What's Your Most Recent NSV

I went out for dinner with my husband tonight. It was kind of impromptu, so hadn't been saving calories for it like I normally would. But the NSV is that I didn't freak out. I went, had a glass of wine, and had bread, an entree and a main. I tried to choose relatively healthy options, but didn't stress about it or over-analyse. I kind of just had what I wanted. And I skipped dessert because I realised I was full, not because "I shouldn't eat it". I didn't fully analyse and track my food - I just guesstimated calories and left it at that. So the NSV is that I feel like I can relax a little in my relationship with food now and then and not stress that it's going to start a massive downward spiral. That said, I'm about to jump on my bike and spin off some of dinner while I watch the telly...

I have one! I am not that far in my weight loss journey, but my dad brought home some junk food last night. One of those items was half a dozen donuts (in celebration of international donut day). Between him and my mom there are 2 donuts left out of the 6.. and I haven't touched one of them! I am pretty sure my family can do the favor of finishing them off for me :P

Almost cried in the dressing room today. I tried on a pair of shorts, pulled up, zipped up, looked up and did not recognize the body in the mirror. Where did that skinny person come from? The mind has not caught up to the body.

I've cried in the dressing room before. Sometimes weight loss is...overwhelming.

I was able to fit into a size 24 shorts and new jeans today at Macy's that I actually LOVE.

I also noticed my profile no longer has the "fake baby bumo" as I call it - basically always had the bump that stuck out beyond my pants causing me to look pregnant in my profile. It's now basically non existent and my confidence has skyrocketed!

Also this is the outfit I bought today and love it

You look adorable! Thanks for posting.

I put on shorts and went out in public.

I haven't posted anywhere on MFP before ( I do a lot of lurking though) but I was pretty pleased so I thought I would share. Yesterday was an annual picnic for a group I participate in at work. There are about 40 of us but only maybe half actually go to event so there are several that I don't see very often, if at all at work. I started my weight loss journey in November 2014 and have lost approximately 70 lbs so far (started at 280ish I think, but I didn't have a scale for the first week and a half, so it's a guestimate) and one of the guys that I don't see very often told me that he didn't recognize me when he first got to the picnic because I had lost so much weight.

At church on Sunday a nice snowbird lady in my class asked me how much weight I had lost, hadn't seen her since she came back.
Today I went to my husbands work to pick up a vehicle and one of the guys he works with said to him later, I don't want you to think any thing funny or get the wrong idea, but your wife looks really good, she's lost some weight.
It's really nice when I've lost enough for someone to finally notice, not that I'm doing it for anyone else, but it's finally noticeable. Just need to keep it up and get healthier and more active. Yea!!!!

Sorry, don't know how all that quoting happened.

Well i havent lost much.. just 6 kgs. (Though recently i have gained a few back) previosly when i went to for the walks i had to stop every 5 minutes for half a minute cause my feet used to pain and i thought its the shoe.. i gotta get that changed..given that i am not too heavy.. (85 kgs)..after i lost 6 kgs.. now i can walk a comfortable for 20 to 30 mnts..take just a few seconds break.. and walk for another half hr..feet pains very less..and in the same shoe..

I had a hearty helping of veggies with every meal today! Veggie and sausage scramble at breakfast, a nice green salad with lunch, and I'm about to chow down on a side of broccoli with dinner. I'm making a goal to have veggies with every meal for the next week.

I'm on the tightest notch on my belt, and yesterday when I jogged into the house to grab my purse quick, I had to pull up my jeans! It felt great!!

I was wearing a dress last week to a galadiner for business . Needed to wear tights and found I had only brought a size down from my usual ones. Tried them on and they fit comfortably!

My NSV for the weekend. On Saturday we had supper with friends. My friend was in the lounge and his wife was busy in the kitchen so i went to greet her there. The puts her hand around my waist and says "You are looking very good. Are you going to take your shirt off later and show us?" I almost died lol

I was able to zip up a pair of pants that are a size smaller this weekend! Three months ago, I couldn't even get them past my thighs.
