MissKay 329 Posted March 3, 2017 The clothes are a big NSV. But also, no need for seat belt extenders, I have to actually tighten them now.

ryan_86 335 Posted March 28, 2017 I jogged. I haven't jogged in years. I like doing it just for the novelty of being able to. 10 twin2855463, lolo85, linah and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The New Kel 1,312 Posted March 30, 2017 I love bagging up the fat clothes and getting rid of them FOREVER. It feels great! My latest NSV is weighing less than my husband. For the first time ever! I feel so much sexier being smaller than him finally. 14 Sonillo, Syaniya, IveGotThePower and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_86 335 Posted March 30, 2017 This happened months ago, but I still get a kick out of it: collar bones. I have them. Hadn't seen them in years. Every morning in front of the mirror, there they are. 20 Sosewsue61, eclecticavatar, Carol94303 and 17 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTink2LilTink 723 Posted April 5, 2017 I think my Ah Ha NSV moment came back about a year and a half ago when I could buy cheap $8 pack of underwear from Walmart. I knew then that I was now officially out of the Big & Tall stores only when it came to shopping for clothes. Now I am in suites, something that I think I wore maybe three times in almost 20 years, I've worn at least five times this year alone and we're aren't even in month number five yet out of the year. I have two custom tailored suites now, I hope by the end of the year I'll have at least five more to give me a suite for every day of the week. My next few NSV, which I am sure I can do now: Is to buy a complete from head to toe outfit from American Eagle or Abercrombie and Fitch. Outdoor Bike Trail Riding for 10 to 15 miles Do a photo-shoot. (Both clothing and nude photo-shoots. I have a bunch of photographer friends that will gladly do glamor shots of me) Actually attempt to do a 5K run. (Maybe in the fall) 6 o00, linah, IveGotThePower and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
