A couple years ago I was a size 22.

In December, before joining MFP, I was a size 14.

Today, I went shopping for the first time in a while...and I'm in a size 10! Even though my scale isn't really moving around this month, my inches are apparently. Just this time last month I was still in a 12!

Do you have any NSVs you're excited to share? :D

    I pulled my spring/summer clothes out of storage a couple days ago. It looks like I'm going to have to do some shopping: all my stuff from last year is too big! My summer dresses were sizes 16 and 18, now I'm definitely a 12 or 14 depending on the style/cut. Woohoo!!!

    That's awesome! You deserve to shout it out to the world!

    My recent NSV is having another big bag of too big clothes to donate. I had a bag a few weeks ago but I found a bunch more yesterday.

    Great job!!!! I know you did a happy dance in the dressing room!

    I was a size 14 last year for my birthday (May). My mom bought me clothes and the pants were a size 8 ( uh, thanks mom). Well I never got around to returning them. I just tried them on today and they fit!!! Holy crap! I haven't been in a size 8 since before I was pregnant with my daughter (7 years ago!). So yeah, pretty excited :)

    That's so exciting!

    I actually almost cried. I've never been a size 10, and I was always obese growing up. And I mean obese. I was larger in the sixth grade than I am now, because my parents just never took care of me. They were too busy to cook, so I fed myself ice cream for dinner as a kid. I'm really lucky I don't have diabetes. The best thing you can do for your kids is be healthy. I'm so happy you are and you'll inspire your daughter to be healthy/happy, too.

    Changing clothes sizes is sooooooo exciting. I went shopping for capris today. I have a pair of white capris that have a couple of stains (and that I can pull off without unbuttoning) that I wanted to replace. I bought the exact same pair, except in a size 8. I was telling the hubs about it when I got home and said that the pair I bought last summer was a 12 so I was down 2 sizes. But then I looked at the tag and the old pair were 14s :smile: Down 3 sizes since last summer. 2 years ago I wore a womans 22.

    That's a great NSV, OP.

    Today I had 32 minutes on the excercise bike at a slightly faster pace than I used to be able to, and didn't die. It helps that the weather is cooler, but it's still a win.

    I have 2 little girls and all I want is to be able to keep up with them, teach them good nutrition and self acceptance. To this day my mother still randomly goes on Optislim for a month or two as a solution to gaining weight, rather than learning the right way to do things and I know that has affected how I view diets & nutrition.

    I just bought some new shorts a few weeks ago, they are already hanging off my hips. We went shopping for some new ones yesterday and I was able to fit into several pairs of 34s. Down from a 38-40 at New years.

    That's awesome! My boyfriend is in 40s atm, but he's going to be moving in with me soon and wants to start running with me. Plus he'll be eating what I cook. :)

    Congrats everyone! My favorite NSVs happen in the fitting room too! OP, if you don't mind, I'd like some of your size 12 clothing, because that's the size I fit into today. Of course, I kid :laugh: , but it would be cool to have an MFP clothing swap. I also bought my very first bikini, and though I might not be the best body on the beach, it's definitely worlds better than it used to be :happy:

    For the first time in my adult life, I can buy pants from the "medium" section. I have ALWAYS been at least a large. Even in my teens.
