@@tomi71, Was it Groundhog Day? :D Something is really going on with this site. Lots of people are having problems with multiple postings.

I had an experience similar to yours in Ross. But it worked to my benefit. The XL jacket was mis-sized and had been placed on clearance. I got it for a steal!! Like you, I didn't care what size it said, I just liked the jacket (and the price).

NSV shout that I can wear thong sandals because before I was so heavy my weight pushed down on my feet and made them cut the inside of my toe.

My mom bought me some boots from Target on clearance and they are knee-high, usually there is no way in hell those things would actually zip over my calf, but these did!! Same thing with another pair she bought me from Sheik. I now own more boots than I ever have in my life but have always wanted to but couldn't because of my big calves.

Working out doesn't make me feel like I'm going to die, though it does still hurt, but that is the point right? No Pain No Gain?!

The guy I'm seeing right now can move me around easily when cuddling, and does just for fun.

I don't hate any of my clothes. I don't have to buy things that are "fat flattering".

I'm in the overweight BMI category and I don't remember this weight ever in my life.

I have more energy to play with my nephews and coach softball.

So I'm on vacation this week, and I was 1 dress short for an event. I was able to shop out of my sister's closet (something I haven't been able to do in a LONG time) and fit an XS dress!

Today is Crazy Shirt Friday at my office. This is a fun group activity that I'm trying to keep going through the Spring and Summer. In anticipation, I went to a thrift shop yesterday and got 7 wild and crazy blouses for $20. This could not have happened last year. I had to buy my clothes online and at plus size stores. I never would have found 7 different items that would fit in an impromptu stop at a thrift shop!

@karlam29. Isn't your dress lovely! Have you already had your big day? If so, I am sure that it was great! A new life! I want to fit back into my wedding dress. My husband and I were married 20 years ago.

Hi - my best NSV so far -- was feeling very fit at the gym, so afterwards decided to pop in to Dress Barn to see if I was down a pants size. YES I WAS! Now wearing size 10 petite! I cried in the fitting room. Arrived at the hospital last August in size 22 pants. Never, in my entire teenage or adult life have I been a 10. Someone at work asked me when I was going to stop losing. I told her when I no longer cast a shadow!

I was sitting in an Atlantic city Hotel room yesterday when my husband came out of the bathroom and said "do you have any idea how great you look and do you realize you are sitting there with your legs crossed?" WOW it was a good day!!!

8 months ago, the biggest belt I own didn't quite fit. This week, it doesn't quite fit. :D

I found a cute white denim skirt and tried on the size small. It was too big. maybe it was mis-sized, but I'm taking it as an NSV anyway. A year ago I could not have squeezed into it at all.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
