wynblade 14 Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) I just wanted to share my nsv with everyone. I've lost more than 50 pounds since I started this journey its been slow going and kinda frustrating but I'm really seeing results in my body. I started this process as a size 24 on the bottom inching towards a 26. Now I sit solidly in 18! Which means of shrunk out if every piece of bottom wardrobe I own lol. ...What a wonderful problem to have :-) My biggest challenge now is to find the mythical size 18 Jean at thrift stores. I would love to hear stories about others nsv, who else has shrunk out of their pants?

The Laughing Cat 54 Posted May 2, 2014 Keep it up! I bet you'll shrink through many sizes on the way to your goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teachamy 1,042 Posted May 2, 2014 When i started, I was a tight 16. I had some size 31 jeans (12) put away, hoping that SOMEDAY I'd fit into them. Now it's 4.5 mos. after surgery, and those 12's are getting super loose! Buy yourself a good belt, girl. You'll need it! 2 Jenuine629 and gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr-Patient 830 Posted May 2, 2014 I've been digging in plastic bins all afternoon, finding pants, shorts, tops that I can take to the beach next week for a conference. I've gone from a 22/24 to a 14/16 and had packed away many pieces that I can now wear. Sweet. Sadly (but not quite), I'm also finding 22/24s that I never wore because I was so depressed, I didn't want to go outt and be seen by anyone. Will add them to the garage sale pile. I also bought two new bathing suits today. Size 16 for one; size 14 for the other. Just enjoy the journey! 2 Teachamy and gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slvrsax 301 Posted May 2, 2014 I realized this week that my 16W were falling off me to the point that I just can't wear them anymore. The big (first world) problem I have is finding the time to shop, between working 11 hour days and my commitment to exercise 5 hours a week. There just isn't time to shop! (I know - tough problem). Size 18 is hard to find. Old Navy carries that size in the store. The Rockstar Jean is great and affordable. If you have a Macy's, Style & Co. and the Inc. brand both have size 18 in the misses section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kindle 8,667 Posted May 3, 2014 I was in 22 when I started. Fortunately I had jeans I never threw out as I grew, so I was good through 20 and 18. I had one pair of 16's that I wore for about two weeks at the end of my last diet before gaining back into 18's. I managed to find 1 other pair 16 at the thrift store. Those are now getting loose and I bought two pairs of 14's on eBay. Needless to say I do a lot of laundry! And I just went through my closet and every pair of summer pants/capris/shorts I own now fall off me. So yeah, I'm almost pant-less, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barbarah 18 Posted May 3, 2014 I just took a break from cleaning my closet! Went from. 24/26 to 12/14. It was packed full of clothes thAt still had the tags on them. I tried to shop for some new clothes but The problem is that nothing really fits right. I guess things will even out eventually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like everyone is doing great! I find its both sad and fun to go through my clothes (I tend to get attached to my word robe lol) but I've had friends I let pick through the old stuff... she's waiting eagerly for me to get rid of some of my high end stuff Edited May 5, 2014 by wynblade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
