You soon will and it's those little nuggets that keep you going.
My hubby told me yesterday that the jumper I bought just before Christmas was too big for me now and I need to go and buy a smaller one
Do I have to Happy Weekend! Time to read through some threads that I could not catch up with during the week - and especially this one: Love it! You are all doing so well and it shows that not only the numbers on the scales are important.
Have only started mid January myself and considering the amount I need to lose I'm quite a bit off NSVs but am looking forward to it.

Plodding on.......
I love reading this thread but would like to add my bit today.
Today is my 6 month anniversary on SW and I feel GREAT.
I have lost 4 stone 6 lbs (obviously that is a 'scale victory') but my NSV's from this weekend are:
1. I can now fit into every piece of clothing in my wardrobe. Some of them haven't been worn for 10 yrs (and even then I only fitted into them for a few months). Some of them will be thrown out soon (!) but I can get into them.
2. I bought a pair of trousers in a size 14 yesterday - the first time ever in my life.
3. I have gone from size 24 bottom and 24-26 top and only able to shop in M&S (just) and plus size shops to a size 14-16 bottom, 16-18 top. Now I will be able to go into a whole load of shops that I haven't ever been into to buy clothes (when I finally pluck up the courage !)
4. I went for a run today and managed 13 mins in one go. Hoping to do a 10k run in the next few months.
Anyway, apologies for my shameless bragging but I am so happy and really looking forward to what the next 6 months will bring

Just over 25% of you has gone in just 6 short months

Pea on legs!
I've had a few this week - think I'm hitting that spot where people are really noticing!
First, at the football, two people commented that I looked great and asked if I'd lost weight! I also noticed that my seat felt bigger - no more pressing thighs with the people sitting next to me!
Secondly, I bought 2 jumpers in a 20 without trying them on and have had to take them back and change them for 18s. (I was a 24-26 on top when I started!)
Thirdly, my boobs finally stick out further than my belly! :8855:

Went to primarni (primark) this morning and tried on size 18 coat....it fit!!!!! Felt so good being able to buy clothes from there instead of having to go to the plus size sections in other shops!! I can now buy cheap clothes!!
