    Took several bags of clothes to the Oxfam store because they were much too big!
    I was upset to be parting with so many "favourite" outfits, but what's the point of keeping them, I never want to be that size again!
    Because they were all freshly washed and pressed they went straight out on shop floor where most snapped up immediately by a woman who had lost 5 stone/ 70lb/ about 30kg after weight loss surgery and needed some workwear :)
    And just to make me feel even better, the nice lady was so pleased with her designer bargains she gave £200 to the Nepal Earthquake appeal :smiley:

    This morning when I was showering I did a double-take at how much smaller my shoulder looked.

    My second NSV... for kicks I tried on some clothes when I was at Walmart this afternoon. I actually fit in their clothes now. It's silly but I truly wanted to cry in the changing room. I started out at 400 lbs and for the first time I just walked into a store and bought something off the rack instead of having to buy something online from plus size stores. It felt wonderful.

    Yep, I had the same reaction and wanted to bawl my eyes out AND hug the shop assistant when I could fit into a size L in a regular store. Great nsv - just beware it might turn you into a total shopping addict >:)

    Last week I treated myself to a new, smaller sized dress as all my other clothes were too big and baggy.
    I wore it for the first time today.
    In Marks and Spencer's I saw a woman in an identical dress coming towards me and thought, " She's got great legs, I wish I looked like that!"
    Then I realised it was a mirror.
    Had to sit down and explain to my boy that "Mummy isn't crying, these are happy tears!" :smiley:

    Congratulations to you!!! I'm well on my way. I bought about $75 worth of tanks and maxi skirts. :D I don't think I'll ever wear shorts with these wrinkly legs though. >:)

    1. Bought new jeans today. Used to be a 40" waist. Took a 38 and 36 into the changing room with me. Neither fit... walked out with a 34.

    2. Went for a run. Usually do two loops of a 1.8 mile circuit. Started a bit fast today, and I knew the wife was at home waiting for me so we could go out, so I thought "eh.... I'll see how quick I can do one lap instead." Now, the first time I ever ran this, it took me 18:53. My previous record was 15:30. I thought, "maybe I can get under 15 minutes." I did it in 14:11.

    DD14 had her first 2 softball games this week. She was bummed out over her performance so far. To give her a somewhat funny motivation, I told her that everytime she gets a base hit, Mom will drop and do 10 pushups, no matter who is watching.
    She can't wait for Monday afternoon's game.

    At any rate, it's a NSV because it just popped out of my mouth and I was surprised that the thought of it did not intimidate me at all.

    Your NSV should be that that motivated her and didn't mortify her! My daughter would be so embarassed (but secretly probably pretty proud!)

    I was able to get down on the ground and turn off the propane gas to my fireplace without holding onto somethimg to get up. May be small, but it was a huge deal to me.

    I hit 100 days logging today :)

    I also went to the pool before work, and managed to drag my husband with me! And he enjoyed it (even though he was disappointed he had lost some form from the last time he swam...15 years ago!) :o

    Played 6 hours of softball today at a tournament. During the 6th hour the rain started coming down *bad* and, to keep warm, I started doing star jumps in the outfield.

    I went on a 6 mile hike and put on my fanny pack for the first time in a long time. I had to shorten the belt by about 8"!!!!!
