I had a patient today (that did not know me when I was MO) say to me today "I wish I could be skinny like you" - SKINNY! I also heard today - "you are looking so tiny" (from a co-worker) and "you are wasting away to nothing" (from a patient that did know me when I was MO) and "you better not turn sideways or we won't be able to see you" (from another patient that also new me when I was MO). Yesterday a former patient came back for a visit and didn't recognize me! Yippy - it is working! I am so close to a normal BMI now that I can taste it (of course that taste is high protein, low carb and low calorie). I would love to be at a normal BMI for my next appt. with my surgeon (Sept. 22) but not sure I will make it since I will be having another unrelated surgery this next Friday and my activity will be stalled for a bit.

So happy for you.  I met with old friends today and the words skinny and pretty used is very new.

I'm pretty new here, so could someone tell me what NSV stands for?  I've seen it multiple times and for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Non scale victory - something other than the lbs. lost!

So glad for you, Paula! And I'm sure the better health that comes with a healthy weight is wonderful too!

Keep going -- for life -- you tiny thing!

Congratulations on your success.  And approaching a normal BMI!  That is fantastic. 

I remember the first person who called me skinny.  It made my day!

best wishes,

Carol
