    pulled out my last year's shorts for summer and realizing they were too big. Then pulling out my shorts from years ago that I were too small for me but I kept anyways for when I lost weight and -- ta da! They were too big.

    downside- my favorite pants and jeans no longer fit and I'm too broke to buy all new clothes.

    My father died Tuesday. No, I did not worry about my calories. But I did log. It made me feel better to keep up my normal routine. That was a huge victory for me personally.

    I bought a sewing machine to alter all my favorite clothes so they still fit. And threw out all the old ones that don't fit that I didn't like.

    Great NSV's. I went to the doctor and the nurse asked me if I was a runner after she took my blood pressure and heart rate, because "only runners have heart rates that low." I like that nurse!!

    I got into a lovely business dress that had been hanging in the wardrobe for ages - you know, one of those inspiration dresses that you buy and somehow finds it way to the back of the wardrobe?- and it was too big on me!!

    Also bought some jeans a couple of weeks ago which are already loosening up nicely

    @Shelby1582: Congrats. I also kept a few of my clothes from when i used to be skinny:)

    P.S: you are broke now but you have an amazing body and probably have a better body image about yourself. When you finally have some money and do buy clothes that fit you it will be even more rewarding.

    I'm so sorry for your loss.

    I actually had a couple of them today! :D

    1) My smallest zip up hoodie (small to the point that I stopped wearing it for a while because it was too tight and made me feel like a sausage), fits comfortably now! :D
    2) As I was on my walk today, I didn't feel that uncomfortable rubbing between my upper thighs! :D

    The scale wasn't very nice this past week, so it's nice to see things like this that help keep me motivated to keep going! I *FEEL* better and my clothes fit better, so for the time being I'm ignoring the scale ;)

    Is there a Goodwill near you? At least for the moment, you can find some pretty nice clothes that will fit both you and your budget! Especially if there is a Goodwill Outlet store and you don't mind digging...clothes are priced by the pound there! Hope this helps! :)

    My condolences. Losing someone you love is really tough(i speak from experience) but the most important thing is to cherish all those moments together and appreciate what your dad has done for you.

    Good job on still logging although it must have been so hard.

    BE STRONG!

    Wow, that is amazing. Quite the NSV!

    I WANT to go to the gym today. That's pretty rare. I also did the mile long walk to the bus today without getting all huffy or out of breath - yay me

    My jeans that were just at the brink of being too tight to wear when I started watching my diet are now fitting comfortably. I lost another 1/4" from my upper arms and a 1/2" from my waist. I feel thinner than the scale says I should and I'm going with it.

    Oh, and I had the first day with all restaurant (really good restaurant) eating and stayed on track, at least as far as I can estimate. OK, I had only two meals instead of my usual four, but that wasn't my choice. I feel even better knowing I was able to control myself while SO HUNGRY.

    All your NSVs are so inspiring.

    Losing weight is not always fun but reading success stories of other people and even small things like NSVs(which if you look at ain't that small) keeps me going and inspires me the most during the hard times.

    I love the MFP community:)

    My wife bought me pants with a 30" waist. I was skeptical until I put them on. Really? 30"??? Heck, its been better than 30 years since i fit into them! Pretty exciting for me :)

    My heart rate on the treadmill was lower than what it was the first time I stepped on it, going the same speed. I also avoided ordering my "norm" when hubby and I went out to eat this weekend, and got (and enjoyed) a much healthier option. And I really wanted what I normally get too.

    I sent a box of the clothes that I shrunk out of to a friend of mine who is also losing weight. I had to get some new tees to wear this summer, because the 2XL shirts I wore last year are on their way across the country. I bought mediums. They're tighter than I'm used to wearing, but they probably would be considered "properly fitting," I just used to wear things loose.

    downside- my favorite pants and jeans no longer fit and I'm too broke to buy all new clothes.

    Go to Goodwill for 'weight-loss' clothes. My wife has lost 25 pounds and has gone from a 14 to a 10. She got 3 pairs of jeans for like $20.

    You sound like my husband, only his new pants are 32"s. He last wore a 32" in high school, more than 25 years ago.

    I can totally relate! I used to have several "skinny clothes" in my closet to try on to guage how fat I was, and I no longer have those - I'm wearing them - and some of those are too big. I broke out the summer box this weekend, and immediatly had to go shopping. Yeah, I broke my budget to avoid wearing clothes that look baggy and sloppy. My husband went so far as to say "just tighten a belt on those shorts" but I felt like a Beverly Hillbilly. The strangest thing is button up shirts and t-shirts that used to be short are now long enough to wear with leggings. I'm making a goal to learn to sew so I can get some more wear out some stuff before I sell it at the consignment shop!
