SV & Many NSV in one week

smalleyez06

I have oficially hit my first mini goal. I have lost 25lbs in the last 40 some days...75 more to go until I re-evaluate things. Very exciting to see the hard work paying off.
I have also tried on the black dress I am wearing in my profile picture and I can spin it around to zip it up and back again. I was going to wear that dress to a wedding in Nov and just wanted to look better in it and now I will have to have it altered if I want to wear it then I am pretty sure.
A young gentleman who used to work for me came in to visit and he looks at me mid conversation and goes "Have you lost weight?" Of course I answered yes and then came the dreaded question of how much came up. I did not answer that but he guessed 30lbs and actually since he has seen me I have lost 45. Just simply answered more and he was genuinely so proud of me. It is hard cause people who see you every day do not always see the transformation and I don't always myself either so for someone to actually notice and stop mid conversation to bring it up is nice.
I still have a long ways to go but I am working on it and I have a new fav moto of "Go Earn It" cause that is what I am doing. I ran into a company at the fitness show and that is what they are all about and it makes so much sense.
Thanks to my MFP friends who support me daily even though they do not always realize it.

Huge Congrats on your multiple NSV's! Your daily MFP's must be great folks! To help with not seeing it, take pics from front, side, and maybe zoom into your face. One thing I wish I would have done but I never expected to be at this over a year later. Possibly take the pics the same day each month so you can compare. Or you could always do measurments. We are always our worse critics.

Great job and cant wait to see your next post, "I just hit my next goal...Part 2"

SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I'm still waiting for someone to stop mid-sentence and ask me if I've lost weight. Of course, I told NO ONE I was trying to get healthy (except hubby) so it will be interesting to see if anyone does notice.

I started feeling bad around 25 lbs lost and no one said anything, then I stopped myself and said 'But I FEEL better, my clothes are starting to get loose, I'm not as tired, I sometimes look forward to exercise', all these things are NSVs to me. And I'll take them over outside compliments any day!

Congrats on your progress and success! Keep up the good work!

JWB I do not get many people asking or noticing w/o me saying something. Once again I had not seen this kid in over 4 months so it has been a while. My hubby doesn't even say anything but once again I see them everyday so there is not such a wow factor.
Free I took a start pic and really should have taken my 1 month pic already but my computer is not working right now so I can't upload it anyways. I will have hubby do the pics soon though. I want them in the same outfit as well. I took belly pics when preggo with the kids and loved taking them....i kind of dread these pics but I know I will like looking at them later down the road.
