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!"

great job newday. still a loss, half inch. take any loss you get. Next week will be better, always is after a 0 I find. Great job!

Thanks, I needed that!!

NSV: I spent the morning reading and responding to these posts and forgot to eat the breakfast that was sitting right next to me!!!

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!!

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!

Very Impressive; that is so cool!

Yeah to those beautifully shaped collar bones!

the clothes fitting better is awesome!

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.
