I have paid more attention to the scale because the weight is falling off of me. But today I noticed my collar on my dress shirts are looser. My neck fat used to hang over the collar when I wear a tie. Awesome!!!12

Congratulations all.
I love coming back to this thread for a pick me up every few weeks. Love it. 2 -
I had to buy a new suit today since my old ones are not even close to fitting anymore. I dropped a lot of $$$ but after spending 2 hours in the shop trying on so many sizes, I finally found everything that fits perfect. I don't mean to sound conceited, but damn I thought I looked good in my new duds! It made spending the money a lot easier, LOL. No pics yet because it's all packed for our trip, but i'll try to get some pics uploaded in a couple weeks when I get back.
ETA - oh yeah, I weighed today and I was 5 pounds from my goal!21 -
@StacyChrz , eat the toppings off of a piece, or two, of the pizza. It's more satisfying than you'd think!
@collegefbfan, watching our bodies change is so wonderful! Congratulations!!
@nvmomketo , I feel the same! The inspiration is wonderful!
@silverfiend! We deserve to brag on ourselves! This is self love! And the brain believes what we say, and think, about ourselves (negative thoughts aren't easy to overcome, but is huge once we do!! Congratulations on your new suit! Can't wait to see a picture!

I feel like my family is really jumping on board with my keto lifestyle. We are celebrating my Dad's birthday this weekend and planning to order pizza. My Mom asked if I would like her to order me an antipasto salad so I don't have to eat pizza. I love her.
I just eat the toppings off too. It can seem like you're not eating enough food overall without the crust in the beginning and be hard to wrap your head around that but don't forget that you won't feel as hungry overall anyway and it's just sort of a mental thing that makes you feel like you didn't eat much.
Also, my husband had an issue with me "wasting" pizza by not eating the crust and I just asked him if he wanted me to waste it or be fat? And that I can do whatever I want with my piece and he can do what he wants with his. I also offered to share each piece where I get the toppings and he gets the crust so there would be no waste, but he didn't want to be a team player... Lol
He was ok with me "wasting" it after that. But honestly, it's not wasting if you don't eat something that's bad for your body. You can't help it if the rest of the world wants to pile good food on top of gut destroying bread.
I guess my NSV is there's no shame in my no crust pizza eating game.

As for eating just toppings, I learned this somewhere (I think here, but can't recall) and I do this occasionally: put pepperonis on a plate and add cheese on top, cook in microwave for 30-60 seconds (depending on quantity), and then eat with a fork. It's pretty good and is basically eating pizza toppings only.7

The way I explain it is "wasting" the crust is just like "wasting" the egg shell. I boiled the whole egg but am only eating the inside. Or if he is a fruit eater, ask why he is "wasting" the orange peel or the banana peel. Pizza crust is basically the same in my opinion.
As much as I always like pizza, I always looked at the crust as just a tool to hold the stuff I really wanted. Basically, it is just something that kept pizza from requiring a fork.5 -
I love reading these NSV they really inspire me to keep going and always cheer me up. Keep up the good work guys you are doing great!4

A small thing, I know but I was reading about skin tags and just realised that a skin tag on my eyelid has not gone of its own accord. Phew! According to the California Centre for Health Policy Research: Skin tags are most common among obese people, and may be a sign of insulin resistance or prediabetes.
I have not had a test for prediabetes but this is a good sign and a small NSV.9 -

@Sunny_Bunny_ This is why we hit the buffet - I can eat as much crustless as I want, and he can eat his junk! LOL That being said, my small town shop flat out refused to make it without a crust, but the pizza shops in my new town said they'd have no problem making it that way - and they have a gluten free crust, too, which the other shop (same chain) claimed their district manager said they didn't and never would have...
No shame in my game, either. Used to bother my guy, now he kind of randomly brags on me about it. It is so weird. He still is hard core anti-keto, though.1 -
First, thank you for letting me in this group! I appreciate being among people who understand low carb diets are sound, and do work for people long term!
My most recent NSV is not hating how I look in pictures. I used to try to contort my head in all kinds of positions to try to help my face look not as full, now I don't have to try so hard. Also, I'm short, so I always get stuck in front in group pictures. I used to do anything I could to move to the back, but now it's getting easier to just stay in front.7 -
I'm a happy person I've never had to battle depression or anything severe but I've had my funk days. After a week of eating "not so good" and a stressful weekend of moving a daughter into her college dorm and putting a son on a train to go back to his school, I noticed quite a dip in my mood yesterday. I did some fasted cardio first thing in the morning, ate very low carb all day and feel back to my peaceful self today. I like feeling good.

I tidied up my underwear drawer the other week and lo and behold I need to go shopping as they are getting really loose again. Which is a problem if you predominantly wear skirts and dresses. Besides great excuse to invest in some new ones!7

Busted out my weight loss BFF, the tape measure and lo and behold I'm down an inch on my waist from 8/6! For my Apple's out there this is a big deal since our problem area is our tummies and is usually the last place we lose inches
