Luv, I am so pleased you are doing so well.

Luv2Eat · 09-11-2012, 11:10 AM

Thank you, Cindy!

lowcarbinca · 09-11-2012, 12:51 PM

Got into my size 6 shorts today. Muffin topped, sad to say,

but wearable! Can't wait to see what another week brings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kissa · 09-11-2012, 01:20 PM

Nice!

I will have to retire my NYDJs. They look ridiculous.

I have a NSV today. I just gathered up all of my old diet books and donated them to Goodwill! Wow do I have a lot of open shelf space now! I feel like maybe I should have put little stickys in the front pages of the books suggesting JUDDD if the diet didn't work for them...

What an alarming idea! Hope I can do the same thing some months from now.

cici52 · 09-11-2012, 04:55 PM

Just went through 8 pages here. Am so inspired. Feel like a million bucks. THanks for all your NSVs. Looking forward to the day I can add some of my own.

I know!!! I never would have thought that I would be giving those away, but so far I am not missing them.
I really should have put the link to this forum in them. Might have even helped if it was for the low carb books...

Kissa....that's just awful! Now you must go shopping. Poor thing!!!

Oh yes. I have goats and make goat milk products. And I have lost 32 pounds on JUDDD and still working on my last 8 pounds.

Kissa · 09-12-2012, 08:17 AM

how well you know me Phyl. I am proud to tell you that a new, smaller (and cheaper) pair of jeans are now in my wardrobe. I'm not one to let the grass grow under my feet.

lowcarbinca · 09-14-2012, 06:55 AM

My used-to-be-favorite capris? I'm wearing them today, with NO MUFFIN TOP!!!! WOOT!

KeirasMom · 09-14-2012, 08:15 AM

I cut my hair really short (even shorter than my avatar!). I know that sounds like a weird NSV, but it's because I actually have some definition in my face and my neck appears much longer and more graceful than it has in several years. I'm getting lots of compliments on it, so I guess it's cute, and SO easy to do!

Kissa · 09-14-2012, 10:27 AM

How delightful, I love 'elphin' hairdos, although I have never had one myself. Glad you are enjoying it Dawn.

I managed a Zumba class today after almost 4 months of nurturing my one.. so far, so good!

gotitnow · 09-15-2012, 12:10 AM

Dawn...I bet your hair is adorable! You have the face for it. I too cut my hair really short. Shorter than my avitar, too. Even a little "spikey" when I feel like being a bit "edgy." Didn't feel nervy enough before losing weight. It's fun and sooooo easy! Ain't it great? So fun!

Need new pics!!!

Kissa...wish I could make myself do Zumba! Doing good to get a walk in lately!

Phyl

gotsomeold · 09-15-2012, 04:13 AM

Dawn you have phenomenal bone structure! Super short hair must really show that off and look maaaahvelous! Do we get a new avi to enjoy?

Phyl, you raise a very good NSV.

When I started out, I just wanted clothes to fit and hide the bulges, I just wanted my hair to be easy to maintain. Now it is fun to try on different styles, go to my knees laughing at how terrible some of them look on me, and just stare in the mirror with joy at others. I am morphing from "is it comfortable? does it cover adequately?" into the semi-fashionista I used to be.

Alcestis · 09-15-2012, 04:18 AM

Dawn, I know just what you mean. I finally got my hair cut short again yesterday for the same reason, and I feel amaaaaazing! Phyl, I know what you mean too -I think I'll be going edgy today

Carly · 09-15-2012, 07:35 AM

That will be a NSV for me I don't have the thin face yet to cut my hair too short, but I'll be excited for that to be an option!

and all my jb's, new and old.

I don't have the time to spend on the board like I used to, but I do think of you guys and pop in now and then. I wish I could respond to each post like I used to, but I can't. I do cheer you all on!

I'm still maintaining. KUTGW my pals!

calichris · 09-15-2012, 09:40 PM

After two months, I finally had an energy surge down day! I worked all day on grading and around the house and was sharp and focused and really hardly hungry. whoo hoo!

gotsomeold · 09-16-2012, 12:24 AM

Bravo Christina!

May this good DD be the first of many, many more!!

Kissa · 09-16-2012, 11:51 AM

My NSV this morning is the realization that with all the benefits of JUDDD, it does NOT help improve my memory. In fact I think it is making it worse.

I went shopping yesterday at Kohls and they were having some great clearance so I was browsing and finding some nice stuff until I realized that everything I picked out was 16's and 18's. The problem is I had momentarily forgotten that JUDDD has put me in 12's and those are even gettting loose. It didn't even occur to me for 30 minutes that I couldn't shop in the "women's" department anymore as all the clothes are too big and I had to hang my head and seek out the normal size section. So huge waste of time but totally worth that moment when I realized "oh, you're not 200+ pounds anymore"

Now if only my mind can catch up with my body

shirlc · 09-19-2012, 08:07 AM

Elise...good for you...this is awesome!!!

KeirasMom · 09-19-2012, 08:23 AM

WTG Elise!

I finally made it to my local thrift store on Sunday and specifically went in for some 12s as my 14s are getting just a tiny bit roomy and I have nothing smaller. I found 2 skirts and 2 pairs of pants (one of the skirts fits and the rest of the items I have to "lose" into). Then I found a cute blouse and got it without even thinking about the fact that it's an XL. When I tried it on at home, I realized it's way to big to use as a blouse. Thankfully, it's sueded material with a satin lining and can also be used as a jacket over something else. So even though I specifically went in for smaller clothing, I too came out with something too big! Thankfully, my 5 items cost less than $10.00!

Carly · 09-19-2012, 09:18 AM

Yay Elise and Dawn! We are all just shrinking!

Awesome!!!
I put on a cute button-up shirt that I haven't worn in a while because my hips made it kind of tight at the bottom - and it fit fine! I can't believe how fast JUDDD has whittled down my waist and hips/thighs/bottom! Huge difference!

Carly · 09-19-2012, 12:19 PM

Yay! JUDDD has magical reshaping qualities as far as I'm concerned. Even when the scale is not really moving I'm being reshaped!
