OK, I know a size 20 is still massive but my NSV was accidentally getting into a very old pair of size 20 jeans.

Dashing around getting dressed this morning, can't find pants. I see this pair of jeans on a pile of 'chuck clothes'. They are clean so I drag them on and surprise they fit. Bit snug but zipped up easily and comfortable to wear and sit in ! Checked the label and was very surprised to see they are Size 20 !

Not bad considering I was moving out (upwards) out of my size 24 jeans just a few weeks ago but the exercise & weight I lost pre-MFP and on MPF in the last three weeks have made such a difference to my waist and attitude.

So yeah for size 20 jeans ! Even considering holding onto my size 18 clothes for future use.

    That's awesome!! It's the best feeling to be able to zip some pants that were previously too tight! Remember this post when you are into a size 12! Best of luck to you!!

    that is fantastic
    definitely keep hold of those lower clothes sizes bag them up and put them out of the way

    and put the money to one side you would have spent on some wearable items
    then when you get to the size you want to stay at you will have enough to get a basic wardrobe you can then add to :)

    again fantastic

    Hey, I'm a size 16 - 20, depending on the fabric and all. But I have these cute size 16 pants, I bought them on sale at Lane Bryant for $9 a couple months ago. I wasn't able to even put them on at the time, but I keep trying every so often, first it was I could put them on but not button,, then I could button, not zip, now I can button and zip, but not sit, or barely breath, lol! And all this not losing any pounds! But I'm keeping them, and I'll keep trying. And at some point, I will be doing the same for a nice pair of size 14s! Keep it up!!!

    Congrats! That really is the best feeling, fitting back into those clothes from the dark back corners of your closet.

    Probably my most emotional NSV was fitting into jeans that I bought 3 YEARS ago as "goal pants." I was never able to fit into them, and after their purchase my weight just kept going up and up. I've been on MFP since May, and about a month ago I pulled those jeans out of the closet and they slid right on like they were made for me. I literally cheered and almost cried.

    KEEP THE SMALLER SIZES. Having to buy new smaller clothes is exciting, but expensive And I really hate having to buy all the "in between sizes" on my weight loss journey. Started out a size 18 and I now wear a 12. There are now many very gently worn size 16 and 14 pants all over my floor. I regret throwing out all those clothes I had years and years ago that would actually fit me correctly now.
