NSV "You have a jawline!"

So the past few days I've had a couple Scale Victories: 1/2way to goal, moved from "Obese" BMI to "Overweight". More than 40 pounds lost so far.

But I think the best was when I was out with friends the other night. They've been aware that I've been working to lose weight, and have been really supportive - asking how it's going, not sticking the pizza under my nose, etc. This week, I had to go to a work event before our get-together, so was dressed a little more professionally than the usual jeans & fleece. So I think the change was a little more noticeable and everyone commented on how much progress I've made.

However, I think the best was one friend (who's known me since I was 50 pounds lighter than when I started this journey) said "You have a jawline!"

I mean I didn't realize until he said it that it had disappeared, but it was great to hear that it was back.

Of course I celebrated by eating 2 slices of pizza. Grrrrrrrr. But with the help of MFP, I'm back on plan and headed towards goal!
