:canada: Lets keep this thread alive, fellow Canucks!!!:canada:

My recent NSV......My husband says I no longer snore!!!:biggrin1:

I dug deep into the archives to resurrect this thread. I did this because I noticed today that the jeans that I had managed to get into a couple of months ago are now loosey-goosey in the waist! This is the place where I take the longest to lose weight because I have always been thick-waisted even when I was thin. I think that it may finally be time for me to go shopping, eh. It's funny but I am feeling kind of nervous about this.

Congrats green! I've been wanting to resurrect this one too!

What does thick waisted mean? Aren't we all?

Hmmmm... NSV's for me:

- all the 'you look great's this week have been awesome

- I'm wearing a green, zip-up hoody that I bought when I was 15 (didn't wear for long, but I kept because I liked it and always wanted to fit it again)

- no longer in the 2_ sizes!

- I've grabbed a little wall mirror in our bathroom to check out my ass, more than a couple times!

- that 'fat hunch' on the back of my neck that I was happy to see disappearing last time I posted here is gone!

- I hear 'you're to bone-y" from Dan alot... and I feel them alot.

- sit-ups on the floor are very painful, so I have to fold the mat into so my tail bone doesn't dig into the floor. (ie: less butt, closer to floor!)

- for the first time since we've been together (almost 4 years), I let him pick me up, and now he does it all the time. And I'm not worried about hurting him. When he used to do it before, I'd do what 5 yr olds do, go all limp, so he couldn't grab me!

- I had a picture taken of myself, and actually gave it to other people... almost like I was ok with how I looked!!

- I caught myself RUNNING down the hallway of my apartment when I realized I forgot my laundry in the dryer for longer than its supposed to be :omg:

- I've been tempted to run on the treadmill at the gym. I turned the speed up a few times, did a little trot. (decided I look too dumb running, and stopped pretty quick)

I'm sure I've got more. Will add later !

That's a fine bunch o NSVs ya got there, grrl! Congratulations from Green.

Congrats everyone!

I am more social and comfortable in crowds than I was a month ago.

Hi Ladies,

I went shopping for me today. I was nervous and excited at the same time. I think my NSV is that I'm comfortable in fitted tops now and I went to regular stores - not Penningtons or the Plus size department. I gained 3 lbs over Christmas but if I watch myself I know that I will lose that again. food is not my comfort - I still crave sweets but I'm satisfied with a "taste".

This thread is awesome. Thanks for reviving it - inspirational! You guys are the best. Best wishes for continued success, better health and more wealth in 2007!

Ooh, tres cool. I can't do fitted. Bravo for you, girl.

Well done everyone!!!

:clap2: :clap2:

I can't fathom being "satisfied with just a taste". Is that really going to happen???

Good question. I think it truly does happen for some people. I can only speak from MY experience. I can't honestly say that I'm 100% satisfied with a "small taste". God knows I WANT more (hence the not 100% satisfaction) but I "know" I can't have more. I know physically I can't....so I stop before I get to the point of being reminded that I can't physically have more than the little taste.

It really pisses me off sometimes. BUT I wouldn't have it any other way!

....in other words....no regrets!

Here's mine.

To stop having to apply a strip of duct tape to the zippers on my pants so that my gut doesn't bust out cause a scene.

I too, have that fat hunchy thing on my neck and when I go for a massage, someone always says "you should have that looked at...something doesn't seem right." Well, stop poking at it for chrisss sake.

And here is a stretch for me..walk the dogs in daylight without worry about car loads of teens verbally attacking me because of my size. Yes, it's happened (more than once). I've allowed this fear to dictate when I go out for walks and I have to take back control of this situation.

Wow!!! Great NSV's!!! We Rock, Eh????

Angel Bear, I also went up a couple pounds, pales in comparison to last year, though. I'm not worried, once tommorow night is over everything holidayish is going in the garbage. I actually CAN'T WAIT!!!

You will actually find yourself eating much less than before. I find myself leaving food on plates in restaurants now. Before I used to hoover everything up.:hungry:

May all your wishes come true....and they will!

Yes Cloe Mr loriely and i were bad with chocolates and junk .I am probably up a few pounds oh well. I wished i had the pbs with the chocolates then i would have stopped. I had no willpower. I could kick myself in the butt.
