I have only went down from a 3x shirt to a 2x because of my shoulders, tub chest, and arm length but have a couple xl t-shirts that fit good. The pants is what keeps me messed up. I carry all my fat in my gut and love handles. I went from not buttoning my 46 pants to these Christmas 40's will fall to the ground without a belt. I am scared, and still to broke from Christmas, to keep buying clothes to use for a month. I need to rent jeans I guess. It is a good problem to have! LOL
Do you have any thrift stores where you live? They are absolutely your best friend while losing weight. As you shrink out of one size of clothes you donate them back and stock up on the next size down. Its almost like renting them lol. I need to wear decent clothes for work but couldn't/wouldn't go out and spend good money on something I'd only wear for a short while. Thrift stores were the answer

That is what I need to do. Thanks for the advise. I will check it out.4 -
I am so stoked, my NSV is that my A1C was 8.6% in Sept. and 5.0% yesterday. Through logging what I eat every day (ok, almost every day), keeping an eye on the carbs, and working out in some way most days.22

2 people at work today told me I am looking good/skinny - must be the clothes since the scale's not moving much. But I'll take the compliments 12

-3cm from chest, -3cm from waist and -5cm from hips since Christmas 18

Bought a cute dress on sale after Christmas despite it being so snug in the waist I had to have help zipping it up. Was feeling disgruntled yesterday about life in general, so I went to try it on and it fits my waist fine now. Down almost an inch in the waist, despite the scale being the same.
Recomping is hard emotionally! I know mentally that I'm eating at maintenance now and trying to lift heavy and recomp slowly over time, but emotionally I'm used to that reward of seeing the scale go down almost daily, and not having that is hard to get used to. So NSVs are really important to me now!26 -
I had one of my 2 annual Doctor visits yesterday and my cholesterol is down. My Triglycerides are down in half. From 194 to 97 to be exact. Only negative was that my HDL had dropped 11 points also. We will see what it does in July.19

That for nearly 2.5 years i have consistently logged my food, trained at least three times per week and walked at least four miles per day and at nearly 60 i am the fittest i have been all my life40

Filled out my registration form for a Valentine's 5K, which I've walked in multiple years, and realized I no longer qualify for the Athena category (females 165+ lbs). I did at last year's event. Woohoo!

I've been reading this thread for so long! Thanks to you all for getting me through the first (almost) month. I have a couple NSVs. First, I started a c210k app about 5 weeks before starting mfp, and am up to running 35 minutes (should be 5k but I am verrrrrry slow). And also my jeans are getting loose, but weirdly the most noticeably loose part is the waist in the back. There's a big gap there. Hmmm.20

Finished Fitness Blender's 4 week FB Sweat workout program in in the intended 4 weeks without missing a single day! Feeling stronger and leaner. This is my 5th program of theirs....Now I'm wondering whether I should just do it over again or reward myself with buying the newest one they have out. Decisions, decisions!14

Had a 2 for 1 coupon for a grilled cheese sandwich. They were pretty big. I thought I'd treat myself and have both for lunch. I ate one and felt full.... And then felt kinda sick about 20mins later..(it was a lot of cheese)
After a few hours I didn't want to eat the second one.... So I threw it out. (i couldn't give it to anyone and I just didn't want it) and it was so hard to throw it out. I hate wasting food! I felt bad it was throw it out or force myself to eat it.
A few years ago I would have just eaten both one after the other without blinking.22 -
Yesterday at work, the elevator in the parking garage was broken ... again. When it happened last month, the stairs hurt my knees so much after one flight I gave up and walked every floor of the garage to get to the fifth floor (like a car would go up) to avoid the other four flights. But I had to get home and didn’t have time to avoid the stairs yesterday. So I climbed them slowly, and boy was I out of breath, but I made it and surprisingly my knees weren’t killing me later, so that’s something!41

Not sure why THIS got flagged and "woo'd".
Congrats on the run! I hope the 3 minutes turn into 5 and more!
I didn't push that button, but I thought woo is like woo-hoo! like cheering for the commenter?
Nope. Woo like "woo-woo". Kind of a negative connotation on MFP. omg I had no idea, I've been woo'ing people in the wrong way !
I wouldn't worry about it, you're definitely not the only one. In fact, it's actually relatively easy to detect when it's intended positively and negatively (even though, as someone else pointed out here, the positive meaning technically is no longer valid). Whenever I see 1 or 2 'woos' one someone's post I get it's intended to cheer them on; when there are like 15 woos the intended meaning there is also unambiguous.10 -

I look at it this way: It's still wasting food if I eat it when I don't need it.
And great commitment to your goals! Saying no to grilled cheese has to be one of the hardest things a person can do (I love grilled cheese).10 -
Not sure it’s aNSV but yesterday was a stressful day and I kept thinking that I would splurge and get pizza or Chinese food to make me feel better, but I didn’t and had a salad instead. Got to go to store and pick up more healthy options so I don’t try and sabotage myself again30

I came down with the flu this month. Two weeks no running - felt my routine failing. Yesterday I skipped but today I had my first (small) run in 2.5 weeks despite not really "feeling it". Had a good run and will build up my routine again25

I can see my ribs! (If the lighting is right. While I'm inhaling.)34

When you are ready, go the step further and have the pizza and the chinese food, but in moderation and within your calorie goals. Dont restrict the foods you like, eventually you will fail if you do. Learn to have what you like within your goals and then you truly have made a lasting change.13
