Well thanks antian because I have seen people post NSV's on site but didn't know what it meant. Believe in learning something new everyday so I guess my NSV today is learning about NSV :noway:
haha, but seriously...my NSV is that I've lost 25 lbs since March and on my way to finishing and reaching my goal (15 lbs to go) and because of my weight loss my husband who was not very supportive in the beginning is appreciative and proud of my success and is starting to think about his own health and weight.0 -
My NSV this week had to be when a co-worker was told me that the weight loss was really showing. What a great feeling and yes it does make me want to try harder. I also had my sister tell me how good I was looking.0
-
Two NSV's I've really had within the past week are: Telling others about my decision to lose weight and resisting temptation
Throughout this past month I've only told really a select few people that I am close with about my decision to start on this journey to a more healthier life. Last week I finally decided to update my facebook with my current weight lost and was amazed at the response I got from friends and people (some I hadn't seen in years)...it was very inspiring and made me feel good that people cared enough to encourage me to move forward with this now there is DEFINITELY no turning back for me and push harder every day.
Last night in my Public Speaking Class we had to present a demonstrative speech and MANY people demonstrated how to make lots of yummy desserts and other foods. At break we were given the chance to sample all of the goodies they had brought in but I stayed strong an didn't have ANY of it even when I was sitting right there in the room with it this for me was a major accomplishment cuz normally even up until 2 weeks ago I would have been like "but its for school I can have just a lil bit"...nope not this time
So those are my 2 real NSV's that I've had since starting on this journey and I hope for more to come!!!! 0 -
Good morning MFP Fam! My NSV definately has to be the significant change I'm seeing in the way my clothes are fitting! I have pants that I bought YEARS ago that I'm able to comfortably slide in. I went to Old Navy (my favorite store) and walked out of there with 2 pairs of shorts. I had been a lil self conscious about wearing shorts...but I tried them on and I looked fabulous(tooting my own horn).:laugh:0
-
My NSV was last night my husband called on his way home from an errand and asked my daughter and I if we wanted some Dairy Queen treats. My daughter of course said yes and I resisted the temptation of a peanut buster parfait and said no thank you! I was really proud of myself and didn't even miss it!0
-
My NSVs have been many over the last 5 weeks:
-My wedding dress has been fitting bigger (have a tie up back so PHEW!)
-2 compliments about how good I look from customers (and their wives no less as well)
-A friend of mine said that it's great that I'm losing weight and I look fantastic
-MY SKINNY JEANS FIT!!! (One more pair of skinny jeans to get into!)
-My fiance has been more "handsy"
Even though I've gained a lb in the last week (could be my TOM), these things mean a LOT to me. I'm so happy to see everyone with NSVs and losses. Congratulations
Handsy, LOL!!
My NSV's are:
-Needing to borrow BF's belt to hold muh shorts up. I don't own a belt.
-Dad raving about how much skinnier I look when I visit once a week! Thanks pop!
-Mornings in front of the mirror are much more pleasent. I have a shape back, and it's an hourglass shape, not my usual busted open biscuit tube body.
-Shoes I haven't worn in a while are super floppy?! Is it possible?
-Shirt I was keeping for when I got skinny IS TOO BIG. Donated.
-50% of my wardrobe gone. Some I was saving for when I was skinny. They're all ugly now! Donated.
I still have a lot of work to do. I'm still struggling with my addiction to salt. Salt = bloating big time, for me.0 -
I actually have a few NSV but the one that sticks out the most is the way my clothes are fitting, especially my PJ's. I have some boy shorts that I purchased from Forever 21 (the little girl store) about a year ago that were super duper tight and now they are super baggy! YAY ME!!!:happy:0
-
My NSV is all my pants are too big! :bigsmile: I've started a pile of clothes to donate since they do not fit. My size 14s are gone and a lot of my 12s are getting loose. I don't plan on going back either. This is a lifestyle change for me.0
-
My results haven't really started to show yet but I guess my NSV is that I've really been getting into working out and going to the gym.0
-
My NSVs are:
Clothes are fitting looser or are just too big and the increased energy I have as a result of all the exercise I have been doing.0 -
My NSV is that a lady I used to work with came to town and we went for coffee last night. I had seen her last year when I was travelling through her town and stopped for supper last August.
She sat down at the table and after our hellos she asked me if I had been sick. When I said no, she asked if I had lost a lot of weight. and I told her I had. She said "it looks like a lot!" I stll have lots to lose so, its not like I look sickly!0 -

I have had a few NSV's lately & one just happened yesterday. We were having one of our family pool parties and I decided that I was going to go out & buy myself a new swimsuit, my suit from last year was falling off when I was swimming (another NSV) I picked a suit 4 sizes smaller than my old one & it fit. My family commented on my weight loss, all positive, I am so very proud of myself.0

