Girls, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your encouragement!! :hug: This is such a fun place to share these victories! :carrot: :D

That's a wonderful NSV.... you know, it's the small things in life... :)

Yay!! Keep up the great progress. It's those everyday NSV's that make the process so worthwhile!

This is so awsome to hear. You will have many new normals, I'm sure.

Awesome!!!

Wonderful ! And such an important NSV - people who have never been to 300lbs + might find this hard to understand, but I so get this !

That's great!! This journey really is full of awesome surprises!

This is one that is often reported as a NSV and with good reason! It is this right here, that feeling of jubilation over a new task you can now do, that keeps me going every single day. You will just keep collecting little things that other people, people who have never been obese, take for granted every single day. I swear it makes us better people for it. ;) There's so little I take for granted.

I agree! I think people who have always been small just don't know about the everyday joys of living in small(er) bodies...even now I feel that way when I still have a long way to go. I've said the same about infertility...having TTC'd for years for my son I know I don't love him anymore than anyone else loves their kids, but I believe I think of my kids as miracles a little more than someone who maybe tried for a few months. Anyways struggles always give us good perspective on things!

Great NSV! I'm getting close to not being able to do that myself so I can appreciate what your saying. Enjoy every minute of it! Don't discount any NSV!

Congratulations!! That's an awesome NSV!!! Just imagine how many more you're going to have along the way! :cheer2::cheer3::cheer2:

Congrats to you! That is awesome!

Congratulations Shannon; what a wonderful NSV! You're going to enjoy discovering so many more things like this along the way.

Congratulations! That is a great NSV! And don't feel embarrassed about getting to where you were... celebrate where you are going!

I look back (luckily not all that often), and it's mind boggling to think how, not to mention why, I settled for such an inferior quality of life. Anyway....

Shannon, I am so happy for you. There are so many more incredible *little* (not so little!) rewards and benefits headed your way. Such joy and such fun! Keep us posted on each and every one of them, won't you? I can't get enough of this stuff. :)
