I weigh myself once a week.. every Monday.. But I know when I start to stall I will have to weigh once a month so I don't get upset..Here's to the future.. :)

Topic: RE: More NSV's

Thanks Lesley. I also post these to remind myself of how far I have come. I find it very hard to digest because the scale doesn't move very fast for me and I need to concentrate on the non-scale differences. Sometimes I get very discouraged when the scale doesn't move (the reason I am only weighing about every 3-4 weeks is to not be addicted to the scale and put myself in a negative mind set).

I remember when I was waiting for surgery I found that when people posted their non-scale victories it gave me vision as to what my future would look like.
