Another little NSV. :) Pic included

I've gotten into the habit of measuring more frequently than I weigh myself (it's less depressing that way). This morning, the tape measure told me 27" on the waist (huzzah!), so I decided to try on a dress that's been living in my closet for the last couple of years. I had tried it on in the past, but the last time I was able to zip it all the way up was when I wore it in my friend's wedding in '09--after that, the zipper would make it past my waist, then get stuck at the upper part of my ribs. I figured it was a lost cause, and was planning to donate it.

I wasn't expecting it to fit properly today, either, but I put it on and ziiiiip--all the way to the top, and I didn't even have to yank at it. Man, that was an awesome feeling! And the last time that happened, I was 20 lbs. lighter than I am now, which is also a great feeling. Obviously, I need to pin the front if I decide to wear it in public, as it's a tad risque right now, lol. It's also a little tight around the waist, but the biggest victory is that it even fit at all!

Congrats.

I also have clothes in my wardrobe that I was contemplating donating but hubby talked me out of it and told me to donate the clothes in a bigger size instead (he did also suggest I wait until I no longer need them, I'm curious as to what he thought I would wear until I fit into my smaller clothes).

You look great, keep up the good work.

Aw I'm so happy for you!! Great work girl! That dress is so pretty too, glad you didn't get rid of it!

Thanks, all. I wasn't expecting to lose inches that quickly, so I'm curious to see where I'll end up when I get to my goal weight. I can't wait to see what other old clothes still fit!

Thanks! The best part is thinking of how much money I'll save once I can fit into some of my old stuff.

:bigsmile: You rock that dress it looks fantastic. Personally I wouldnt pin the front just walk those puppies with pride.

StatutoryGrape

Good point...I just wasn't sure how much boob is too much, and figured if I was even asking myself that question, the answer was "pin it." xD
