My first NSV - ever!

After years of dieting, trying to eat better, etc... I've lost a few pounds here and there, etc but never really had anything like an NSV without promting, etc.

Yesterday, a co worker asked how much weight I'd lost.. feeling kinda bad, I said only 6 lbs so far. She said to me that's great! And she thought it was more than 6, looking at me. So of course I blushed furiously and told her about MFP and that I am currently working on 30DS by Jillinan as well. She started to say she had something like MFP... and let it drop. I said how great the community and people are here and she started looking for the phone app. She got frustrated, miskey'ing something and made a point to ask me the name again. I told her, and she left still looking it over a few minutes later.
It may not sound like much, but she pointed out that since it was clearly working and the community is strong, that she was not just nodding her head and saying the typical "oh thats nice" kinda thing, etc. She was actually interested and hopefull that it could work for her. It made my evening. Heck, it made my week :) !!

    Congrats! That's fantastic. :)
  • That is awesome. And it is nice to inspire (even if you think it isn't much, it's still weighing less than you did before). Keep it up :)

    And let that feeling motivate you - know that not only are you making a difference in your life, you will also make a difference in someone else's life!!! :)
  • Good for you!

    Congrats! And remember that every bit counts! I forget this sometimes and find myself feeling disappointed. But I try not to let it last long! We work hard for this. I'm also doing the 30DS. I took a few weeks off because of some personal problems but I'm looking to jump back to level 2 on Monday! Add me if you want!

    I also recommend MFP to EVERYONE.
