NSVs - Non Scale Victories

[MancBird]

Well done all, great NSVs!

I tried on the size 16s in Asda at lunchtime... and did them up... yes, I couldnt sit down in them, but they were ON for the first time EVER!!

They will be mine, comfortably... eventually...! xxxx

I looked in the mirror today and liked what I saw. The outside and the inside

Today I was described as being 'of slight build' by someone who didn't know me pre-SW

I don't think I have ever been "of slight build", not even when I was born lol. Go girl

Yay MancBird - you WILL get into those comfortably - and how good will you feel then ??!

Chris - your post really made me smile (inside and out). That's brilliant. Well done.

Well done everyone. Somethings really are better than the numbers we see on the scales. x

I said no two times this week and not let food temptations take over. it is so empowering and feels so good afterwards

My DAD asked if I'd lost weight.... and he's really not the type to a) notice or b) pay a compliment

Morning all
Hope we are all tucked up safe n warm...
Well I had to pop on and do a little :banana dancer:
The other week I fell in love with some clothes and decided to order a 16 ready to slim into ready for summer (taking advantage of the sales )-well the first bits arrived today and being a bit impatient I thought I would try them on and see how far off they were *truth be told I wasn't expecting to get them over my shoulders* -and oh boy -they fit :faint2: -and I mean FIT not tight or anything -although they will look better as I lose more and they are fuller......here are the 2 dresses ... and look everyone... Pretty colours -I am SOOOOOOO looking forward to not slopping around next summer in heavy black clothing ..

Its hubbies 1st works do next Friday and I have this to wear.. I haven't worn a dress since I got married 8 years ago -hubby couldn't get over it when he saw me in it :giggle:

Im still more of an 18 truth be told -but when I started out on SW 32 weeks ago I never believed I could get this far -at my biggest I was a size 32 -now I KNOW I will get to a healthy BMI and size I want to be..
Keep up the great work everyone - we are getting there!!!

well done everyone :happy096:
it's funny how we wear black when we r bigger i think it's because it makes us inconspicuous to other people, when i lose all my weight i am going to go and buy the brightest dress i can find no more hiding for me and no more being a wallflower :girlpower::banana dancer:

Hear hear, Valerie! I see lots of pink in my future

I've noticed that my skin has really improved (in general) I think I look brighter and less tired-y I guess? Anyway, a really pretty woman came up to me today and said "you have beautiful skin"....such a nice thing to say, huh? And at least I know I'm not seeing things, hehehe

i had the makeover photoshoot, and was pleasantly surprised with how i looked on the shots....much happier than the one i had just over a year ago.

My Nan ... (bless her heart .. love her to bits), is very dry, blunt and to the point ... and it`s normally the first thing out of her mouth ... "Oh you`re looking fat" (she doesn`t mean it nastily, it`s just how she is). She is very poorly at the mo, so i called to see her on Sunday .... and she said "Oh aren`t you looking slim" .... That to me is a huuuuuge deal .. for Nan to notice and say something x x

 

[shell_y]

Went to the doctors today to see the nurse and she said wow you have lost loads of weight and are looking fab

 

[dudette2001uk]

I've recently bought (and fit into!!) some size 16 jumper dresses and some size 16 trousers from New Look! Ooo, and some size 16 jeans! xx

 

[dudette2001uk]

Oh, and on a more ridiculous note, I managed to walk and dance on my high heels alllll night at the xmas party last friday, lol! :8855: This is a big achievement for me...especially when alcohol is involved! xx

 

[gl12282]

WELL DONE Shell_y, Daisy, Elle and Sian. You have all done brilliantly and deserve to feel (and look) amazing !

I fit into the size 12 trousers that I've had for ageeesss. It was meant to be a motivation to loose weight when I bought them back then. Pleasantly suprised about that.

Well done to everyone else!

I went wedding/bridesmaid dress shopping with my friend today. Almost every single off-the-hanger dress was too big for me, and I actually looked in the mirror and couldn't believe how tiny I looked - to the point where I now feel target may be far closer than I ever thought!!

 

[Daisysp8]

Ohhh thats a fab feeling isn`t it Laura ... i had the same not so long back, i still can`t believe it`s me when i look in the mirror


I had another NSV ... they`re coming thick and fast .. I saw my physio the other day, haven`t seen her for about 8 weeks, and the first thing she said "wow you`ve lost loads of weight, you`re looking fab" .... **whoop whoop* people are noticing !!!!!
