Ooh, got a few NSVs today.
1st of all got a size 18 top as that was the largest left in stock, it fits albeit snugly. Then I tried on the jeans I wore pre-pregnancy & they fit, also size 18-not thinking about the muffin top! Then it was on with some old trousers & tops, again they fit. Finally there was the brand new pair of jeans & a couple of other things which were in the drawer under the bed waiting for me to slim into them-all too big

I dont know if this really counts but here goes...
Last night we went to see Alan Carr in Manchester (he was fab!) I didnt have any tea, so when we got home everyone started ordering chinese - i promptly went to bed before i indulged! Feels like such a victory to be in control of what i'm eating. I'd gotten so ridiculously out of control, eating anything & everything - that not having chinese (my fave!) feels like i've overcome something huge! And i feel great today for it!

Brilliant, I think the best part of that is the fact you felt in control rather then deprived...well done x

Just moved back into my uni house. Went shopping and picked up an Iceland stuffed crust four cheese pizza. Walked around with it....and put it back.

I, rather optimistically, bought a couple of pairs of size 12 trousers the other day, hoping that they'd spur me on. I decided to try them on this morning.... and they not only go over my thighs, but they do up!
OK, I'll admit they're so tight that I look like a sausage, lmao, but I was so pleased - I can't wait until they fit properly

Hi everyone...I had the most wonderful NSV of my journey so far....I started my journey at a whopping 31st 7lb and a size 38/40 (well that was the size clothes I squeezed into )...joined SW when I was 25st 3lb and at that time my daughter gave me a gorgeous dress well, at the time I was a size 30/32 and I couldn't even get it over my shoulders, anyway...I am now just in my teens, 19st 12lb and decided to try the dress on ...and I got it on...doesn't look wonderful and I am not kidding myself I am a size 20, but the point is I got it on..omg at this rate I will definitely be a size 18 by Christmas and hopefully at my goal of 12/14 by August when my youngest daughter gets married ...I am so excited xx

Never gets tired of SW!
I had a lovely experience on Saturday! I was singing in a choir concert and we had a big buffet afterwards in our village hall! One of the ladies helping to serve the food at the buffet who I've only met recently said "quiche Heather?" I said "Ooh I'd better not thanks"and she replied "why not?" I said "I've got to weigh on Monday"! This is the clanger.....she said "why on earth do you need to worry about your weight?!" I then told her! I LOVE it when people who didn't know me pre-weight loss make comments like that as that's when I truly believe I'm slim!! X
B's lovely lady

I am counting this as a NSV. After starting the gym last week I went yesterday but it was so busy with all these really slim people that I only did a couple of things and then left as I just felt a bit intimidated. But I went back today, a bit earlier and managed to do most of my program and i feel so much better about it.
