NSV for someone who didn't have so much to lose!

JessHealthKick

Heya MFP, I will quickly tell the story first for those who don't want to read too many details! About a week ago I met up with some friends who I hadn't seen since October last year. They were visiting the city I live in now. The first thing one of them said was 'wow have you lost weight? Can definitely tell on your face, you look great!'. And only a week before then my boyfriend's housemate also commented that he thought I had lost weight too. I have only lost about 10lb and at times feel like I am going backwards, but this is getting on for 10% body weight so I was feeling great!

I started out at 145~147lb (66~67kg) and I am 5"7 (170cm) tall. I was never overweight or so much unhappy with my weight, but just wanted to lose a bit to be more confident with myself and get the figure I had always wanted to have but didn't have the dedication to deserve, so this NSV has really kicked my into wanting to get to 130b (15lb weight loss) before I move back to my city next month. I fear that the stress/dread of moving home will send me backwards, but who knows.

I am currently 135lb (61.2kg)! Has anyone else who started out a 'healthy' weight but just wanted to be their dream weight had an NSV recently? I always read about NSVs here of people who started out really high - it is GREAT that you are all losing the weight - but I feel like there are not so many users here who started out with smaller amounts to lose.

Thanks MFP and MFPers for the ongoing support :flowerforyou:

p.s. another sneaky NSV is that I finally weigh less than my best friend never thought I'd see the day
