3 months ago I bought a pair of 35 waist jeans because my 38's were too loose.
My NSV is that my 36's don't work anymore and my one pair of 35's is too big but doable. I have one pair of jeans I can wear. I'll probably go for 34's next...for the first time in over 25 years.
Fun NSV this past weekend and totally weird. With COVID and working from home, I haven't been driving much. We took a long road trip and I couldn't figure out why I felt strange. Then I realized I take up less room in the car. I could move around and can comfortably put my legs up and such. One weird thing, I had to lift the seat - I think there's less back there to sit on
I shared a selfie with a friend to show off a new pair of glasses and she said "you're so tiny!" Now I want to do my makeup and take another profile pic.
My favorite pair of comfy yoga pants that are at peak comfyness after being worn/sat in for a few hours...now were perfect right out of the dryer! No breaking-in necessary before becoming comfortable!
Hadn't planned on doing anything today b/c I'm sore and just lazy.
Daughter joined a girls running group recently and has been enjoying going for walks (and her jogging here and there).
Well after her virtual learning, she wanted to go for a walk. Instead of continuing my lazy day... I grunted myself up, got dressed and we took a nice quick walk outside. I even jogged just a little here and there too which is a huge deal for me.
A NSV from last week was opening my closet and realizing that all my pants either fit now. They used to be so tight that I had to wear them for awhile to be comfortable... not the way to start a good day.
I'm back down to the size at which most of my "good" clothes fit again. 5 months and 42 pounds later. I'm patting myself on the back for not spending much money on the larger size I've now shrunk out of. Just a small bag of Old Navy basics is left to donate. If anyone takes clothing donations these days.Though I am questioning the goal weight I picked. I'll need a whole new wardrobe if I lose another 22 pounds but I'd REALLY like to make it down to a normal BMI.
So I have a weird NSV... After several months of exercising regularly, eating better, reducing alcohol consumption, AND remembering to take my vitamins (because it's right on the MFP page for logging stuff!).... my finger nails have started to grow well. I could NEVER grow my nails. They always split and chipped so easily. I've decided to chalk this up to a better life style.
Inevitable downside: most of the rings I bought the last few years (and there are a few! I love online jewelry auctions) are too big now.
You could get them resized to fit? (I sympathise: I had to buy another ring to keep my wedding ring on when I lost weight. My wedding ring is engraved so I don't want to have it made smaller.)

They're all vintage silver rings and the cost of resizing would probably be as high as the price I paid for them 🙂 But yeah, I might choose a few I really like and that are resizeable when I've been in maintenance awhile!
The first picture was taken by accident from my webcam and I have to chuckle. I was horrified when I found it on my computer.
16 pounds and 7 weeks between the 1st and last picture. About 50lbs to go, but it's progress!

Yesterday at the doctor when nurse told me to take off my shirt, I did so without feeling self conscious about how I would look with no shirt on.
