What's Your Most Recent NSV

I'm going shopping for jeans for the first time at a non Big and Tall store for the first time in over 13 years. Down 116 since Feb.24 2022.

My wife and I attended a wedding out of state over the weekend. When I checked into the hotel, I handed the night manager my ID. He took a look at it, then a second look and said "It looks like you've lost some weight since this picture was taken."

I was very happy this last spring when my license expired. The DVS clerk said I could just use the same picture, and I told the her I had earned a new one! She then told me my current weight was her goal weight. Nice.

Finally hitting my stride with strength training.
Dropped a shirt size.
I think even my shoes are fitting looser.

And the scale tells me I've only lost 3 pounds.

@Slackpacker your body will be holding onto a lot of water if you have recently started lifting/upped your lifting game, so don’t panic!

I have had my weight off, 40 lbs for four years now so no one mentions it any more. Today I got 2 compliments. I was at a meeting and a lady said I can tell you go to the gym, you look so fit! Then at the gym a lady was talking about her friend and said she looks a lot like you, she is really small. Wow that felt good being called small. She was bigger but it felt good anyway!

My NSV is, I'm not logging 100 percent of the time anymore. We eat a lot of home cooked meals here and sometimes, those are the hardest to log. But I am still losing weight! I can have a full day of cleaning the house and walking the dogs and making meals and know when I can afford a few more calories. My husband likes cheese and crackers as a snack before bed. Last night I knew I earned it so I had some too. This morning, I am down almost a pound compared to a few days ago. 173.8...I'm inching towards that 169 mark. I have noticed that there are stretches that I don't lose for awhile and then stretches where it falls right off and I'm okay with this.

You know the paper towel effect? Basically the closer you get to your ideal weight, the more dramatic a difference you see with a few pounds lost. That’s my NSV, I’m closer to the cardboard roll than I’ve been and my body is changing rapidly. It’s cool to witness.

I got rid of a bunch of clothes today, and I tell my husband I only need a few filler pieces until my weight stabilizes but he is soooo supportive.

He says “never apologize for needing new clothes, those are badges of honor, you’ve completely transformed your body and you’re alive now, you have a body today… you need clothes for this body. Buy what you need for this size body and buy some more later…“

And… I am just so happy to have my person be the person whose cheering the loudest for me.

I absolutely love this for you. Your husband sounds like an awesome partner in life. Congrats on needing new clothes and passing on the ones that no longer fit who you are.

Yesterday I had a huge portion of pasta (150g) with spinach and other things and I was full halfway through it, when previously it wasn't as padded out and I could eat 115g of pasta and still be hungry.

Today, I stayed within my goal and had veges before all of my meals so I wouldn't eat as much and I had heaps of water. Also walked the long way around the park to get more steps in then I usually would.
