A fantastic NSV, Carly, it sounds almost surreal

And WTG Sara. Really, smaller jeans are just the most satisfying buy

cici52 · 12-16-2012, 09:22 AM

Oh, my so many great NSVs! Congratulations to all.

I can hardly believe I actually have one myself today. Pulled out a ring that I usually wear on my pinky and it now fits my ring finger.

Yay Cici!

Haven't lost a pound in over a month...guess the bod is adapting, again, sigh...but yesterday decided the large underwear was just too large in the legs and pulled out the smaller size which I had bought some time ago. And, they fit. I guess something is happening. I'm not too disappointed in no weight loss as it's happened before and I'm anticipating the whoosh fairy arriving after the first of the year.

Hope you're enjoying your NSV's and the holiday season...

My agency holiday party was last night- This involves 2 NSVs: 1) I had 2 UDs in a row and didn't freak out. 2) I saw some co-workers that I have not seen since losing most of the weight. About 3 people walked by me and never realized the whole night that it was me or by the time they realized it was too akward for them to come back over. A whole bunch of co-workers initially looked at me- like who is that and then started with "Oh my G_d! You look amazing" or "Wow! What have you been doing to lose that weight!" It was one fun evening!

I love this! People walking by you and not even realizing it was you! That is just spectacular!

I started with a loose size 14 and the past few weeks have been in size 12. My goal is to end up in a size 8 so I'm well on my way

Congrats on the size tens. And those size 8's are just waiting to jump on you.

Cici, so glad you have a NSV. Isn't amazing we lose weight in our fingers and feet?

I love when it comes time to get smaller drawers! Mine were looking like diapers. Here's to smaller undies that fit!!

Eieio · 12-16-2012, 12:37 PM

All I want for Xmas is smaller drawers?
Hey count me in please!
Happy for u Carly!

LoCarbGal · 12-17-2012, 11:16 AM

YAY Sara! Size 10s - WOW! Go girl!

YAY Cici! Rings moving up the fingers! It really IS amazing how we can have fat fingers and feet!

YAY Mary! Smaller undies makes everything better!

My NSV for today is that my coat is WAY too big. Last year I could just button it, and now there's lots of room in there! I'm not getting a new one this year though. I'll just have to float in it for this winter. It's a thigh-length "pleather" coat. I wouldn't spend the money on real leather in such an ugly, huge size. Next year, hopefully, I'll be back in my size small, honest-to-goodness leather jacket that I loved so much, and haven't worn in several years.

Happy floating LCG!

TMI: Please don't read if you're sensitive.

My bf said yesterday as we were driving up to our house, "I want you to put on that thongs (haha, they don't even know how to pronounce it) I bought you and walk around the house."

What am I going to do when I am actually slim enough (in my eyes) to be parading around in skimpy lingerie!

My DH still tells me that he loves me no matter my size. BUT, he is really liking the smaller me! How can u not love him for that?!

LG, put those thongs on & strut yer stuff!! lol!!

Kissa · 12-18-2012, 02:58 AM

My husband said 'Slim Cin' this morning as I fell out of bed to start the day. His highest accolade!

Yay for thongs and rolling out of bed being slim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first NSV that I can vividly point as being a NSV - this morning I got breakfast at work, on my UD. The cook that's normally there wasn't today but I ordered my usual. It didn't taste right. It wasn't bad, just.. Not what I wanted. Normally I would have eaten it anyway and continued to be unsatisfied. Instead I decided not to waste the calories.

I find myself making better, healthier choices all the time now. Not because I 'have' to but because I want to. This is unheard of for me. The 'no food is restricted' mind frame is soooo beneficial to me. I'm constantly telling myself 'tomorrow'. Tomorrow ill have that. Tomorrow I won't have to worry about food. It takes all the stress out of it for me.

I know it's only been 2 weeks but its been the easiest 2 weeks on a diet I've ever had. I usually forget I AM on a diet. I almost forgot to weigh several times this week. This is just my life now. I couldn't be happier.

Kissa · 12-18-2012, 06:14 AM

Lumina it is lovely to see that you and JUDDD are getting along so well. Great losses and a great NSV.

LoCarbGal · 12-18-2012, 06:26 AM

Cindy, what a lovely man to make that comment, and lovely that it's true - you are!]

Lumina, that's a great realization that you don't have to eat something if you don't enjoy it. You're doing just great!
