OMG!! NSVs Coming out of my ears this week!!!

OK, so I am having a stall again, the scale has not moved since before easter, BUT the last 3 days have been amazing for NSVs, so I'll bask in those a little instead!

Monday - (sorry this is reapeated form another thread) - I put on my work trousers only to find they don't touch ANYWHERE, not the waist, not the bum, not the thighs, I let go and they hit the floor, and they are not old trousers.

My 7 year old thinks this is hillarious, so much so that she tells everyone who will listen about it (I'm flattered, but gosh i hope she doesn't tell people every time I try something on and its too small!!)

Then I go to do the pick up from the childminders, and she greets me with "hello skinny"

Tuesday - I see my mum for the first time in 2 weeks, and she says "Claire you look amazing, you look really well, and you are getting so skinny!" (that strange word again!)

I then go to work, and am also told by my boss that I'm getting "Skinny" (thats 3 times in 2 days!)

Today - I try on old trousers that were painfully small a couple of weeks ago - hey presto perfect fit, I team them with a top which I normally only wear with tummy control underwear, and the top just kind of floats around me without the use of any hidden support!

I get to work and a colleague stops me in the corridoor and just starts pointing at me (I thought she was having some sort of breakdown), I asked what was wrong and she says "My god Claire, where has your stomach gone??? Its dissappeared!" I did resist the temptation to say it was in my surgeone's rubbish bin.

Finally I get home and change into my pyjamas, and realise that the only way they are staying up is with a belt - so here I sit in my comfy pj's and a fetching flourescent belt!!!:lol:

So with another 37lb to goal and a long long way from what I consider to be a normal weight, things are still pretty damn good!

Whooottt!! You're successes and NSV's are so much to be proud of!!! Congrats and here's to the next 37!! :D

That is SO terrific...no wonder you were excited! It also makes up for the darned scale not moving!

I had a funny NSV late last week in that I put on a skirt, blouse and sweater jacket that was always a little snug and like your story...it was clearly too big. But I was dressed and didn't want to change so I even commented to my husband as I left the house that this was the last time I would wear it and would put in the Goodwill bag when I got home. Later at work I was standing in my administrative assistant's cubical and she reached out and tugged on my skirt and said, "you are definitely losing weight...that dress is too big." My skirt dropped to my ankles with her slight tug! Fortunately I had a slip on and we both burst out laughing. :D Her cubicle is private so only the two of us watched me lose my skirt! That wouldn't have happened a few weeks ago!

Way to go!! Sounds like you're working your sleeve and will be at goal in no time.

Not much to say but...a toast to the new skinny lady! Congratulations on celebrating all of the victories!

awesome NSV's!! What a reward!

Way to go! Keep on rocking that sleeve!

Congratulations on a terrific week! Enjoy everyone of those NSVs and look forward to more in the weeks and months ahead!

Keep up the good work!

Brian

What great NSV's! You must feel great! Way to go! Those last pounds will be gone in no time!:D
