SarahS 13 Posted April 19, 2011 I need to start keeping track of all my NSV's because I am having so many, and loving it!!! Last week I was at the grocery store at the end of my street, the one I have gone to for about 7 years now, and a woman that works there came up to me, and said, "WOW, you have lost so much weight!" That felt so awesome to have someone notice outside of friends/family. Then, I was at the pet store yesterday, and a lady who works there, that I haven't seen for a while, said the same thing as the lady at the grocery!!! At the pet store, I said, yah, I have lost SOME weight (LOL), 119 pounds. I went on to get my cat food, and the woman that was walking to the check out, I could hear her say, "did she just say she lost 119 pounnds??? That is amazing!". I got in line and that woman was still there and was like, that is great you lost so much weight, are you maintaining well now. When I told her I had 85 more to lose, she was like, NO WAY, haha. I have only gotten that response from friends/family, so it felt good hearing it from someone I didn't even know. I was just like, "well, you don't know what I weigh". I can see WHERE I can lose 85 or more pounds! Even if I lose that much more, I will still have a high normal BMI. Anyway, we will just see where I feel best. And then my last NSV to share, was inspired by someone on here that I saw just post a recent pic of themself in their "big" jeans. So, I went and got mine out, and could fit in to one leg as well!!! I tried to take pictures, but none turned out of me in one leg. But here are a few pics of me from today with my "big" jeans. The jeans are a size 32, and I am currenlty in a 20, even some 18/20's and my top is a 2X I just bought!!! AND, OMG! I am in shorts!!! Not an NSV, but a scale victory, that I needed to share. I finally broke my 3 week stall!!!! WOOHOOO. And, I lost 5 pounds this week. I offically weighed in at 250 pounds! So happy!!!! Here is a slide show of my journey from begining to now, in pictures, if anyone would like to take a look : http://smilebox.com/playBlog/4d6a51784d7a59324e6a673d0d0a&blogview=true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
