I've been saving my NSV's up, so here goes....
I've reached 2 years on plan
I've dropped 4 jeans sizes, soon to be 5!!
I've had my engagement ring made 4 ring sizes smaller!!
My wedding ring (that only just managed to fit on the day!) is now so loose, I've had to use my engagement ring to stop it flying off!!!
When I went on holiday in May, I could do up the seatbelt and tighten it, and not have to ask for the 'extender belt' (Why they have to make it bright orange, I'll never know!!)
I've been married 10 years
.... and It's my birthday on Sunday...
.... I told you I'd been saving them up!!!

I have some NSV's!
I have added two pairs of jeans onto the clothes exchange thread. Both a size 22 and were very snug on me when I started (snug reads unbreathably tight!!!). They both fell off me this morning when I stood up and they were still done up.
I got into a pair of size 18 jeans. Mucho muffin top going on but I got them done up and won't be long before they're comfortable!
I fitted into a pair of hubby's tracksuit bottoms this morning. He's a 34" waist (they're too big for him a bit, but still a 'M' is on the label!!).

Oh well done Selwonk!
Well I was all despondent over not losing anything for two months, then happy to lose 2lb this week.
Well today I measured myself and whilst I wasn't looking I only went and lost 2 inches off my waist and an inch off my hips! I did gain 1/2 an inch on my calves but that's all the running and they weren't fat to start with!

@Shirleen - Oh how wonderful! I've seen some of your frustration, so it's lovely lovely to see this for you
I've a not-really-scales victory to declare today; I work in a secure building and we've these tubes you go through to get in (so no one can tailgate you) and for reasons I've never really worked out all but two of them have a weight limit - I've never known what it is, just that I was too heavy for it and any time I tried to use a "normal" tube the alarm went off and I was mortified (it goes off to let security know there's an issue, but seriously, very embarrassing).
Today at lunch (no heavy bags...) there was a queue at the unrestricted tubes so I decided to be brave and risk it and WHEEEE I got through. I'll still be queuing when I'm bringing in my lunch, fruit and water in the am but other than that? No more waiting for me!

Wenchie, that brought a big smile to my face!!!! It's at times like this, when you feel 'normal' (though damn my conditioning that makes me think 'normal' is a good thing!), that make you feel AMAZING!!!!

Congratulations on being 'normal' - though I prefer the terms fantastic/amazing/incredible!
MODS - Sorry for the double post. It didn't look like it had done it, then I couldn't remember hitting the 'post reply' button....

heh! They're like a very low-tech star trek...
Ahh, even skinny minnies get their bags stuck, but it'll be lovely for you not to have to worry about that - it's one of the best things about shrinking, I think, not having to worry about fitting in/through things.

Yay... Just bought some size 14 skinny fit 'emo' style black jeans, fit no muffin top... Who would have thought I would get into these... So happy I could cry... xx

Heh, I've done that too with a few things... it's both marvellous and deeply irritating!
