NSV - I'm actually learning something this time!

I started a medical weight loss program a couple weeks ago. Shakes, lots of them. Weekly meetings, weekly group exercise. This is seriously the first time I feel like I have the tools I need to succeed. Week 1, I lost 5.5 lbs. Week 2, I'm down 3 more lbs. This is with minimal exercise so I'm sure once I step that up I can do even better.
But here's the thing that I am most proud of. I'm making better choices than ever before. Reading more labels than ever before. Jenny Craig nor WW ever did this for me. Did you know that ONE Cheez-It is 6 calories? I can have an entire cup of lettuce for 6 calories.
My NSV - I put on a pair of jeans last week that haven't fit, well haven't fit properly, in nearly 3 years. And today I went to lunch with a colleague and kept lunch at under 200 calories! Salad, steamed veggies & roasted turkey breast. 170 calories, 21g protein and 5g carbs. I am just so excited that I'm making conscious choices. It also helps that I logged everything in MFP before I even started eating, just to make sure I was making good choices.

Good for you! I love the idea of logging and planning calories before I go out to eat as that is always a huge problem for me. I will definitely try that next time and hopefully make smarter menu choices like you!0
