Although I have not lost a lot of weight but it is visible and my colleagues in the office have been asking me about it. I told them about the use of MFP and now couple of them today asked me to help them in getting started on MFP. Does this count as my NSV?

    What is NSV?? There are more acronyms on this site than I have ever seen anywhere before. Is there a dictionary somewhere????

    I've got my work colleagues, family, friends all using MFP.

    It's way better when you have a heap of people to keep an eye on.

    Now, when I get my phone out to kill some time, I check MFP before I check Facebook and my emails.

    Yes, it is a Non Scale Victory.
    To the op, that is wonderful! I have had several people at work ask me how I've been losing weight. I try to get them to try MFP, but so far, no one has wanted to.

    I myself only recently came to know about NSV, non-scale victory!! Then I thought why don't I post my NSV too:) It is always good if people around you start using MFP and then it is a healthy competition and positive discussions going on. This Saturday they are already planning to go on bike tour.....yikes I cannot cycle more than 40 minutes:)

    Yes it definitely counts and is also a way of cutting down the cakes/biscuits and other crap that gets brought into the office on a regular basis.

    Try getting everyone to chuck a couple of quid in and having a communal fruitbowl.

    P.S. 14 kgs is a great loss! Keep it up!

    A big NO to office cakes/biscuits and especially chocolates, every week we have something coming. Fruitbowl is a good idea actually:)

    Excellent! You're doing a great job for yourself and your colleagues. :-) I'll bet your workplace has a supportive atmosphere - your co-workers appreciated that you're getting yourself healthy & that they could do the same. Win all round! :happy:
