We all look for it when we start on this journey of becoming healthy. The time someone who does not know what you are doing first mentions to you that you look different/good/thinner/like you been working out. That happened to me today at about 2 this afternoon when my boss said "dam dude you look like you just went to the gym and lifted weights". Everyone here knows what that means and what follows that. Many more people will be saying that to me soon and like a perpetual motion machine the motivation will start piling on.

w00t!!!!!!

Hell yeah!

It's my turn now!


9 days almost to the hour until I got that first "expected" NSV we all look for when we start on this journey. Years from now I know I will be saying "I was at work walking across the KIA showrrom when my boss....That is when I knew I was doing it right".

Does anyone else remember the who what when and where of that first time someone noticed a difference or am I just sentimental on this?

    I was changing one day and my daughter walked by my room and said "mommy your boobs are getting smaller" I chuckled and turned around to go to my dresser and she yells " mommy your butt is getting smaller too!!"

    Its nice when someone that you work with notices but its hysterical when its your 9 year old daughter!!!

    Great job by the way!!!

    great for you!! That is ALWAYS encouraging to keep on doing what we are doing if it is working. I've lost (and gained) enough weight in my life that I have experienced those moments of when someone noticed, and it feels great. I've been on this journey again since January and have lost about 26 lbs, so with my size it's not too noticable at the moment, although I am noticing I can wear smaller clothes now. :) I'm not too familiar with the "NSV" term. Don't want to appear dumb, but what does that mean? Keep up the good work!!

    It really feels amazing when someone mentions the difference.
    A couple of weeks ago my flatmate told me that my face looked really different! Now obviously, she knew that I'd been working out and counting calories but neither of us expected my face to change so much! Haha!
    Being flatmates we see each other come and go a lot, but we rarely sit face to face and get a good old chat, so I guess that's how she was able to see a big difference.

    Congrats! That is definitely a great feeling!

    My girlfriends said something about how good I look a few weeks ago, but I kinda shrugged it off. I think my girls might lie sometimes if it makes you feel better about yourself. But last week, my team at work went out to lunch. One of my managers, who knows I've been working on my weight, asked me how much I'd lost and that she was really able to see a difference. It was definitley a great ego boost!

    Excellent!

    I finally got my first one the other day. A friend of mine who hasn't seen me in about 8 months said, "Wow, you look tiny!" I didn't have a lot of weight to lose, but I'm still glad that at least one person noticed. =)

    I teach adult students at a trade school, and one of my super buff students (she is a yoga instructor) noticed how much I've lost and encouraged me to keep going. Its a wonderful feeling, when someone you know could wrestle you to the ground is proud of your accomplishments. Way to go on your NSV! Keep up the momentum.

    I had one this weekend. I ran into some acquaintances I haven't seen in 6-8 months and she said "WHAT are you doing?" At first I didn't know what she meant and just replied something like "not much what have you been up to". She then told me she was talking about what was I doing to lose weight that I look great. It felt good but was funny at the same time because I totally didn't go there in my mind when she asked me what I was doing. She then asked all about what/how I was eating and exercising because she wants to lose some weight. It really made me feel good.
