An Old Navy Junkie's 1st NSV

ahopefulloser · September 2013

1st photo is from January of this year, before I changed my eating habits. I weighed about 313 pounds. The second photo was taken an hour ago in an Old Navy dressing room (I weigh 251 today). I’m a bit of an Old Navy junkie due to their available larger sizes (via their website only) so I can be confident that I have indeed changed in size without worrying about size conversions between brands. I was wearing a size 28 skirt in photo #1. Today I was able to SQUEEZE into a size 18 at old navy (side note: size 18 is the largest size available in the Old Navy retail stores) The size is still an inch or two too small but I was able to zip and button it up so I will call this one a win. I bought the jeans so that I can wear them in a month or so when I’ve lost some more inches. (Based on this I can estimate that I am currently a size 20)

This is one of my first non-scale victories!

Another side note: All this change has occurred in the span of 4 1/2 months!

I just noticed how much the shirt I'm wearing is sagging. Guess I need to buy new tops too!

Congratulations! What a difference!

I am an ON junkie for the same reason- one of the only inexpensive places I could find clothes at. I am actually really excited about shopping somewhere else for once!

Amazing! Thank you for sharing this because I just set one of my first NSV goals to fit into an outfit I bought two years ago. We are going on vacation next month and I am hoping to wear the outfit while on vacation! The jeans look great on you now, and I don't think you will have to wait a month to wear them. You will want to wear them as much as possible before they get baggy!! Keep up the good work.
