NSV today! Share yours?

Congrats to all of you!!!

I am proud to say.. for the first time ever I bought a pair of size 16 pants at Target in Mossimo brand.. 2-3 years ago I couldnt even fit into the XXL there nevermind the XL pants and L shirts...Its been great being able to shop in the Large sizes in regular stores instead of plus size shops or very tight regular XL...WOOT!

I bought two belts that were smaller then the one I was using. Now my pants can't slide down past my hips anymore. I'm also finding out that running is turning into an addiction. I want to run now, but I can't.

Congrats to all of you, love this thread, keeps me moving. My NSV is when my husband and I were sitting across from each other at the table he said "I can see your cheek bones now." And this past Friday night to be wild and crazy I went through my pajamas and pulled out half of them to donate because they are way too baggy. Last year some of them were too tight to wear! I love finally having clothes be too big when I put them on instead of too tight. This is the first time in my life that has happened. Yea!

I have a "pack-rat" gene I inherited from my parents. I had been procrastinating, but while she was home today, my wife cleared all the "L" and "XL" shirts out of my closet. Nothing but "M".

Edit:

Oh yeah, and I ran today -- for 6 minutes.

My pantyhose are so comfortable now since I’ve removed 18 pounds. Most of the time, I don’t realized that I’m wearing them.

My jeans doesn’t hurt anymore

I now read the nutrition facts on everything that I eat

I look forward to getting on the scale

Many times, I remove my slacks without using the zipper because my slacks are so comfortable I think they have elastic waist when they don’t.

(1) While out shopping at the mall I walked passed the floor to ceiling mirrors and glanced over - I thought to myself - wow, she's really tall. It was me - didn't recognize myself.

(2) Last night my husband hugged me, then pulled away and smiling he said - "you're boney." That's a word that's NEVER been used to describe me.

Walked around the hospital today in my scrubs (the same ones that had the elastic stretched to the max in December), and noticed that i am walking on the bottoms. Wondered if perhaps I had gotten shorter.

Realized that I may need to buy a new size, the elastic waist keeps falling to the edge of my hips.

Small victory, but one that my bf had been pointing out, and now I believe him.

I love this one! Scrubs can be so forgiving, but when you need a new size, you NEED a new size. I just went from 2XL's to Larges. I have one set of mediums that "fit" but are not yet suitable for public viewing. Great job.

I love what you said about them being forgiving... I knew I had a problem when my elastic waist ones (which i prefer so that the crotch isn't down by my thighs!) were stretched to the limit to the point they left DENTS in my tummy.

THAT was my truest wake-up call to get this ball rolling!

You have a high-five coming from me when you get those mediums out to play!!!

I have a good/bad NSV.
About 9 months ago I bought a new suit to attend a wedding; old suit would not fit. I came to terms that I needed the new suit because I just could not lose the weight. This new suit was tight on me because I was determined that I could fit in it.

The Good
I fit in my OLD suit now. The new one I just purchased is huge on me.

The Bad
I wasted a lot of money on that new suit.

Love NSVs! I confirmed yesterday that I am now a size 10! I say confirmed because I actually fit into a new pair of size 10s I bought a week ago but I didn't believe (thought they ran big) until I tried on a pair of bermuda 10's yesterday. I started out a size 24 so this is HUGE for me (pun intended, lol).

This morning on my way to work I had to drop something off to my son at college. As he walked up the car his friend with him said - hey I thought you Mom was dropping it off, my son said that is my Mom - the friend had not seen me since October. My son told me I looked gorgeous and that I was not allowed back on campus - LMAO!!! I told him I wasn't there yet but hopefully he could ban me in another 6 months!! My sons have always made me proud, it is so great to make them proud!!

every moms dream :flowerforyou:

No more heartburn!!!!

oops can't delete, lol:sick:

For me my biggest NSV (recently) would be that I ran a little over 5 miles, and on the beach at that. This is big for me because I am lucky to be alive let alone walking, even more so that I am able to run. I have been working out for a while now with the intent to loss enough weight to start running again, despite my neurologist warnings not to ever run again. My goal was to get below 200 before I started running again which is still 25 pounds over what I consider my goal weight. So the other day when I hit 202 I thought that today was the day, I’ll go for a short run on the beach, just a mile or so. Before I knew it I had ran 2.55 miles down the beach and still felt good, I turned around and headed back home. I have since made another beach run of equal distance, I ran faster and added a short Tabata at the midway point and still felt good at the end of my run. It’s made me want to do even more but I know I need to continue at a steady pace and not get ahead of myself and end up causing a setback due to an injury.
