Well, today I went to get dressed and my size 18 jeans were falling off me so bad they looked terrible even cinched with a belt, so I grabbed another pair of jeans from the back of the closet and THEY DID UP. I looked afterwards and they are missy 12's!!! I can even sit in them:laugh:

Then when I was standing at the copier at work a co-worker came in and said "wow, you are wasting away, you look great!". I was shocked and stumbled a thank you. I mean I have lost 15 lbs but am still in the "obese" category at 191 lb and 5ft 2in, but this was definitely a great motivator!!!

I think that when we look in the mirror each day we don't always see the changes and these NSV's are a great reminder we are on the right track!!

    Congrats! It's very satisfying to be able to see that type of change. I was excited last weekend to find that the size 16 jeans I bought in January are loose at the waist and thighs. And each time I am able to tighten my belt an extra notch it's a win!

    Non Scale Victory - those little things that make you feel good, excluding the numbers on the scale! :smile:
