That is definitely a win!6 -

Thank you. The only thing I could come up with New Standard Version (bible) and that was completely out of context.

So now that I know what an NSV is, I had one this past Saturday. I had enough energy and strength to assemble a five shelf bookcase. Haven't had that for some time.25

@fireytiger , I think you're going to need a belt...!
What is it you don't like about them? I found that I hated the way the buckle on mine made my belly appear to stick out even further than it already does! (I don't tuck my shirts in so they hang over the top of the buckle and bulge out.)
I solved that by buying one of those men's belts that have a "clip" fastening - not sure what you call it - that lays quite flat. It's fully adjustable too, no holes, so I can get it exactly where I need it to be and easily adjust it when sitting or standing if it's too tight/loose.
If you still don't fancy that kind, what about threading a thin scarf or wide ribbon through the loops and tying that? (It would cause more bulk at the waist, though a ribbon shouldn't be too bad..)
Of course, now I've realised that my current pair of jeans are starting to feel loose (and like you I can't fit the next size down yet), I need a belt for them and this one is too wide! I had to go back to a buckle. :grumble:
(Found a picture of the belt style I'm trying to describe!)

Oh, and my own NSV today - my weight hasn't shifted for a couple of weeks (and in fact went up today), but my jeans are feeling looser and, as I mentioned above, I needed to find another belt. The only belt that fits these loops is one I haven't worn for at least 3 years - I can only do it up on the second hole, but it does fit!
Second NSV is that, related to the above lack of pounds lost, I'm not getting discouraged (not too much, anyway) and have no intention of giving up. I'm going to keep at it - no comfort eating!13 -

This thing is a lifesaver for me when in between sizes (which I always am since my waist is smaller than my large(r) thighs). Even if my pants fit, I'll sometime wear it to smooth out the button area if i'm wearing a slim fitting shirt.

Interesting - thanks! How does it actually fasten? I can't quite figure that out from the pictures and reviews!-1 -
lol, was running late to work this morning and quickly took a dress out of my closet that I had bought about two years ago to save for when I became small enough to fit. At the time I bought it I could barely slip it on and had to have the back zip all the way down. Well, because I was in such a rush, I took it off the hanger and without even drawing the zip pulled it over my head all the way down in one swoop, and my, it fit beautifully. The funny thing is it wasn't until a few minutes later stuck in the long traffic that I remembered why I never wore the dress...I had a huge smile all the way to work 28

I wore a 2 piece training suit to the pool yesterday for the first time in about 3 years!10

I did that 250lbs for 25 reps deadlift challenge, then finished up with 12 sets of 5 at 315lbs Jefferson lifts. Nice back workout.15

Hit 190lbs
Starting to see lines (not as much as I hoped)
Still waiting to see ribs!13 -
I've been bigger than my mom since the 6th grade. Currently I live overseas and we were skyping about some clothes she wants to send me, so she asked me what size shirt I wear now. She could not believe it when I answered: size 6 US, 10 UK. "That's smaller than what I wear!!"
It was a huge NSV for me! She and I are best friends, but when it comes to weight loss she has sometimes pushed a bit too hard over the years. It was great to see the happiness in her face that said: "I'm so proud you did it!"....even if being thousands of miles away from her is probably one of the reasons why this time it worked 26 -
I was swatting at a mosquito on my arm a few minutes ago and felt nice definition in my upper arm when my hand rubbed it! I had no idea that had emerged!12

I now am terrible at being sedentary. I had a deliberately lazy day and still logged more than 14,000 steps today to my surprise. A year ago I had to fight to get 10,000 on any day.18

I bought a shirt last fall that was kinda tight, I gained weight in the winter and gave up on it. It fits perfectly now!13

Pressure! That little knob looking thing on top is a bar that goes down to the other side. When it's on one side, it puts enough pressure on the belt that it stays in place. When you slide it to the other side, it lessens the pressure so you can slide the belt to make it bigger or smaller.
Edit: this was supposed to be a response to the post asking how the belt worked. I think I quoted the wrong post. Oops!3 -
