NSV: Don't have to buy a new dress

cavewoman15

8 weeks ago I realized I had a wedding coming up and my 'wear to weddings' dress from last summer didn't fit. A new dress wasn't in the budget, and I love this dress! Today is the wedding, and 15 pounds later the dress fits!

25 more pounds to goal, but this is a good NSV to keep me motivated. I love when budget and health goals align

YAY!!! Congratulations!!
I have bins of smaller clothes, and since I started MFP, I get to go "shopping" in them once in a while.
I love my "new" skinnier clothes!!!!
Keep up the good work!!

i know what you mean. I told a co-worker (the one who told me about mfp) I had discovered a new clothing shop, i call it "My Closet". It's amazing - it's stocked with colors I like, and somehow items fit me that are smaller sizes than I was able to fit in just a few months ago.

thanks! i like this idea - perhaps i will 'go shopping' every 5 pounds or so, just to see what 'new' i can pull out of the old bins.