THURSDAY June 23rd - Day 38 - "I'm on the Right Track Baby!"
*SEND ME YOUR GOAL WEIGHTS FOR JULY 25TH WHEN YOU WEIGHIN THIS COMING MONDAY!*
(today's post brought to you by prplangl4...I never received a posting from the person who was supposed to do it :indifferent: and I didn't want to leave everyone hanging:ohwell: FYI it too me 4 hours+ to tabulate final results and do the 2 posts for biggest losers!...- this is why I started assigning people to do posts to free me up some so I can actually go work out:laugh: )
CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK - Try something new!
DAILY CHALLENGE/TIP
Keeping with today's theme I want to challenge everyone to try a new food today! Whether it be a healthier substitute for mashed potatoes (like mashed cauliflower) or a new fruit or veggie, just try it!
---
Someone at work made me try a dried prune, and it was suprising good. It quenched a sweet tooth AND is high in fiber...a bought some the other night and now I eat them all the time!
My NSV - FYI my NSV for yesterday was I had to adjust the strap on bra because they were falling off my shoulders :happy: AND someone I hadn't seen in a year showed up at work and said "my look whose losin weight":blushing: ohhh yeahh!!

listen to our biggest weight loser of the first 5 weeks!!! HIS UNDERWEAR are even fallen off!!! now thats a NSV!!! Is everyone friends with this guy and see the calories he burns daily... I WANNA BE LIKE YOU! 0 -
i had a chicken wrap yesterday that was made with a flax seed tortilla.....it was yummy...flax seed is good to reduce cholesterol0
-
Thanks for the honorable mention those last 2 weeks really helped pump up my motivation! I am totally not very adventerous when it comes to new foods, not sure what to try! I have been eating low calorie bread (45 cals a slice), and low cal turkey breast slices (25 cals a slice) for work (we're supposed to eat what the kids eat, but I'm sure they aren't envious of my lunch and I work TOO HARD to eat corn dogs, pop tarts, chips and the like every day).
CONGRATS to all the biggest losers!!!! Everyone is working hard and keeping each other motivated. Thank you for keeping ME on track and accountable0 -
I just want to take a moment to thank you, Kristy. As I was reading the results all I kept thinking was the time committment you have given to this group. That is amazing and I for one THANK YOU. :drinker:0
-
Congrats to all the big 'losers' this week. I am very inspired by you all! Everyone's NSVs are pretty awesome also. Its great to hear them all.
My new food of recent has been Quinoa...Its a grain that is high in protein. I recently tried a recipe from the Biggest Loser and I am planning to try another quinoa recipe this week.
Kristy, you are doing an awesome job maintaining the weigh in spreadsheets, website and posting everyday! I think it was a great idea to delegate the daily posts to other members to lighten your workload. I would suggest to give a little advance notice in case anyone may be away on vacation/holiday. As for me, I know this beachgurl plans to get to the beach a few times this summer!0 -
Wow. What a list of losers! Hooray! I'm so proud of all you guys. You're really taking this seriously and it's paying off big time. ;D
My new food isn't really a new food but I think it's the only thing keeping me from breaking down and eating candy. Although you still need to measure it out because the carbs can add up, it's Multi-Grain Cheerios. I keep them in a crush-proof container in my purse. If I feel the urge to eat or snack, I'll just have a couple of small handfuls. They can be addicting though. I think I'm precariously teetering on the brink of relaxing and gaining some poundage back. I haven't yet, but I know all the signs. I've also stopped drinking as much water and have noticed some bloat coming back. I hate water but it is vitally important to dieting. Everyone please keep drinking water. It DOES work!0 -
First of all congratulations to all of those who are winning at losing. There are some really impressive numbers up there. I am so impressed and motivated to keep going.
I did not know what new food I could choose to try but when a staff member left a bag of pistachios in the staffroom it was like an omen. I have never tried pistachios so I took a few and tried them. I don't know why I have never tried them but they are good and I will certainly buy some more.0 -
Congrats to all who met their goals for June 20th, and to all who had met their goals previously & set new ones, but didn't quite get there! I saw lots of people who are really close to their goal! Everyone keep up the great work!
Big shoutout to Kristy for all the time she is putting into this!! You are so motivating - love it! I wonder how many calories you are burning entering all the data & updating the website - it's gotta count for some!
Heading into the weekend - always my biggest challenge!
New food - hmmm - lately I have been eating Planters NUT-ritions Energy Bars - very tasty!0 -
My try something new for the day is this Juice: Just made a very simple detoxing smoothie and it's delish!
1/4 cup watermelon
1/2 cucumber
handful mint
Optional: Add handful of parsley for an increased detox effect.
Blend and enjoy!
It was so good0 -
I am having a problem with the website. I can't get the page to load. I have tried to load it from different computers and even updated my flash player. I really want to see the week 5 weigh ins.0
-
Congrats to all the Big Losers!!!!!!!! The new food that I tried was quinoa and wheat berries....both very tasty and full of nutrients and protein. Who knew something that looks like flower seeds could be so tasty!!!!!
My NSV...I am 2 sizes from shopping at Victoria's Secrets!
Kristy, thanks for keeping everything so organized.

NSV: I was able to jog 1/4 mile tonight at boot camp. I walked halfway back then busted it out with a jog back.0
-
I have two NSVs. The first one is, my clothes are starting to hang on me and I had to buy a few new things!! The second is, my running is becoming easier!! Even when I do my ultra events and have to carry my hydration pack that weighs about six pounds when fully loaded with water and food!! :drinker:0
