I have to lose about 50 pounds total and I am down 10.5 so far so no one has really noticed that I've lost any weight yet which is a little bit of a bummer, you know? I feel so much different already and feel like everyone else should be able to tell darnnit!

Anyway...I haven't really dropped pants sizes yet but......I realized that the two pair of pants that I do fit in have gotten really big. You know how when you are overweight and your pants are tight, you tend to not wash your pants very often b/c if you do, they will shrink (even if you wash them in cold and hang them to dry) and then what will you have to wear? Well....last night I HAD to put both of my pairs of pants in the washer AND THE DRYER so that they would shrink enough that they would fit!! NSV......

Before you know it, all those other pairs of pants that have been hanging so patiently in my closet for the past few years will get their day...I can't wait!!

    That is awesome!! I've definitely been there before... It's hard to get pants to fit my body, so I usually only have 2-3 pairs that I wear. I've lost some pounds in the past 25 days (since coming back to MFP), and I really hope that I start dropping in sizes. Congrats to you for your NSV!

    Haha. I remember doing that - not washing/drying so they wouldn't shrink. I'm in the same boat as you now. I need all the shrinking I can get. Congrats to you! You are doing so well. Keep it up. The NSVs and SVs will only come more frequently! :flowerforyou:

    Yah when the pants are tight, you wear silky undies. When they are loose, you have to switch to cotton so you can keep the pants on.

    My belts are ready for new holes, they don't do much good to keep my loose pants up!
