This is my favourite thread and I visit it whenever I need a reminder for why I need to keep sticking to it! Everyone's NSVs are amazing and inspiring.
My NSV is a week at the cottage (with my parents, kids and boyfriend - talk about emotionally charged!) and I managed to eat clean all week despite spaghetti, s'mores, potato chips, pop and many many other temptations. I also did a 7 kilometre walk (seems like it was mostly uphill!) which nearly killed me but I did it!0 -

I don't even need to return to SAD, sadly. My cystic acne flared up when I cheated a bit here and there. I don't think I ever exceeded 100g carbs in a single day (well, maybe once or twice, but still under 150), but my body didn't care.

I went to Kohl's last night to use a $15 reward that was expiring. I easily fit into a pair of 16 petite pants. It's been a long time since I've fit into petite sizing, as they tend to be slimmer than women's sizing. I was excited! But I didn't get them (because they cost more than I wanted to spend). Instead I bought new underwear 3 sizes smaller than my last underwear purchase. Win, win, win!!!0

Nice! I can't wait to shop for the next size down!0

Today I wore a pair of white cropped jeans to work, size 14, didn't think I'd be able to fit into them, but I did and it feels good! I felt almost like a normal sized person. I think I looked pretty good with a lacy size medium top. I'm getting smaller even though I haven't lost any more weight. Feels nice!1

That is awesome!
I know you have to be feeling good about all the work you have done. It sounds like you are doing some body recomposition too! Nice.
There is nothing that tastes as good as looking good feels.

3 sizes!!!!
Wow!!!!
I love Kohls. They have supplied almost all of my new wardrobe
Going from 44 to 32 waist pants has been a 100% rebuy of everything
The 70% off rack at an additional 20% off sale is my go to spot0 -
You guys are the best here on our little group ! Such amazing support ! It sure helps to hear from people who have experienced weight loss thrills for themselves. We can all relate to each other. It warms my heart.
I have almost run out of smaller clothes in my wardrobe, just one size smaller to go, then I will run out of clothes and have to buy all new !
@KittensMaster, the only body recomp that I have going on is strictly due to this WOE along with walking and yard work as exercise. Once I figure out what else I could do to tone up, I do plan to exercise more closer to my goal.0 -
Great NSV's! My closet is still full but the wardrobe is shrinking! I need to clean it out I guess. I think I'm going to have some major issues when I pull out my fall/winter clothes I have packed away. I don't have the extra funds to buy new clothes right now.
Would having to dress like a bum wearing clothes 3+ sizes too big be considered an NSV? Lol0 -

I don't know, but I'm at that point. I have brand new shirts I bought this Spring that look so frumpy now! But I still have too much around the middle to be comfortable in my old shirts from before my last three pregnancies. I have worn a couple of them, but most are still a bit too tight and short for my liking. The pants from back then are fitting me, though. Those babies left a lot of pudge around my tummy.0 -
My NSV
I bought this belt when it was still too small. I planned to shrink in to it.
It was a 36 and I was a 40 or something like that.
It on the last hole now.
Slow patient progress. No crazy diets. No starvation. Just sensible low carb eating.

Glad things are recovering. It can be good to realize just how much LCHF does for us that carbs have turned on our bodies in a bad way.

I love my sweatshirt big and roomy. But my arms must have got shorter they don't stick out the sleeves any more.

Ha ha ha, yeah, me too! I have to make sure it doesn't stick out the top of whatever pants I'm wearing.
I can finally do real push ups. Did six in a row last night, followed by ten knee push-ups.

Do women not get boxer briefs?
Those have some elastic and adapt to one weight loss.
I have seen boy shorts. Not sure if those are common everyday wear or just date night.
Lol!!!

Boy shorts are great for young girls or women who have straight-ish hips. Not so great for curvy hip ladies! I will probably never wear them.

Boy shorts = wedgie city for a curvy figure! Lol
I need some new drawers too. Lol
Many women buy cotton undies because they are more comfy and airy... But they are limited in stretch/shrink to work well while losing weight.0 -
When I posted about being worried about shrinking out of my clothes, someone added this comment: (Sorry in advance to the men, if it offends)
Also get thee to ROSS and TJ Max (for sale sales on new bras and exercise stuff), also give Target a go (sometimes they have great $5-$10 basics and clearance items), and the thrift store in a nice neighborhood ($1-$5 jackets, dresses, skirts, and jeans are what I find in the best condition), and for free panties sign up for all of Victoria Secret's mail (they'll send roughly 1 free panty card every month to every other month which is 6-12 pairs of free panties per year plus a $10 birthday gift good for one more pair of free panties or half off a bra on sale). Now go forth and look fabulous for cheap! Also best of luck dear!0 -

I have had to buy every single thing again
I love hearing where things are on sale
I am an office professional and clothes are not cheap. Gotta buy "dress up" clothes for work and then, casual and gym wear.
I go for all the 70% off I can find!
I really don't think many men are offended at panties and bras. Unless they are maximum security types you can't undo.

I have a face now, not just a marshmallow on the end of my neck.
Minties82, I am new to the group, but when reading up on posts, I was so inspired by your new photo.... absolutely beautiful both of you and your complexion is AMAZING...I can only hope going LCHF can do that for me!! great NSV!!0 -
Last pair of jeans I bought were size 20. So today I was in a hurry and grabbed jeans from my closet. Put them on and thought, oh crap these feel a little tight. Took them off and they were size 14. Woooooooooohoooooooooooo

Those won't work with my short shorts that I can now fit back into.
