Non-Scale Victories

It's better to be on some medication and be well than to take none and risk complications.
At your much, much lower weight now you will be so much healthier all round :-)

Completely agree. I still take my BP at home regularly. For now, I'm in complete agreement I need to take meds. My doc allows me to alter the meds if it dips low. (if I do, I send him an email with my readings and let him know)

I'm taking vitamins every morning anyway, so at least i never forget to take my meds!

At least you know you should stop looking at the scale! Have a family member hide it. Don't worry about the pound, be proud of how well you are doing!

The weight gain/loss doesn't always make sense, so quit stressing about it! Your weight will always fluctuate a little. No rhyme or reason to it..

Two victories this week...

1) This is the exciting one. I'm wearing a large shirt today. First time in forever. Most of my large shirts are still a tad tight, but this one fits perfect. The rest of them are not far behind!

2) This is a weird one, but still good. My wedding ring wasn't super comfortable and it wasn't really great quality, but it was my wedding ring. It'd been falling off often, especially when I'd do dishes. My fingers are just too small now. It's also faded bad. I would have gotten it resized, but my wife was fine with me getting a new one. Yesterday I had to take my old ring off for the last time and put it in her jewerly case. It just falls off too much. I'll be getting a new (cool) ring on Friday!

This is what I'm getting:

Cool NSV! I always had my wedding ring, but didn't wear it when I was fat, as it was so tight. Now I wear it proudly!

I think that NSV make more of an impression than loosing the actual weight.
I remember that a couple of months I walked up a hill, without realizing what a miracle that actually was.
Suddenly I stopped and noticed how easy it was for me to do that.
I still feel that amazement and the gratitude I felt.
Priceless... I hope that feeling never fades.

I love your new ring btw!

Glenn, big congrats on ALL your continuing NSVs. Your new wedding ring gem is beautiful!

A new body AND new jewelry. Love it!
