    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? Lol

    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.

    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.

    Interesting one. I ate SAD for about 10 days during my holidays and my face was like a PIZZA when I got back. Acne was back sooooo bad. A week on LCHF and it's almost back to clear. My body does NOT like carbs it seems

    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.

    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!!!

    LOL This!

    I need to go underwear shopping because everything is getting baggy and bunched up.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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
