Today it was a little slow at work so I slide out to Old Navy to try on some jeans. When I started this journey I wearing a 42 inch waist. I've now gotten down to a 36 so I thought I would try on a 34. To my surprise I was able to do them up. They were just a wee bit tight but I got them on and they felt comfortable! I left the store with a huge smile on my face and had to race back to work so that I could share this NSV with my MFP family!

    Thats awsome - congratulations!

    BTW - my NSV is now I'm on the third belt hole. Six weeks ago I was on the first (last). All my pants fit better. I actually fit into a pair of old jeans last week. And I'm exercising so frequently I had to take a day off to rest my legs. And today I feel like I HAVE TO GO RUN. HAVE TO!

    congrats! I love that feeling when you grab the next size down just to see how far you have to go and then surprise it fits.

    Congrats! :drinker:

    I can relate because I used to buy 44" waist (was actually a 42" but needed longer rise and roomier thighs!) I even bought adjustable waist in case I got bigger! :sick: :sick: :sick:

    >>>Fast forward<<<

    I reached the 'tightest' hole in my usual belt a couple of months ago and had to drill another! Now, even that's loose! I won't buy a tighter belt yet because my pants will buckle/pucker too much. As long as I'm not saggin', I'm good!
    I'm almost at my Stage 2 goal (see profile) but buying new clothes (and belts) will be my reward for reaching Stage 3 goal. At that time, I look forward to a major NSV like yours! :happy: Although I'll still probably have to shop at Big-n-Tall stores because of 34-36" inseams! :sad:
