    Love this thread!

    My first one came just a few months ago. I was clearing out my wardrobe when I came across a pair of jeans which I hadn't been able to get into since I was about 16 (I'm 23 now). I tried them on just for a laugh, and THEY FIT!

    They're now back in my regular rotation. :D

    My first happened just a couple of weeks ago. I got out the big suitcase of clothes that I grew out of when I put on weight and tried them all on... About half now fit, and the other half aren't that far off. It's been AMAZING to come into work in all these pretty dresses that haven't seen the light of day for nearly two years, and I've had so many compliments! I know I haven't lost that much weight, not nearly as much as some of you, but wearing this new/old wardrobe has made me feel like a different person.

    I bought a button down shirt from J Crew because it was on sale, when I first got it in January it was too tight on the hips for me to even open my suit jacket but yesterday I wore it and fit absolutely fine!

    Mine was a coworker telling me she could tell I was losing weight because my face was slimmer. Mind you I had only lost 4.5 and was just over a week into my weight loss journey. It was a great feeling because I sure don't see it yet in the mirror.

    Mine's a small one: the sundress I had to have my husband zip up for me last year I can now do by myself. No groaning zipper!

    I just returned from 2 weeks of Australia/New Zeland trip. My NSV is I did not have to ask the air hostess for the seat belt extender. I could wear the seat belts comfortably. In the past, I had always felt ashamed to ask for the seat belt extender and now even though she was walking with a few, I don't have to ask for one. Getting up and sitting in the aeroplane seat(economy class) has become easy and comfortable as well. Felt so good.

    I got back into my size 0 skinny jeans that were sitting in my closet for months collecting dust.

    Mine happened just last week: I was able to run an entire mile without stopping once!!! It was so liberating and made me want to run more! :happy:

    I FINALLY broke a 10 minute mile on the elliptical. 9:54, but what's even better is I broke that again with 9:47. I know to many of you that's not very quick, but for a lady my size that is something I am proud of.

    (first post here - hello everyone)

    My first NSV was putting on my belt and not being able to get it tight enough - it ran out of holes and was still loose. I know that is not really a big deal but to me it was huge. :smile:

    My first NSV was when the size 34 pants that I was wearing were falling down so much that I had to make a belt outta yarn around the house!

    My favorite NSV was when I was visiting my grandfather in Kansas and he told me that I was looking really good!! That one is just a beautiful feeling whenever I think about it.

    I went shopping for an Easter dress on Saturday and couldn't get the one I really liked (an orange ruffly shift dress from Target) because they didn't make it any smaller than a size 2!! I know Target has size inflation and I'd probably still wear a 2-4 anywhere else, but it was a big win for Boyfriend to say, "That looks like it's too big. Let me go get the next size down" and then they didn't have it!!

    My first was being able to get my wedding ring on again. I lost that ability 10 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. My hands and feet have been losing weight really fast compared to the problem hips and stomach. My most recent was when a coworker told me I had to go out and buy new clothes because they could walk by me and pull my pants off. And yes I had to go from a size 10 to a size 6. Great day shopping!

    My Milestone NSV is when I broke the size 40 threshold for pants. I'm down to 36 now :D
