    Fantastic NSV! It is hard to see ourselves in our new size. I use all my old Xlarge t-shirts to workout in. It feels good to feel my body shrink under those old sizes :)

    Ha! Love it! That happened to me last May when I went to do my first 5k race! When I signed up about two months prior to the race I had only lost about 9 pounds, so I ordered a large shirt. When I went to pick it up, the lady said, "Large!? You don't need a large! Here's a medium!" Even the medium was a tiny bit loose (men's sizes) then...when I wear the shirt now, almost a year later it feels like I am swimming in it! Yay!

    That is awesome and a great feeling - I know when I had to go buy mediums (which I have never worn in my adult life) it was amazing. I couldn't believe it - I can even where some smalls depending on the maker. Keep it up girl - you have come a very long way!!!

    NSV - mean non-scale victory (like going down in a size) - something that is not associated with the scale.

    Awesome NSV for you.. My wife did the same to me a few weeks ago, we went shopping for some shorts and I immediately grabbed a mens size 36.. she looked at me and said "Yeah Right".. In my mind I assumed bigger, she then grabbed a size 33 and pushed me into the fitting room and surprisingly the fit quite well.. so I know your feelings of joy.. Congrats

    NSV is a Non Scales Victory.

    Congrats thats a brilliant NSV, I cant wait for that day, I hate the fact that alot of XXL's are too small for me and I am embarrassed to ask for a 3XL (most places dont even do them). I cant imagine fitting into a medium - that would be a very happy day for me. Very well done.

    That's awesome!
    I had a similar experience recently where two people more or less argued with me about my size. They convinced me to try on the size that was two sizes smaller than what I was wearing (which I'll admit, had become too big). I thought the next size down would be about right or maybe reasonably snug. I couldn't believe that the one two sizes down it fit just right. Hadn't worn that size in 25 years.
