WI sucked, 0 down but...1/2 in off waist, so that's kinda good considering...got through the week from heck, (TOM, DD in hospital, constipated) going to soak in the tub, go to bed early and just look forward to tomorrow.
The victory in all this is that I never thought of going off program, ever. I reached for water, tea, an extra pack, or few oz of lean meat. Something has clicked...

I love this thread!

Some of my favourite NSVs:

My mantra for this diet is that I spent 45yrs eating what ever I want, and I enjoyed it. Now it is time to sacrifice for my health and to be there for my family. As a result when the family decides they want McDs take out I VOLUNTEER to pick it up. So far no cheats! It is like my personal penance to drive home with the smell of Big Macs then happily eat my grilled veggies and turkey!

Making the jump from Mark's Work Warehouse (this could be only a Canadian Store!) to Old Navy!! Even my US friends will get the gist of this. 38" jeans look a heck of a lot better than 44"s on me!

For me the compliments started at about 30lbs gone! Call me vain but dammit I like the "congrats!" and "wows!"

The 16s were a little hard to get on over the hips but I did it, and then I realized they were buttoned and zipped!

they were too big as well. Looked like I was swimming in them. I ended up trying on the 14s and they fit very well. Not snug in the least bit. I was so excited! Then I put them back on the shelf and walked out.

I have so many clothes at home and still have 69 pounds to go, so I wasn't going to spend $30 on jeans I would wear for a few weeks. :)

From a size 26 to a 14. Wow. Can't wait to say from a 26 to a 6 LMAO.

Wow, that must have been a great feeling! Congrats :)

Bump....................
And I fit into my smallest pair of ski pants and ski jacket. This is great news since I'm currently at Whistler BC, Candada and may go skiing with my DH and my Father-n-law. Yeah! Jen

I had my weigh in and measurements done... I've lost about an inch and a half everywhere (except shoulders & bust- still went down there though) and 3 inches in my thighs!

WTG - Great NSV! Don't you love having your clothes fit looser/better?

Here is a funny NSV:

When I was about 18 I had an appendix attack and had to have it removed.

I was looking in the mirror at my new and improved gut and realized that for the first time in about 20 yrs my appendix scar is visible without any aid! i.e. I don't have to lift my beer belly to see it. Funny thing is I had never thought about the scar (out of sight out of mind) and now it stares me in the face every morning because of my flat(er) belly!!:D

Met a referral for coffee this morning. Neither of us had ever met and could not put our finger on eachothers cell numbers. After about 30 minutes of squirming a young gentleman approaches me holding an iPhone. "Are you Scott?" Yes Jason glad to meet you."He turns the phone and shows my my LinkedIn profile picture and states, "you must take a new picture! How old is this one?" "6 months". Turns phone around looks for a long moment, "so how much weight have you lost?" Best thing to happen in a few days.

I'm pretty certain that I saw a collar bone quite plainly! Woot! :dancer:

Was at a family gathering this Easter with some folks I haven't seen for a year, when I was at my heaviest. One of them didn't recognize me... I heard her asking her sister 'Who's that?'!! LOL. And I had a whole lot of questions from envious overweight relatives about how I had lost the 60+ lbs. :) Plus I just realized I now fit perfectly into my absolutely 'skinniest' pair of jeans... black with black embossed embroidery on them. Just in time for spring/summer. :)
