Crossing my legs like a lady with ease (and actually finding it my go to sitting position)
Finding movie theater seats/blue jays seats/airplane seats suddenly seem SO ROOMY
Snoring is gone!
Suddenly walking in to stores and actually looking at the clothes. I was so used to knowing nothing there would fit me. It still baffles me that now I can (and not even the biggest sizes they have)
I used to find if I overslept my back would be achy. Thats gone
actually looking fwd to and enjoying exercising (who knew?)
having more than once someone of "normal size" ask where I got my clothes. Cause now I forget i'm not the "big girl" anymore
throwing out 3/4 of my closet. Trying on things that literally wouldn't close, now were so big they fell to the floor
getting hit on (whaaaaat?)

I have a completely new wardrobe now. Mostly small and extra small, size 2 and 4. This by far has been had been my biggest NSV.
These were my, "...someday I'll fit into those pants", pants. As you can see they are huge now. They fall right down to my ankles. Also, the thing is that I had to lose about 30 pounds before I could even get those on!

I have another one after this weekend. Actually 2!
I went swimming with my dogs and we had a hoot.
Went canoeing, which I have never done before. Got in with ease, stood up, got out and didn't sink the boat. I would never get in a canoe because I was terrified it would sink and it would be my fault. All good now!

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
New, vague NSV: spending the weekend outside in a park and not feeling all gross and sweaty and huge and wanting to leave.
Also this morning: Putting on a nice, fitted dressy top that I had kicking around for years, hoping I'd fit into it again. It's far too large and baggy, not able to wear it.
Goddess in training...
