    I was able to button up a blazer without sucking it in or popping a button.

    Today is a little chilly where I live, so I’m rocking that skinny jeans in boots combo. Like many ladies, I’ve never been one of those lucky ones blessed with slim calves. Mine have always been rather bulky (kind people say muscular, but for me, it was usually just bulk. Haha), and at my top weight boots weren’t even an option. After dropping some weight a few years ago, I found some boots that work for me, though they’ve always been a close fit. Today however, I looked down and noticed that the boots are actually a tiny bit loose around my calves!! There is definitely a gap between my pants and the boot!!! WHAT?! This is a HUGE NSV for me, as I’m at my lowest weight but my calves have still been slow to realize that.:happy: YAY!!!

    Ok, so I've been kinda down cuz of course my first month I lost 15 lbs, but this second month I haven't lost any lbs (but I hadn't gained any either)

    ... BUT....

    I put on my jeans today and I realized they're getting baggy from the back of my thighs!! :bigsmile:

    Mine is kind of boring but also kind of awesome:
    I have not had a cold or a flue in 9 months!
    I use to get 3-4 colds a season before - not this winter!

    Btw, I am from Australia so our winter just finished.

    I noticed today that I actually feel lighter when I walk, my jeans are getting loose, and when I look down I no longer see fat on my knees, yay!

    I bought a dress for thanksgiving that was a size L ! Last year it was XL or XXL only for me for that store. That felt pretty awesome!

    just wore a new bra today that is several cups and 3 band sizes (so 6 inches) smaller than I started in.

    Congrats on all the NSV in here!

    Mine: I'm sore from lifting weights. (I haven't been sore from lifting weights since the end of May when I started a new program. I took about 3 weeks off last month because of a HUGE race, so I'm just getting back to it. But I LOVE the soreness of weight lifting, so I was excited when I felt sore after lifting.)

    I bet no one has ever posted this in the history of MFP NSV topics and it might be TMI but I was able to shave my privates much easier. Yes I am a guy that does that. I hadn't shaved down there since early in my diet and it was much easier this time not fighting my gut while shaving. Trimmer then blade :blushing:

    I have skinner feet now - LOL! :laugh:

    Pants I bought two weeks ago which fit nicely, now need a belt!
    I finally, figured out how my body prefers to eat on a diet (low carb)!
    I've lost 30 lbs since April 1st....Six months ago I never thought I could do it, today, I know there is still more that I will do!

    Realized this morning that since I've lost 40lbs, I've started taking more pride in my appearance - doing my hair every day rather than wearing it in a ponytail, wearing more professional clothing to work, etc. Maybe this is vanity, but it makes me feel good.

    At the beginning of the summer I dug out a pair of jeans that used to fit me snugly last year, and they were a bit too tight for me...

    Yesterday I wore them and was walking around when something felt off, I realized they had fallen halfwaydown my bottom, exposing my comfy granny pants to the world!!

    Guess I'm going to have to invest in a belt...

    My NSV is kinda strange...but I consider it a victory.

    After 8 weeks of healthy eating, I had a greasy chicken sandwich last night during my weekly poker league...and, to put it mildly, my body rebelled. I consider it a victory that my body has changed enough to reject "crap" food...and I won't be eating that again!

    I hear you. I put on earrings yesterday for the first time in... oh... let's say 8 months. My work is pretty lenient as far as getting "dressed up"; you don't have to if you don't want to within reason. Me in earrings = either special occasion or starting to care a bit more what I look like.

    Just realised I've doing this a month today, and also my husband has been sharing the healthy meals with me and making more effort to eat better because I am. I knew he must be losing weight because earlier, while carrying some boxes downstairs, his jeans fell right down around his ankles lol! Turns out he has managed to lose just over a stone! :D

    I have a pair of jeans on right now that I have had for at least 3 years and were a gift from my mother. The jeans used to be tight everywhere. Now, they are baggy in the leg and butt area, and even though I have a little bit of a muffin top, it doesn't hurt to bend over or sit with them buttoned when I used to have to unbutton them when I did those things! :)

    This week, I hit a consistent 100+ days of logging (currently 106 days)

    Went shopping today, due to being tired of wearing crazy baggy work clothes (that were a 16). Picked out 2 different sizes of pants (a 12 and a 14, just for kicks and giggles).

    Assumed I'd only fit into the larger pair. Tried on the 12s and they actually fit!!! The waist wasn't uncomfortable to wear or anything, but in the legs, it looked too tight for it to be work appropriate. So I played it safe and got a 14 in black slacks.

    I haven't been in a 12 in at least a year or two. I'd love to get below that, even. I have a pair of super cute jeans that are a size 8 that I've never been able to wear. Got them for Christmas many years ago and they didn't even fit me then. I'd kill to be a single-digit pant size again!

    Oh, and my only belt that I can find at home is way too big for me. Even the last hole in the belt isn't enough :)

    1: Just logged on for my first 30 day streak! I've never had a streak of more than 9 days before, and this time it didn't feel like an effort at all!
    2: My dad, a former multi-marathon runner and basically my coach and idol when it comes to fitness, told me that I was in decent shape a few minutes ago after we finished a run. Please believe me when I say this has never ever ever happened before.

    Found six pair of dress pants in the back of the closet that not only fit they were loose. One pair I remember buying when my son was 3 years old and he is almost 18 now. Did a happy dance in my closet :laugh:

    I was averaging a 13:29 mile last night on my "run".

    I got a pair of size 14 jeans and didn't have to dance my way into them (they are a little stretchy, but still, 6 weeks ago I would have been wiggling and muffin topping like mad).

    Today is a 50 day streak for me.

    :drinker:

    I've been able to actually go on the elliptical machine. I'm only able to do 10 minutes right now but it's 10 minutes more than I was able to do a month ago. The plan is to increase it by 2 minutes each week.

    Was helping my brother and sister in law paint at their new house yesterday. I was on trim so I was squatting and then standing up again a lot to get to the baseboards and climbing on and off chairs to do the tops of doorways. Last year I would have been huffing and puffing and making old person noises doing all that. Yesterday, I realized about half way through the day that I felt fine and strong.
