Non Scale Victory

First topic message reminder :

After reading how well Chris is doing with NSV's I thought I would love a thread where we could post NSV's like getting into clothes ect.

Us pre-ops could post nsv's that we are looking forward to or would love.

So what have your NSV's been or what NSV's would you like?

Oh, Bella, it's so long since I've worn heels that I'm afraid if I got into them now I'd fall flat on my face. Flatties rule!
(and I'm short too, but I don't care)
Chris

oh me too Chris ! The price of a few more pairs of shoes is pretty cheap compared to the price of fat feet - heehee

I also noticed that when i was much heavier....i was only comfortable in flat shoes.....(which look totally gross on me as im a shortcake....my own perception - of me of course...its funny how flat shoes always look great on other shortcakes though - so totally not fair !).....anyhoo......now im comfortable wearing a higher heel.....i cant wait to hit the shops in a few weeks to find them !

hugs gal
Bella ....xx

Oh, the shoes has been one for me too, Bella - and after I bought another pair of the great summer sandals I got last year on sale, too! Ah well, it's a price I'm glad to pay...

My shoes are too big !! lol

Some of them anyway .... they are too loose to wear.....yikes even my feet were fat !! lol

I love that word.... 'were' .... hehe

hugs
Bella

Well Done Everyone! Its so nice to be able to have something go right for us/ something to feel good about!

Great NSVs, girls - I love fitting into small clothes, don't you? And don't worry about the conflicting sizes - I've just gone down to a 14, but still wear some 16s, and a pair of shorts I bought a year ago in Cairns, marked size 20, finally fit me! LOL
Chris

Fantastic news Tamara and Gail.

Well done to both of you.

Hugs,

Awesome Gail. That is fantastic!!!

Hi everyone,

My latest NSV was that one of the bankers at work asked me yesterday about how quickly was I having to replace my clothes at the moment. He said that in past 2-3 weeks you can really notice the weightloss and shape change. Now I work in the world of investment banking and these guys can be pretty self centred, so it came as a great surprise to hear one of them say something complimentary.

This also gave me a buzz as I still see the hefferlump in the mirror even though its a reducing hefferlump!! But it has helped me see the difference.

Cheers
Gail

Great NSV's everyone.


Everyone seems to be racing through the clothing sizes lately.
I have a clothes related NSV too, I bought some jeans today and they are a size 12!!!!

Only last week I was having a whinge because I bought some shorts to take away on our KL trip and I had to buy a 14 (obviously the shorts were a smaller make than the jeans).

thanks guys, I did have luck pants hunting and got two pairs of jeans for $90 (a little expensive but there are none in my size in town AT ALL) but they are size 20's (always had a bigger bum half) but after coming down from 26+ im happy, so hoping they last more than a couple of weeks LOL but should be good for my month of travels... neice's bday party, and weekend in Sydney for rugby yay!

Fantastic news BG and Lib. Go you two.

Hugs,

How wonderful for you both - size 16 rocks, doesn't it? LOL
Hugs
Chris

BG and Lib - congratulations to you both.

Isn't it great that we're saving money on food, because we sure aren't on clothes!!!

Well done to both of you.

Hugs
Caz

Congrads its just seems so liberating wen you are able to get such samaller sizes

Goodluck with your trouser hunting

Cheer Sue

Thats great BG! I know what its like I only have 2 pairs of pants that fit at the moment. I am now a size 16 and most of my clothes are 22's! I hear you on hopin to speed summer along, I can't wait for the warm weather and to be able to get around in my swimmers. I might even go a bikini this year!!!

I Have an NSV I'd like to share... I went into town today as I have now got nothing at all that fits, and stays up! I bought 4 new tshirts.... Hoping to speed summer along.... and they are size 16 from autograph. When I began I was a 26+ from autograph. I'm so happy, and they were on sale for $4.95 each! Now This afternoon after work, I am going hunting for some trousers... I'm sick of my pants falling down! and why not some new undies too... mine are beginning to fall down! YAY FOR SLEEVES!!

Good one, Shanna! Don't you love being able to buy smaller and cheaper? Fantastic!
I remember when I shopped for my cruise 19 years ago and I was a size 18-20 and could hardly find anything to wear (they didn't have those sizes around much then).
Hugs
Chris

Hey Shanna, glad you are enjoying the shopping. What a great victory it is to only buy clothes that we like and that flatter our bodies instead of anything that fit- especially when they are fantastic bargains. Well done!

I have been shopping quite a bit lately to get ready for the trip and trying to find nice looking clothes at really cheap prices because the summer is half over and I hope that everything I am buying now will get tossed out by next summer. So a lot of my non scale victories have to do with getting cute stuff on amazing sales-
The non scale victory part is that before- if I could find something, anything that covered my body I bought it -
at any price- in any color- just to get out of the store with all those glaring lights and mirrors...
Now I just linger, and linger and try on everything... then I walk out of the store with just one or two items that I was able to snap up at a steal.
Can't wait until I can fit into a really tiny size- you know- the sizes that are always on the sale rack because very few people can make it into them- course I am talking about shopping in a regular misses store here- not the chicky shops as you Aussies call them. I am 53 so I can't imagine every walking into a chickie store and looking at the really tiny sizes- but Ann Taylor Loft- watch out - here I comeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yay Lib! I bet it has been a while since you have felt full of food like that- even if it was only a tiny bit. Hope it stayed down OK and didn't disagree with you.

Sue- that's great about being able to cuddle your grandson on the rocking chair. It's been perfect weather for snuggles lately too.

Well done Lib and Sue. Both great NSVs.

I hope it continues to get better for you Lib.

Hugs,

Well done Lib. I hope you are over the worst now.

Yah Lib that is a big NSV for you hope it will be a bit more soon

My NSV is i can sit on my rocking chair with my 2 1/2 year old grandson next to me not on my lap comfortably now ive been doing this for a little bit but it didnt really pop into my head last night wen he stayed the night its a nice feeling

I *think* I got full from dinner tonight. I figure thats an NSV for me!! I had a couple of tiny bits of steak some steamed vegies and some mashed vegies. Yay go me!!!

I was just thinking - perhaps I can turn shopping into exercise!!!!!
