I had an interview today and I wore a suit dress that doesn't hide my belly bulge at all because it is one piece and it is light gray. I was nervous about wearing it, but both at my current job and at my interview I was complemented on how great I looked and that my outfit was cute! Success!!!!!!

thought i'd revive this thread with my NSV!
Today was the first time i've tried on my wedding dress since my wedding (feb 06), since then i had an ectopic, had a baby, gained 40lbs, lost 40lbs, so i wondered if it fit. I am the exact weight i was on our wedding day, but since having kids its not all in the same place, BUt, it fit! Not that i'll ever wear it again, but just knowing it fits feels good.
Yesterday, I went shopping with my brother, his girlfriend, and one of her friends. I was trying on some of they coats at Wal-mart. They have a nice black peacoat with pink lining. I tried the large and it fit! I also wanted to try the white coats, which I could never own because it wouldn't last a week with my two boys, but they only had them in small and medium. I really liked the coat and figured, why not. It's not like I was really going to buy it anyway, might as well try it on... I actually wasn't even expecting to get it on my arms so easily, but I did! I wasn't able to button it, it needed about an inch more to fit around my lower belly/hips. I was just happy to be able to even get it on!
aangel....how much were the peacoats at Walmart? I need a new winter coat badly because I have lost 40 pounds and a couple of sizes since last winter, but I don't want to shell out a lot of money for a nice winter coat.
My NSV for the week was that I was standing in one of the house offices waiting to talk to the freshman assistant principal about setting up a meeting for one of my students. While waiting, I was talking with the secretary, who is one of the sweetest, grandmother-type women anyone could ever meet. We were talking about different things and out of nowhere, she just blurted out, "You're losing weight....you look wonderful!" Haha, I just wanted to hug her right there
My NSV - It's REALLY cold right now, especially last night. Driving home from work I saw a man on the side of the road (middle of no where) pushing his truck!!! So I turned around and asked if he needed any help. Turned out he was a cute man He said help was on it's way, but I felt good that I didn't just leave him like the other cars that were passing by.
my nsv -- just feeling good being at goal. hoping to stay here despite being mired in the muck of the end of the semester (read: last night's dinner was chex mix and cookies).
i'll be heading home soon and would really like to look as good then as i do now. And an extra 3 lbs makes a difference! Gotta remember that...
Today I was able to take my size 14 pants off without unbuttoning them. I've also been wearing my skinny jeans on a more regular basis. Also one more thing I thought my weight was up to 173 but it must have been because of TOM because today I was back down to 169.

Between $35-$50. I love peacoats. I had one when I was in high school up until last year and I just haven't been able to get a new coat until now. I haven't gotten it yet, but it is on my Christmas list!
1. Last week, I dared myself to try on a pair of size 12 jeans & they fit!!!!
2. My mom bought me a peacoat for Christmas. I tried on the 12/14 knowing it would fit, but parts of it were too big. So, I tried the 8/10 on & it fit too!!!
