My first NSVs!-updated with pictures

For whatever reason I was scared to try on the other clothes sitting in my closet. I have been walking around in these size 20 jeans that were literally falling right off my body. I kept thinking there was NO way the other clothes would fit yet and I didn't want to be disappointed in trying them on and it not working out.

So yesterday I looked in the closet and I finally gave in and decided to try on a pair of size 18 jeans that haven't fit me in quite some time, thinking maybe I could finally button them up. Um yeah, they were falling off too! Tried another pair today that were not a true 18, more like a 16 and guess what! THEY FIT! So I went to the thrift store today to look for some Church clothes and found a really pretty size 14/16 lacy skirt/shirt combo, thinking no way would it fit for at least another month and I was a little nervous because of the type of material thinking it would cling too much to my body but for $5 I couldn't pass it up. Well I tried it on and it fit too! It has been YEARS since I could fit in a size 16 anything and I have no idea how long its been since I could fit a 14 or smaller. I'm just shocked.

AND my husband who is not one to give compliments keeps telling me how small I am getting when he hugs me. LOVE hearing that.

I've had so many friend from Church comment on me wasting away, it makes all the complications seem not near as bad as they were last week ;)

I'm already over half way to my goal and only 7 weeks out. I cannot believe how quickly its gone and how much my body has changed. Wish I could figure out how to get my pics smaller to post my beginning pics and my new pics. Hopefully soon I will figure it out.

I am loving these NSVs way more than the scale victories that is for sure.

edit-Pictures are a few posts down :)

GREAT NSV's! I have not changed sizes yet but hope it will be very soon! Keep up the good work!

Hey Sasi, great NSV's!!! Congrats I bet you're feeling amazing! :)

As far as the pictures, you will have to resize them on your program or whatever you're using to edit your photos on your computer. I just use simple ole MS Paint, it does everything I need it to. I usually Stretch/Skew to 25% and that seems to work perfectly.

I hope to see some updated photos soon!!!

That is wonderful news, congrats!! You deserve this after that rough start! I'm so happy for you! And it sounds cute at a steal of a price.

:hippie:
