Not all NSVs are good...

Most people would say this is good but it is damn annoying ..

My pants are constantly falling down. This was once an NSV for me because I'd never needed a belt before .. Buuttt, some of my work pants (which is what I wear almost everyday) don't have belt loops which means no belt.

I find it frustrating and am VERY self conscious about having to yank up my pants every time I feel them slip or get up from a chair - UGH!!

I know the solution - go buy new clothes but my whole plan was not to spend money during my "transition stage" and go wild once I hit goal weight!!! *end rant*

Thanks for the awesome thread And I'm so sorry to hear about your ring!! I stopped wearing mine due to the same fear..

I actually just had to do this. My pants are always too long, so my mom suggested taking a little fabric off the bottom and sewing on my own belt loops. This way, they match my pants and everything. I literally have zero extra income to buy new clothes, so this was a big help.

I've spent A LOT of money having to update my wardrobe over the last year - and I'll have to do it again next summer.

FREEZING!!! All the time!

This. I'm so freaking cold all the time

I lost favourite ring today! Damn, I knew it was getting loose... Anyone else with *annoying* NSVs?

i lost..i mean LOST my wedding ring about a year ago..it slipped right off my finger and disappeared..i think it fell into a backpack or something and was accidentally pulled out and fell on the floor at school by one of my kids

-Being cold! (my fingers mainly)
-Having to buy 3 different wardrobes on my way down the sizes
-I actually spend (waste) time trying on different clothes in shops to find out which i look the coolest in lol (used to be, yeah ill have that, i look same (fat) in everything)
-Skinny peoples clothes cost way too damn much
-oh and answering the questions, "wow how much you lost now? and "what did you weigh and what do you weigh now?" these were good NSVs that people noticed and took interest in my achievements, however after the 1000th time, it becomes abit of a gripe lol

all of these are nothing though.... cos i love been a skinny Stu

Go to the jewelry store and let them make your rings thighter. This is not expensive and the problem is solved.

in no particular order:
-butt hurts
-cold hands if I dont do cardio for a couple days,
-colder in general
-ring fits only in the middle finger, and yet it is still loose. sometimes I wear it on the index
-changed clothing a lot, though it is now stable, plus I was able to buy samples for a while

For those of you who don't want to remove your rings you can get things that will clip on and keep them tight until you get to your goal weight.

I bruise easier. I mean, I used to bruise easy anyways, but now, they get awful. I hope it evens out soon, ahahah.

For those with rings that are too big -
I am still losing and don't want to get my wedding band re-sized until things "settle down". I heard there are sizers you can snap inside a ring if it is too big. Anyone seen/heard of this? I miss wearing my wedding band, It has sat on my night table for 3 months now...

I did that too! A few years ago ... my engagement ring ... $10,000 ring slipped off in some wrapping paper in the bottom of a trash bag. We narrowed it down to that being the ONLY place it could be, and since we had taken the trash out to the big dumpster earlier in the day, my husband jumped into the dumpster, dug around and found OUR trash (yes, it was gross) and there, in the bottom of the bag, with some broken glass, was my ring. So LUCKY to have found it and to have a husband that would root around in a dumpster LOL! I hope you find yours.

I would have done the same thing.

For perspective, one of my "wake up calls" that I needed to lose weight was when my wedding set was stolen from our home. It was in my jewelry box because I couldn't squeeze it on my fat, bloated fingers any more.

Be sure those suckers are insured!!!

My wedding and engagement ring currently reside on my middle finger, based on how they feel now, when I reach goal they'll be on my pointer. I think I'll use this as an excuse to hint for an anniversary band and have them all fused and resized when I reach goal.

Cold all the time. (temporary but still sucks)

Hormones stored in fat cells released and caused some of my hair to fall out like right after you have a baby hair loss. (temporary but still sucks)

due to the way clothes fit differently beyond just waist size I now wear "shorts" and "petites" not "averages" or "talls". I liked pretending I wasn't short.

Too THIN for most of the PANTS in my wardrobe ... too FAT for most of the BELTS in my wardrobe. Of my vast collection of leather belts, there are exactly 2 that fit around my waist. Neither fits the actual clothes very well. Good thing I wear sweaters that hang over the belt, because it is not a pretty sight.

Did I mention that finding belts to fit me is more difficult than finding actual pants?

And though my clothes tell me I am at least one pound smaller than I was last week, my scale, and the one at the doctors, say I am lying and I have gained 3-5 pounds! Must be all that training at the gym. Yeah, that's it. I've really gained that much muscle in 3 sessions of strength training!
