I brought some 'super skinny' jeans - and they look rather good even if I say so myself, and I found some size 16 deniem shorts in Dorethy Perkins which fit very nicely in a 16. Absolutely loved going in to shops knowing I could fit in to their clothes (excluding H n M and Top Shop trousers!). After being 'plus size for most of my life, at least since I was 17, it was a tad overwhelming and spent 4 x my budget... oopsy .....

Firstly can I just say that I love this thread!! My NSVs are that I can get my rings back on 
Also I got into my size 16 denim hotpants for the first time in a loooong time! I had a muffin top issue going on but hey I fastened them I want to be a size 14 with no muffin top so got some way to go .

My latest NSV: I've been on the prowl for a coat for winter that's pretty damn cheap that I won't necessarily be able to wear next year! I found one today in Tesco in a size 12, I repeat a size 12 that actually fits nicely!! OK I'm not going to get too excited and pretend it's Chanel, or Jane Norman size 12, but I'm very very chuffed considering last year I was shopping for size 20! Lovely feeling that's made my day!!X

Wow! that is some NSV. I can't imagine getting into a size 12 myself (but maybe this time next year I'll be posting a similar thing) Well done on your amazing weight loss.

I can't wait til people start noticing my weight loss. It makes the sacrifices well worth it.

It won't be long hun! Some people seem to be more perceptive and tuned in than others about people's weight I find! It wasn't for a good stone and a half before most people really started noticing mine! It is a lovely feeling, but watch the ones that say "Oooh you don't want to lose any more!!" Those are the enemy lol!!X
PS note same height and similar start weight! But very different start DATE!X

Congrats!! It's a lovely feeling isn't it!! And the coat looks amazing! There's a similar one in Principles for £100 so I think you're onto a winner there!!! And what a difference in you! You look fab!XXXX

Pretty good NSV for me today. One of the main goals I had was to get back into old clothes that I bought the last time I lost a lot of weight (pre DD2) and today while looking for something else I found two pairs of trousers, one a fairly rigid pair of combat pants and one pair of really nice soft cords, both a 14. The rigid combat pants were never "comfortably" on the first time I used them, even at my lightest.
I get into both comfortably. So thats them back in circulation They were the smallest of my old things I couldnt wear so now I can have a good clear out of the too big stuff and make space for the smaller stuff. Hurray!

Hey, you've done really well...can't wait til I get to my target weight. You're nearly there. I'm giving myself a year to do it, then hopefully I can relax a little.
I think like most people though I want it off NOW! But I'm just carrying on in the hope my body decides that a 4lb a week loss is normal lol. As if x
