I agree! I’m now able to do this, and every time, I am giddy. I don’t think I realized that I wasn’t able to do this before…. I just didn’t try. Not now that I can do it, I realize how long I had gone without being able to.

Agree! I’ve recently been able to do this, and it makes me so happy!

@springlering62 - haha, that’s a great story! I have panic attacks when I go for my annual mammo. I’m going to try thinking of your story, instead!

NSV for today… after losing 38 lbs, TODAY, people finally noticed. Several people. And it felt great receiving all that positive reinforcement from close friends. I don’t know why that’s so important to me, but I’ve been kind of bummed that no one had noticed…. Today made up for all of that. 😋

Way to go, @takinitalloff !

My recent NSV was yesterday. I put on a fun pair of grey jeans that I hadn’t worn in while. They had been too snug. I wore them all day yesterday, and had to keep pulling them up, as they felt like they were falling off. End of the day, I took them off WITHOUT UNBUTTONING/unzipping them. They sort of just slid off of me.…

Despite having lost 33 lbs, I haven’t had many people notice a difference (which is so weird because I’m 5ft3in and so one would think it was noticeable!) One of my brothers, who is a dear, saw me for the first time in a month. And because he’s too sweet to comment on weight, he said “wow- you look healthy, like you’re…

Good for you for working to take back control! I think you will find that starting slow, with your only expectation being to be accountable to yourself, will make you feel so good! Go, girl! 💕

WHOA! That’s amazing! Great job!

@Ll0ydD0bler - way to go!! That’s amazing!

This is probably a silly one, but I was able to put all of my laundry in the dryer. This is a victory because I used to have to hang up most of my tops to dry, so they wouldn’t shrink. All of my tips barely fit, and I was afraid of even the smallest amount of shrinkage. Now, everything fits or is too big, so I don’t have…

@giggitymallard - thanks for this post. I really needed to “hear” this today

I’ve been rather frustrated, because I’ve been stuck at the same weight for a week, despite checking all the requisite boxes. My NSV is that I’m not giving up. I know this is just a weird blip, and I’m sticking with logging, tracking, and exercise. Even though I’m rather annoyed. BTW, I do know that a week isn’t a long…

@kboh1 - WOW! Amazing and inspiring! I think you looked great in the first pic, but even better in the second! Congratulations!

You look beautiful! Strong, healthy and content! Way to go!

I attended a party this evening, where they served delicious food and wine. I really had to psych myself up to go, because I knew it would be a calorie challenge. Stuck to 1/2 glass of wine, and only raw veggies from the food table! This was a HUGE win for me, as the food they served was some of my favorites. Yay me!

I’m focusing on losing 5.5 Lbs by my birthday (late October). It feels more official writing it down here, so thanks!

My NSV is that I wore a really cute outfit to Mass & dinner last night - it’s one that I haven’t been able to fit into in several years. But didn’t have the heart to get rid of, since I loved it so much. The pants were actually a little bit too big, but not sloppy l, so I could wear them. It felt so good!

I really enjoyed reading this… and just noticed it’s from back in 2020! I wonder how you’re doing now (the original poster)! I love your writing style , and your post has given me lots to think about. Thank you for sharing!

@tech-hunter - great job!!

Well? Did you make it? I hope so!

Started on June 6. My first goal was to lose 20 lbs by Labor Day… met and exceeded that goal! Yippee! Next goal is a total of 30 lost by my birthday near the end of October. Thank you to everyone who posts here - these boards are so very helpful to me!

@takinitalloff - thanks for the tip! I couldn’t figure out how to do that! (Obviously!). Sometimes this app isn’t very intuitive to me. Btw, I love your posts, and read them regularly - they’re very helpful and inspirational !

#takinitalloff Good for you! That’s awesome! Like you, I’m waiting for someone to notice… I’ve lost 21 since June, but no one has noticed (or at least they haven’t said anything if they did notice)… hopefully my time will come soon, like yours did! My NSV today was wearing a new bra, that’s smaller in band and cup than…

I absolutely love your post! Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to write it. I relate to you on so many levels! I laughed out loud about the stupid judgy ladder, and felt your thanks to the Blessed Virgin deeply. In short “I laughed, I cried, it moved me, Bob!” (I’m taking the chance you will get this reference from…

I finally had an NSV! It’s a bit cool today, so I went to put on my jeans… THREE pairs of my jeans were too darn big! Like - sloppy big! I had to dig around to find my old/smaller jeans, and slipped them on easily! Wore them all day, and was quite comfortable in them! Yay! -19 lbs , since June 6. Thanks for listening to me…

Great job! Congrats!

#takinitalloff - that’s awesome! p.s.: I love your posts and how active you are on here! Thank you for sharing your journey, as it’s inspiring to me!

My mini goal right now is to lose 4.5 lbs to bring my total to 20 lbs lost. Hoping to achieve that by end of August, in time for my son’s Engagement Party.
