  • We got family pictures back. These two shots are almost 11 months apart. Do I have a ton of work ahead of me? Of course. But it's pretty dang nice to take a minute and recognize that I'm a lot closer to my goal than I used to be.
  • I'm back on the wagon! I actually lost 47 pounds since the end of February, but then gained 6 or 7 back in the past 6 weeks. I'm still another 50 pounds away from my goal, but I have some NSVs to share! This week I have... A) been under my calorie goal every day; B) worked out every day; C) made plans to start a heavy…
  • To be down 50 pounds by my anniversary on August 22nd. As of last Friday I'm still 8 pounds away. If I make my goal I'm going to reward myself with a LuLaRoe Amelia.
  • My current favorite is orange/strawberry.
  • Congrats! That was my first goal too. I hit it last week but I have a LOT more to lose than you. Well done!
  • Wow. That's amazing and truly inspiring. I hope I can post something like this some day. You are awesome!
  • Before and during. My husband took the pic on the right yesterday and it was the first time I really saw the progress.
  • I use a prescription toothpaste at night. I can't eat or drink anything for 20 minutes after using it. So my tip is to brush my teeth as soon as I complete my diary entry on MFP for the day. That helps ward off late-night snack cravings.
  • You look amazing! Congratulations. I've been on my weight loss journey about 7 weeks now and I read MFP "success stories" every day. It's posts like yours that keeps me chugging along. Cheers!
  • Thank you for sharing your story. I was diagnosed with PCOS in November. I finally had a consultation with an endocrinologist in February who straight-up told me that none of my symptoms would improve unless I lost weight. I started that day (February 18th) and am now down 24 pounds, but I'm still around 70 away from my…
  • I have PCOS and have a patch of brown skin on my neck. I was told it's a byproduct of insulin resistance.
  • Going shopping in my own closet. I wore a dress to church today that I haven't been able to wear in years. I kept checking myself out in the mirror, thinking, "Does this really fit?!?" My husband said, "Now THAT'S an NSV!" (which is hilarious because he didn't know what an NSV was a month ago).
  • I'm in Indiana too. New to MFP. I'm not sure I grasp the "friending" concept, but feel free to add me. I'm down 20 pounds shooting for 60-70 more.
  • New here, but I love this thread! I've been savoring it slowly for weeks now. I'm on page 239 now and decided it was time to share a couple NSVs of my own!. 1. My husband, sister, and I went to a play yesterday. Between the parking garage and the nosebleed seats we climbed and descended seven flights of stairs instead of…
  • My husband and I agreed on a shopping spree for new (smaller) clothes when I hit 30 pound loss. I'm more than halfway there! Shooting for June 1st.
  • I drink so much more water since getting a fruit infuser pitcher for Christmas. They're about $20 at Target. My current favorite combo is strawberry/clementine. Yummmm.
