What's Your Most Recent NSV

Finally reached my high school weight again (1st time was before holidays)30 years later after losing the holiday poundage this past month. Hallelujah, praise the Lord!!! Sorry sort of related to scale but excluding numbers.

Today I wore some pants that did not fit 3 weeks ago.

Went thrift shopping today. Saw a pair of shorts I thought would be fun, and they were half off. But there's no way they would fit.

Vanity sizing and all, I decided to at least try 'em on.

Boom!

When I use my tape measure, I'm actually a little smaller than last time I checked, but still two inches larger than the number in these shorts. Still... feels kind of fun to think I'm that small. I've found some other pants there that fit at size S. I can hardly believe it, because I'm truly a medium-sized guy for the most part. I'm just not as wide as the typical person - seems "only" 30% of American adults aren't overweight or obese.

30 min straight on the stair mill this morning.

got off track yesterday, ate everything in sight but good thing is it is just a 1 day thing, didnt give up, I use to would have just thrown in the towel.

Dug through my closet and did a little fashion show for myself.

Tights I bought that wouldn't even go over my thighs when I bought them now fit.

A blouse I bought that fit normally or a little tight is now hilariously huge.

A shirt I bought when I was 18 (and never had the guts to wear because it's very form fitting) now almost fits. I mean, it fits, but it's still a touch too tight to really look good. Still, it goes on, which it hasn't in years.

Every single dress I own is huge. I think I can take the one in to be tailored, but the rest are a lost cause.

A sweater I used to love fits again.

I can now wear the My Little Pony shirt I got as a joke gift that I actually unironically love but was way too small before.

Progress is being made. Even if it doesn't feel that way always.

Also a NSV - for watching test matches this year, I stuck to tea & cress sandwiches!

I wore my belt for the first time in over a year (physically couldn’t for a LONG time after my hysterectomy, then my pants were snug enough to not need it, eventually I didn’t have any jeans that actually fit... I have practically lived in workout gear or leggings and dresses)... I buckled it on the last notch - as in, I will have to punch more holes as I lose more weight!

I’m happy and relieved to say, this girl is officially 5 years CANCER FREE!!! It’s hard for me to even believe that i have endured and continue to endure this in my life and a lot of people do not know this about me but dealing with this has been one of the hardest things iv ever had to go through and has effected me in so many ways i didn’t even realize until now, looking back! I continue to deal with this everyday and probably will the rest of my life regardless and it has taken me a long time to not be down on myself about it. I’m not big into new year resolutions but i think starting this year it’s a good time to not look at myself as weak or unlucky! But instead look at myself as a badass *kitten* that kicked cancers *kitten*! Going through this has humbled me so much to people and life!! Don’t have to have cancer to be dealing with something causing you pain in your life! Whether ur dealing with cancer, another illness, divorce, a loss, depression, addiction or just LIFE. Know that u are not weak and ur not alone! ♥️🙏🏼😭🙌🏼 #NSV

Husband finally decided to workout with me—had our first lifting session in our garage lifting area he made for me last night. Definitely need to find some exercise work around for his shoulder issues but excited to actually work out together!

Won a dietbet finally and bought some pants one size smaller and they fit nicely. Also bought a couple of button up shirt one size smaller and they fit as well. Progress is being made. ;-)

I went to my exercise class this morning only to find out it had been cancelled.

I came home and did an hour of "walk away the pounds"

Went to the dentist today. Last time I was there was closer to the beginning of my journey. She commented on how much weight I'd lost.

Pulled down the attic stairs to put away Christmas decorations, and I wasn't worried I would break the stairs

It is utterly wonderfully terrific that I have on one of my favorite size 8 "skinny" jeans right now and I have at least 1 inch (or more) EXTRA space on both sides of the waist. I can take them on and off without unzipping nor unbuttoning them. I'm actually going to need a belt for them, because of their looseness ( I'm been pulling them up all day). I still am in sizes 6/8...but the SOME of my size 8's are getting too big on me---uhhhhhhh---YAY!

To go from a size 22w (219.8lbs) this time a couple of years ago, to today 137.2lbs/size 6/8, to a too big in the waist SKINNY jean size 8 now is nothing less than amazingly FABULOUS. Also, to look at the clothes I wear now, especially the pants and jeans--looks like clothes for a young lady or super slim/skinny woman, they are so tiny--especially compared to the 20w's.

These are some recent pics of me (in a size 6) One of the pics is me in one with both legs in one leg of the size 20w I used to have to squeeze to get into a couple of years ago!

Look at how TINY these size 6's are...WOW



Me a couple/few years ago not sure if these are the same size 20w jeans above, but I DO remember having to struggle to get these jeans buttoned--they were so TIGHT in the waist


Me with my now two legs inside ONE pant leg of the 20w


Me a month or so ago
