That's exactly what I thought as well!

It surprised me that the man on the picture is not your brother.


Congratulations! You look awesome!!

Well I had to bite the bullet this weekend and go clothes shopping, everything I had was seriously falling off.
My daughter took me into warehouse one, a store that she shops at which I have never been able to get clothes at due to my size. I have been in this store with her before and always felt that the sales people were wondering if I had mixed up the front doors as the peningtons (large size store) was next door.
It's so true that our minds take longer to process our weight loss as the feelings were still there. For the first time one of the sales girls came over and asked me(me!) if there was anything she could help me find. I asked for the capris and said I was a little unsure what size I would need. She looked at me and grabbed a few pairs of 14s, omg. I can't even begin to describe the feelings going through me..I could cry I'm so happy.
I'm still in shock, what an experience to buy clothes I liked and that actually fit well. This could become addictive

I love this thread as well!
BUMP!

MY NSV this week is that over the weekend, I was going through some clothes that my oldest daughter passed on to the youngest (she is a teenager), and I found some clothes that fit me! It's so fun to find a new wardrobe especially from your skinny teenager, lol. So naturally I had to point it out to my DH and tell him, see... this is why we keep clothes. As women, we fluctuate in sizes so much. And if I hadn't have kept them then we would be buying me new clothes this month, then next when I lose more. (he still thinks we should get rid of stuff though, lol.)

This AM I had to drop off a beneficiary change form for one of my retirement benefits at my former employer's HR dept. In the lobby I saw a man I used to to work with...and he gave me a bear hug...and said....."Where'd you go? You look great!!..."

Did a little closet shopping and got some great finds in my own closet!

I love to closet shop!

I had to removed 98% of my clothes in my closest because they do not fit *happy dance* my wallet doesn't like me right now as I had to buy new stuff but thats ok! lol

Also, and this may seem trivial, but I have a GAP between my legs when I stand. A genuine goodness to god gap!! I've NEVER had that even when I was a teenager. and I have it!!! WOOHOO!!!


lol

Nice NSV's! I especially like the one about the gap.

My NSV was this afternoon and I still can't believe it. Today I went to a function with a caterer, an entirely dessert buffet, and did not cheat. I brought a shake and did not cheat!! My first weigh in is tomorrow no matter how much I lost I am happy because I stood at the buffet passing out desserts and did NOT cheat. Hey did I mention I did NOT cheat!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!

Doesn't it feel awesome when you do right by you and support yourself ?
Great job!!

Amazing stories! This is so encouraging -- I like the reminder that not all victories are scale-related.

3 NSV's today!
1. Finally fit back into a few pairs of jeans that haven't seen the light of day in over a year.
2. One of my bosses looked at my today and called me the Incredible Shrinking Woman.
3. I have clavicle bones again!!!

Today's NSV: I work with kids, and one of the moms told me today that I need to go buy some clothes that fit. She said it out of kindness, but we both laughed. I promise my pants fit well when I left the house, but within a few hours, those things got baggy. I'm sure y'all know what I'm talking about.

"Baked Cookies" last night, twice! It was AWESOME.



It was a chore before IP and loosing so much weight!
