Non Scale Victory

I went into BeMe today cause they had a sale on & tried on jeans, grabbed a couple of sz 24's and took them to the change rooms... they were too big, I had the biggest smile on my face when I went out to get a sz22 & just to be cheeky grabbed a sz 20... low & behold the 20 fits (admittedly snuggly) so I bought them... I haven't worn sz20 since I was 20-21yrs old... have I mentioned lately I LUV MY SLEEVE!

Oh Emily, that's priceless xxx

My dimples have returned. In my cheeks, that is - guess the chub disguised them. Dimples on my butt unfortunately never left....

Well done both kylie and unicorn.......my bras are on the second hooks and are comfortable....unbelievable

How lucky you weren't wearing a skirt!!! LOL

Whilst out shopping during the week I could feel my underpants start to slip..and slip they did. Thank goodness I had jeans on or they would have fallen off. I thought maybe the elastic had broken..But no they were just too big WOOHOO. I have never had to buy a smaller size of anything in my life. What an amazing feeling

I sat in a chair at an angle, previously was wedged in straight between the armrests. Woo hoo.

I am wearing my wedding ring for the first time since pregnant with miss 10.... and i am pre sleeve.....

bugger!!! will have to have it resized later

Wedding rings, plane seats & bathers congrats to us all....

Thanks Carly, and what a great NSV for you to be able to wear your rings again.

Libby That Is Fantastic!!!!!!

Today-I was able to get my wedding and engagement rings back on! Yipee, and thank goodness as it's my anniversary on Monday.

Bought a pair of bathers today......in a size 14 my last pair were a size 22.

Yes the plane is a big one for everyone I think

When I went to Melbourne in May I was stuck in the MIDDLE......between two quite large people, I felt like the skinny in the middle, would have been VERY uncomfortable if I was still big!

Sat there with a huge smile on the inside!!

good one, jan - the plane is always a big one, isn't it?

Another milestone for me.... On a plane yesterday, window seat, and there was no need for me to lean into the window to keep away from my seat mate. Plenty of shoulder room.... Woo hoo.

Oh, wow! Crossing my legs - I can only wish for it. That is one big thing that I had really forgotten to put on my "to do" list, so thanks for the memory.
Congratulations on all you below who have had so many nsv's - I look forward to adding a few of my own in just over a month or so.

Yeah Chris it was really funny with the crossing of the legs as l interupted the conversation l was having with my friend to say YAY l have crossed my legs. She understood as she is overweight too.The funny thing was l didnt even know that l ha done it until l looked down at my crossed knees, Such a small thing but it mademy day

Daisy

i still am amazed that i can cross my legs again - and it wasn't even one of the things i was aiming for. and every day i am still surprised at being able to use the 'little' towels - or wrap the 'big' ones around me twice!

Good positive stories.... My adult son said to me tonite...... U don't look like u any more.....

I can't wait until I can turn over in bed without sitting up first...

NSV for me tonigh was that l wrapped a normal size towel around me and tucked it in YAY
and l was away at a Patchwork Camp a couple weeks ago and talking away to a friend and looked down and realized that l had crossed my legs, which l got pretty excited about Yeah l know dosent take much does it

This morning DH said to me, "you can really tell how skinny you're getting, I don't have to sit up in the middle of the night to look at the bedside clock anymore".

That is priceless, I too have my alarm clock on my bedside table and now realise why my husband keeps asking me what time it is! lol

Woo hoo kasey, way to go.....

MAJOR NSV for me today.

I was helping Mr 4 with his artwork at his little table and had to stop sitting on his hard little chair because my butt was TOO BONY!
Who would have thought THAT would happen in under 4 months?

Opposite for me, its got worse!
Losing all that fat, everything just fell out.........sorry TMI

I have just had surgery for a bladder prolapse.
