NSV shout outs

[aliekat55 157]

I was working on my daughters CRV in the garage and did not mean to park it so close to the garage door frame. I saw the space and first I walked around the other side, then without thinking i walked through the space that was clearly much too narrow for me without greasing my self up and getting two people to push me through it. However, i walked so easily through the gap that i only realized later that i had done it. Wow. I fit in narrow spots--go figure.

Loving this thread! I think the NSVs might even be more rewarding than the scales because they are tangible. Had my first experience of not being able to put the armrest all the way down on a recent flight because of these bloody hips...SO demoralizing! So I am eagerly awaiting that particular NSV (and many others!), as so many have described. Great job y'all!

Happy dance for the NSVs!!

My husband kissed me goodnight last night & I realized his hands rested comfortably on my waist. Didn't realize I had a waist. Then when he pulled me into a hug and his arms reached all the way around me easily I just melted. It was so sensual and an eye opener for me. I feel sexy again!

I'm 23 and have been with my bf 2 years now. We always hang out with his guy friends and they bring their girlfriends along. They are all skinny and beautiful, I've always felt like gosh I'm the ugly fat gf , my bf deserves a hot gf like his friends do...anyway we went out dancing this sat. and his guy friends have not seen me since I've lost 88 pounds because I'm living in a different state right now. The entire night they kept saying omg you are a bombshell! You look amazing! And kept telling my bf your gf is so bangin! You lucky bastard!

Man do I feel like one of the sexy girlfriends now and am excited to say my bf has the hot gf he deserves

only three weeks out yet NSV's are all over the place. I need to focus and note them and not take them for granted. I was sitting on a wooden chair at the dinning room table and was uncomfortable, finaly i figure it was because by BFB was so much smaller that the presure on my sitting bones was uncomfortable! go figure.

I now have definition over my Quads- never seen that before.

Big success was not weighing in for three days now. I find that it plays games with my mind no matter what the number is.

I am now to the point that most people have never seen me so thin. Last time I was this weight I was about 6 months pregnant with my now 24 year old daughter.

Yesterday I saw someone who I hadn't seen in about a year. I said hi. Then he looked and said "you've lost a lot of weight, I didn't recognize you until you spoke to me and wouldn't have recognized you if you hadn't spoken to me.

I am now walking if it's less than half a mile and riding my bike up to 13 miles a day sometimes.

I am fitting (barely) in a pair of 10 jeans. They are stretch jeans but not a lot of stretch. I fit well in size 12 now. I have to buy new panties because size 7 is too big now. I'm hoping to go from a 34DD to 34D soon. 34D is much easier to find than 34DD.

I've bought a journal to keep track of the NSVs (and other things)...that way on my tough days, I have an instant pick-me-up to help me through

I really enjoyed going to Good Will, picking up a pair of size 12 jeans, couldn't find the lady with the key to try them on. Figured I would risk it and bought them. Got home and they were actually a bit baggy I wore a 24 before surgery, it just absolutely amazes me. I recently ordered medium scrubs online, worried they would be too small. They fit with more room than the 2x's I wore before surgery. I LOVE my sleeve!!!

You must be about the same height as me. I am a 12 now too and I'm at 163. I have a pair of 10s that fit but they are too tight to wear, but I can zip and button them. I'm 5'0".

[Globetrotter 1,340]

Pinky, I am 5'3" and at my lowest (167) I had a pair of size 10 Levi's. With all the extra skin and lower stomach pouch, I wasn't comfortable wearing them with a t-shirt or blouse, but I found light and pretty tunics that hit just at the crotch and those were perfect, let me show off my size 10 legs and booty!

A GUY CHECKED ME OUT!

A GUY CHECKED ME OUT!

It's those size 10 jeans isn't it?

NSV for me -- new workout clothes! I looked at myself in the gym mirror and realized that in my 3-sizes-too-big shorts and t-shirt, I just looked like Sponge Bob Squarepants. I was just square, and looked like a sad ragamuffin, like I was in someone else's clothes.

So this weekend I resolved to buy new shirts/shorts. Such a revelation -- looking good at the gym! I accused Nordstrom's of installing the skinny mirrors in the activewear dressing rooms, because darn, I looked GOOD in Large capri's and dri-fit shirt. But the outfit looked just as good in my true-to-life mirrors at home. Wow! Now let's see if it looks that good at the gym tomorrow!

I can't believe how much I walked today. First I walked to McDonald's (.62 miles) , I usually get an egg mcmuffin and eat it open faced.

From there I went about three blocks to the Kroger. Didn't buy anything because what I wanted was perishable and my thought is I needed to go to the bathroom. I was on my way to the bus stop to go to Walmart to get a few things. I stopped at the dollar store and got some small food containers that I'm going to use for my soap making.

But it is Sunday and the buses don't come but once an hour so I decided to start walking and see how far I got.

The total walk from McDonald's to Kroger, walking around Kroger and then walking to the bus stop and then walking down three more bus stops I estimate by mapmywalk.com to be (1.51 miles) not counting walking around I did at a Dollar Store and Walgreens and then I walked around in Walmart and carried two bags of groceries to the bus stop. Then I sat down. Waited for the bus and hoped on and rode to a place that was about 3 blocks from my house (.72 miles). Then I walked to the Neighborhood Walmart (one nearer our house but doesn't have what I needed earlier from the big Walmart) and got some milk for steel-cut oatmeal.(.75 miles again). I think I walked at least 4 miles today.
