When I met FH, I was about 196 but reached 200/high 190s during the course of our first year together. Being already 5'9, I was pretty tall for a lady so the added weight made me look like a linebacker. He is 6'0/6'1 and 155ish so he is a stick. Looking at pictures of us together, I would automatically think "oh gosh, it looks like I am going to eat him." But this past weekend we had pictures taken together and I looked almost as small as he did even though I'm still 20 pounds heavier. I think it is what I was wearing and how I carry my weight in general. To me, we looked like an adorable couple. It made me feel REALLY good

Congratulations! That is very sweet

btw, what's NSV? I see it often on the board but don't know what it means

[thinnerthanhim]

I asked the exact same thing! It stands for Non-Scale Victory. It is anything that you notice about yourself that doesn't have anything to do with the scale. (new clothing size, compliments, etc.)

btw, i'll post a picture when i figure out how to.

Yay! My boyfriend is super tiny! He's about my height and weighs about 60 lbs less than me at the moment. Oh well.. it's better than nearly 100! I always hated going out because I didn't want to be judged. I can't wait for the day when I don't feel so huge next to him even though I know that I will never be able to get down to his current weight.

Awesome NSV!

I know how you feel. While I'm a foot shorter than my fiancee, I did weigh more than him for a good chunk of our relationship (he was underweight, I was obese). He's since gained a whole lot of muscle weight and I've lost. I'm about 40-50 pounds lighter than him now and I really love it He picks me up a lot more.

Yay! I'm so happy for you!
