Thank goodness for juddd!!

This happened to me a few months ago. I had no idea anyone besides my hubby had noticed. This woman at work was someone I only said hello to in passing and never even had a real conversation with so it was very nice of her to say since she didn't even know me.

Yay Jacci!!!! It's so nice when people notice!!!

I've had a rough month so far and my weight loss has pretty much stalled. This morning i was up 1.5lbs and feeling pretty bleh. I usually dress up a bit for church, but decided to just wear jeans, a tank top and then i found a hot pink, light weight open front sweater at gw yesteday ($3.29 lol). Threw on some flats and called it good! I had 4 people come up to me and tell me how good i looked

And then the pastor's wife pulled my mil aside and said i looked amazing and wanted to know what i was doing! Note to self: wear jeans to church every week

It was a nice ego boost

What a morale booster!! Good for you! Just when you think you aren't doing enough, you find out you ARE!!!

I had breakfast with MIL and FIL yesterday. MIL noticed I was cold. She said it's because I don't have any more meat on my bones! FIL asked me to promise not to lose any more weight. Then they told me FIL's daughter and her DF are doing JUDDD and have lost a bit of weight. I discussed it with them at Thanksgiving. More converts!

[Zib]

Sara, what a cute outfit! And such a good day to have so many compliments!

Dawn, Sounds like maintenance is going well and nice to hear you are affecting others and bringing them into the fold.

Yesterday at e pool------- I swam half the distance of the Olympic size pool.
Without my legs helping me. I pulled myself thru the water with my arms.
Was so excited to do so. Sure gets the ol cardio running.
Also this am I tried on a old-old pair (red at one time) colored blues jean shorts.
I can wear them! Little snug in the bottom but hey, the waist is perfect!

Great NSV!!!

[sorenkkg]

These are great!

I'm not sure if this really counts, but I was using this as a motivating factor: I bought a groupon for a style consultation (sort of like the tv show "what not to wear" but without being yelled at) and I was hoping I'd lose enough weight before the session (expires in mid-march) so that I wouldn't be too embarassed, and also, that I'd have clothes to get rid of, etc.

I booked the session for March 2nd

I think I've been good about getting rid of stuff that's too big already, but it'll be fun to have someone help me pare down what I do have (volumes) and suggest some pieces to buy that I don't currently have (if that's even possible )

I'll share the tips with the JBs of course!

Great NSVs everyone! I just love reading these!

Mine is that I've gained 9 pounds during my aunt's weeklong visit (I was totally off JUDDD although I tried to eat during an 8ish hour window) but my clothes arent' fitting any differently. I hope, and have the feeling, that the weight will come off fairly quickly, especially since I'm trying the Potato Hack this week!

[Kissa]

Eieio that is a powerful NSV, strong lady.

Soren I am looking forward to all those tips, enjoy your day.

LCG glad you enjoyed the visit and equally glad that you are right back on track.

[Librarygirl]

Wonderful NSV's Everyone!!! I love to read this thread.

Woke up very late this morning, hopped in the shower and quickly got ready, when I went to get my clothes out of the closet, I picked the wrong pair of pants, I picked the size 12 gray pants that have not fit me since 2008, and they were tight. Bought them at JCP in a2003, and loved them because they fit so perfect. I realized I picke d up the wrong pants, and decided I would try them on, even at the risk of being late to work, and they fit! Perfectly !

[Flutter]

Tex, that is AWESOME!!!!! Size 12s, woohooo!!!! I am so ready for all my 12s to fit...hopefully soon!

[LoCarbGal]

Tex!

[Kissa]

Sher I love that, such a joy!

Hooray for Sher & size 12 pants!!

I hurried over here to post about my NSV today. I made a comment on the DD thread. Anyway, I had a doctor's appointment this morning for a regular check up. He had nothing but good things to say about my health......blood pressure, blood labs. He also said I can stop my arthritis medication today! I've stopped hurting in my foot where the arthritis has been so bad for so long! But, most of all, he is so impressed with my weight loss!! He said I could stop losing right now & he would be thrilled!! And he said when I asked for a weight recommendation that between 135-145 would be a good "bounce" territory! He wanted to know more about ADF. So, we had a nice chat & I left feeling like I was floating on air! Plus, their scales are a whole pound lighter than mine! He said "take it and claim it girl!!" But, since I use my scales on a daily basis, I'll continue to use mine.

I'm so close to goal I can smell it! After my UD yesterday I weighed 146.8 this morning, only up .8 from yesterday. I couldn't be happier!!

[tofucheez]

Shari4----great work!......and you've got one COOL doctor!
