I posted this on the VSG board and the Ontario Board but I could not NOT share with my BMI over 50 ladies since you all have been some of my biggest support/motivation/inspiration!

I have had so many NSV's over Christmas that I thought I'd pop on to share a few. This morning I hit a weight of 178 pounds which is 212 pounds lost! I now have 14 pounds until a healthy BMI and 28 pounds until 150 which is my ultimate goal...I am 5'8 tall and I am 11 Months post-op as of Christmas Day!

As a reminder because I love and need to remind myself...this is me before!

NSV #1 - Getting on Skates again after well over 16 years! Best part is getting to enjoy the ice with my 4 year old (seen here) and my 6 year old!

NSV #2 - Outdoor snow play and sledding with the kids!

NSV #3 - Lululemon Yoga Pants Size 6 slim!!! Yes they are yoga pants and stretchy....but even still I will that that size 6! Ha! Ignore my bed head and exhausted look - it's Christmas Morning and we were up late Christmas Eve! I also love that I am swimming in my size Large pajamas in this pic!

NSV #4 Being in holiday pictures and letting myself be a part of memories for my children!

Thank you SO much for sharing your wonderful success and inspiration. I'm only 3 weeks out from surgery, and still doubt my ability to persevere to "normal". You provide a great example of hard work and success when I really needed one. Thanks so much, and CONGRATULATIONS on the size 6!
