I have found someone I want to spend my days with. A sweet beautiful woman I can't stop looking at.
She enjoys the active life and will be joining me riding sometimes.
In the past I would have never talked to her
Congrats @KittensMaster!!! I agree, best NSV ever. :-)
@GaleHawkins, those are very impressive health improvements. I like the non-nagging example approach. Thanks for your encouragement!

Fiance this morning put on a t-shirt that a year ago was obscenely tight - and it fitted perfectly. I've been eating LCHF for 15 weeks and when we eat together in the evening he has what I have - but where I have salad for lunch he has a sandwich. Who'd have thought cutting his carbs for one meal a day would have an effect, eh?? He looks secretly pleased with himself...

Today, my a1c was 4.2 down from 7.2 just 6 months ago. My diabetes has resolved. Beyond losing weight, better bloodwork numbers, feeling better overall, fewer migraines and less joint pain, I'm no longer diabetic. *speechless*0

I'm completely blown away but all the monumentally great news. Congrats everyone!!! This all makes me feel so very lucky to be a part of this group. I'm hoping for a miracle also as I've been struggling with numerous health issues for many years.0

Nice job!
I'm noticing my 8's are feeling quite saggy lately. Not ready to buy new yet, but I won't have a choice once all I have is my size 12 clothes for fall.0 -

Fantastic!!! You may be speechless but we all have plenty to say about it!
And great job, @sweetteadrinker2! Time to shop for a new fall wardrobe?

I had to dig deeper in my closet for a pair of pants that doesn't fall off me! I'm now wearing pants I wore when I met my husband!

Freedom from being chained to food!!!
Before low carb, I would eat the second I woke up. Most days I would scarf some cereal down before I even finished making coffee. This morning, I drank coffee and then took a walk, before eating breakfast. That would have been impossible before. Yesterday, I went until 10 am before eating breakfast. In the afternoon, I was a little hungry at about 3:30, but wasn't able to make any food until 6:30, and I was fine. I used to panic. My husband is still getting used to the fact that I won't lose it at certain hours of the day if I haven't eaten.
I imagine this is how 'normal' people feel.0 -
One pair of my "small" jeans now fit baggy!!0

I've just been coasting on my diet for the past several weeks but staying in my macros pretty well. Despite this I've found that I have not gained a pound in over a month. This is not how it would have worked on SAD. It's very encouraging and makes me feel much more in control. I hope that counts as an NSV. lol0

Oh yeah, I recently relaxed my macros and have gone over my carb levels even still a few times, but I'm still losing. That's a win.

Ah yes, the great shopping binge. I'm probably going to stick to leggings and tunics this fall, I have 7 more pounds till my ultimate goal and that can mean the world in jeans. So not quite

I'm still wide awake. In the past i would have been in a carb coma, but today (now officially yesterday) got in over 19000 steps on my fitbit. That was from house cleaning, running errands, my zumba class and walking the dog.
The other big NSV is I managed to talk two of my girlfriends into doing Zumba with me and they loved the class. We normally go out and eat once a week, but now instead of our eating out date, we're going to do a workout together once a week.1 -

Exactly!
I want from 44 waist to 33
It was all clothes replaced
I have an office job so it has been expensive
You can't alter suits that much
It is an NSV of sorts but really an unexpected huge money outlay.
All clothes and shoes....
But it is easy to find size 33 waist pants on sale
Kohls 70% off rack always had my size!!

I did 50 burpees back to back in my Power Hour class today. When the instructor said to do 50 (this was in the last 10 minutes of class, and we'd already done about 50 burpees mixed in with our other exercises throughout the class), we were all just looking at each other like she was completely insane.
I'm proud to say that I'm one of three people (the instructor included) who managed to get through all 50 in the allotted time--about 2 1/2 minutes. 1
