Ok, so maybe it's not a HUGE deal, but i am VERY excited!! I went to the store with my son, and we were walking out to the truck. Some young guys in a van started yelling "Hey man, hey ... hey guy" ... I turned around to find they were talking to me. They asked me if I remembered playing basketball with them (this would have been at least a year ago). On the way home from work one day, I saw some guys playing at the park, so I stopped and asked if an old man could play too. I ended up playing for a couple of hours with them, and evidently my game was somewhat memorable 
. Anyways, they asked if I was still playing, and I told them that I hadn't really played much since then. They both said, "well dang man, you are doing something because you have lost a LOT of weight" ... YES!! Two older teen guys that I DID NOT know NOTICED that I had lost weight ... AWESOME!! I guess going from 400+ to around 350 really is NOTICEABLE!! YAY!! I LOVE MFP!! thanks to ALL my mfp friends for encouraging me along this journey!!

Congrats Bigdaddy on your NSV, how wonderful!
BTW, never underestimate what giving of your time does for many youth! While you think back with some embarrassment they are looking back at an adult who CHOSE to spend time with them. To me, that is an even bigger NSV! Bless you for giving of yourself to these guys (even though it was a year ago!)0 -

Getting the recognition is great. I know for myself it is hard for me to see results because I have to look at it all day long. So when someone else sees it that means that all the hard work is paying off. Congratulations.0
