I bought a bridesmaid dress for my sister in laws wedding months ago. I even bought a size smaller than I was comfortable in knowing I was buckling down on my weight. I just tried it on for a fitting and the seamstress told me I should have bought a smaller size. Totally made my day.

I am at the last notch on a belt that I purchased about 2 years ago.

@workaholic_nurse
I have said this same thing to other NSV belt people: Drill/punch new holes in the belt, putting that over-sized belt on each day is a great reminder of where you have been and how far you have come.

I keep being surprised that there is so much space between the steering wheel and my belly -- several inches! A year ago, there was not much clearance.

I gave up sugar back in March. Last night I was out on a riverbank at twilight and someone was making smores.... and I didn't crave them. It was a lovely part of the scene, but not something I needed to eat. I can remember when that craving would have been automatic, and just a question of whether I would eat 1 or 3. I had had a really awesome dinner, was done with food for the day, and just didn't want/crave any sugar, thanks!

Fitting back into a pair of shorts I had all but given up hope on ever wearing again. They're not quite comfortable yet, but I can at least put them on. Keeping my eye on the prize - wearing my own clothes that I refused to donate, I know I can achieve this....and maintain!

A scale victory actually.I always feel like I am making no progress, but I am actually down 17 pounds since spring. And I thought maybe I could see a hint of a kneecap. Those things have been buried for years.

mrschwarten · September 2018

Oh, it's so nice to come back and see all these successes!!

Been AWOL, but now I'm back at it. I had a moment last week that kind of snapped me back into focus. I was chatting with a coworker about how I haven't been working out or eating too healthfully lately and I feel awful. He very sheepishly in the most cautiously way possible said "but you still look very nice" (I think he was afraid my feelings would be hurt or I'd be offended by him looking

). I guess what I realized was although I was struggling, my brain amplified my non-successes. I went back to big fat ol' years-ago me. When in reality, yea, I've gained some body fat back and lost some muscle, but not everything's gone to hell. Not even to heck.

I started logging on September 3rd (that's a victory in itself) and decided to track measurements instead of weight.

My NSV is that I lost more than 3 cms on my waist in September.

allison8668 · September 2018

With my new diet plan, I'm actually eating 5 servings of veggies per day - sometimes even more ! This is pretty phenomenal for me - LOL

becca_rup23 · September 2018

That when I finally make the decision to keep track of what I eat again, the changes happen pretty quickly - which makes me happy but also frustrated that I don't always want to but it's so easy... Down a few pounds so far and feeling good and healthy!

Closet shopping today and finding lots of treasures

MissyMilda · September 2018

I usually work out in the evening, but - despite a night out last night - I fit in my c25k session this morning before check out, because I won't have the chance to fit it in tonight.

On the flipside, my suitcase is now a horror show of how not to pack!

CarvedTones · September 2018

Just joined PF a couple of weeks ago with a plan of 3 times a week. Went 7 times in my first 2 weeks.

mhlew · September 2018

1) I’m the weight my drivers lisence says

2) went from xxl tee shirts to xl

3) compliments from friends, family, customers taking notice.

4) a jacket I have I can now close it and zip it up.

fitchick37 · September 2018

I didn't feel great in my dress last night but glad I went out. So many people told me how great I was looking, so much happier and stress free these days having started to change my life. The scales have a long long way to go but feeling better and happier is the ultimate nsv.

Parked remotely. Walked a mile and back to the office.

jdubois5351 · October 2018

I had to take public transportation to work today, which led to two NSVs:
1. Did not take my station but walked to the next, at 6am, in the dark nonetheless.
2. Bought a coffee at the awesome bakery in the station, appreciated all the amazing baked goods - but didn't buy any. I didn't even really want to.

Yay me!

MsBaz2018 · October 2018

I traveled for 3 1/2 months between December and March. When I came back, most of the clothes I normally wear to church didn't fit anymore. After a long slow weight gain slide of more than one year, that trip was just the last nail on the coffin.

NSV is: I just tried two of them this morning and they fit. A tight fit but not uncomfortable at all.
I haven't been to church since I came back (for a number of reasons not all clothes related) but I'll definitely and thankfully get in one of those dresses to go next Sunday.

MsBaz2018 · October 2018

After a slowly (re) gaining weight over one year, I traveled for 3 1/2 months between December and March. That trip was just the last nail on the coffin as when I came back I couldn't get into some of the outfits I usually wear to church.

NSV is: I just tried two of those outfits this morning on a whim and they fit!!

I swam 10km yesterday. 3.5 hours and feel fine today.
Gravity felt a bit odd for the first couple of hour when I got out of the pool haha. But wow is swimming low impact! I could barely walk for 2 days after my half marathon which was 'just' 3 hrs of exercise!

Got some lovely odd looks from lifeguards when I asked for 4 session bands hehe. Panicked when I seemed to forget the laps between 200 and 300 - but I must have done them! lol Some very weird thought processes occurred but it got done!

Thanks to the inspirational @fishgutzy who swims this pretty regularly on weekends and has cracked the 10 mile swim!

stewarm01 · October 2018

Purchased a 1x jacket yesterday, I normally would have bought a 3x.

awomaame25 · October 2018

2.most of my clothes are really loose but i am not buying any until i reach my goal size 10(UK)currently 14(UK).

3.I was on the ellipital for 67minutes straight wihtout a break(being taking breaks every 20minutes or so for the last 3 months).

I just ran up a flight of steps WITHOUT getting winded! Go me!

tbright1965 · October 2018

Dropped about $350 this weekend with L.L. Bean. Traveled to a city that had one and tried on some smaller items. Bought those that fit and ordered what they didn't have in stock.

Bought some 35" waist pants, down from the 38" pants I've been wearing, and some Large Tall shirts, down from either the XL Tall or the XXL when tall was not available.

Doubt I'll get down to a medium and 35" waist will probably be close enough as it's unlikely I'll lose more than another 20#.

Wallet Victory, my wife only bought one item of clothing this weekend

RelCanonical · October 2018

I own a pair of tights that used to always roll down to my belly button, and I'd have to pull them up again (tights wearers may know what I'm talking about). Now, they no longer roll down, and if I wanted to I could pull them up over my breasts (but that would be weird so just below they stay).

Something I've noticed is too small tights roll down, and too large tights fall down. There definitely is a sweet spot when they fit well!

Bike shorts can do the same if the belly is bigger than the waist.

I've also moved from XL to just L in my bike shorts.

Going to try to dry my XL shorts on high heat to see if I can get them to shrink a bit before I spend $50/pair on replacements.

That would be quite the look @RelCanonical

Excellent. Congrats on the 10km swim. Definitely not as hard on the legs.
My legs were a sore agr the 16km. All those push offs. Like doing a few hundred squats

CarvedTones · October 2018

Saw a coworker at the gym this morning. He said he wasn't sure it was me at first because I was so fit. He knew I had lost the weight but didn't realize how much exercise I have been getting.
