    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!

    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.

    (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: :tongue: )

    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!!
    ---

    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 accountable

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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 good

    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.

    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:
