WOW!!! I chose these pants as my goal pants. They are still a little tight and probably in about 5 or so Lbs they'll fit ok. But WTH - I can get them on!!! I never dreamed... never.

Weigh day is one day and a wake-up. Looking forward to seeing what it says. Whooootttt!!! Consider this my 8th month check in. :-) Blessings y'all!!

Currents (Those are 8's):

I have been reading a lot of the stories here, I am just getting started in this process and I have a question. What is a NSV?

Thanks!

Hey FindingMe - thanks!! I kept a lot of old clothes from way back 20 years ago. Levi's are my absolute favorite jeans - no doubt about it. I have some super cute Levi's that I outgrew those 20 years ago and I always wanted to get back into them. Some are size 13's and some are 14's. I'm just now starting to fit into them, and those are such an achievement... I seriously started to think I'd never be able to again. Now these are back in the day before random and vanity sizing - so it's quite the accomplishment!!!

Hi Knee, welcome to the BEST support website you will find for the VSG! An NSV = Non scale Victory - for all the wonderful things that accompany weight loss, that is not defined by the scale.

HTH

As my friend MoMo would say, "you better work it hunny!" lol

Wowzers Irene!!! You are looking hot~!!! Congrats!!!!

I always thought NSV was "New Sleeve Victory" LOL

Irene your too much, a size 8 in Levi's is amazing!!!!!!! Levi;'s run smaller don't they??? I'm still in a size 12 so , hee hee. My ghetto booty is in the way I think. I have only been able to fit into 1 kind of size 8's. These vanity sizes are killing me. I want one size and be that size. But thanks for the idea of going out and buying goal sizes . Im gonna do that on Sunday but really don't know what size, whatcha think???? Your the same height as me too, whats your goal??? Dr set mine at 10, I think I'm gonna look like a crack head

You look fantastic!

NSV = Naked Sexy Vikings!!! )

You know what chica, I'm stopping at 4's myself. Those 4's I bought are really freakin tiny, and something else I noticed... Kohl's doesn't have anything smaller than a 4. NO WAY!! I don't care if I'm 180 and fitting those 4's that's going to be it for me. Plus, I just bought a small cardigan today from Nordstroms Rack and it fits. Crazy - I know this I'm very close to being done for real. Besides once I get the skin removed, that will probably take off about 10 Lbs right there... LOL

Kohl's is my favorite!! PS I'm already borderline looking like a crack head... lmao!

Congratulations on your NSV!!!! You look amazing in those jeans!

One question, how did you chose your goal size?

Lol yea I'm thinking a size 6 for me. Even though I think I was a size 6 at birth . Its crazy because my hip bones already stick out and the hubby can grab them. Once I can fit into more size 8's I'll be happier but just wish clothing makers would have a set way of sizing. You get so excited putting on a size 8 and then you cant even fit some size 12's WTH

Yeah that's pretty weird!!! LOL

You and Leslie are going to run out of misses sizes end up shopping in Jrs. department FOR SURE LOL!

Sorry to say that now I'm buying 6's in capris THERE IS NO GOOD SELECTION there, and 4's forget about it. I went to Ross today and there were like 5 size 6's to choose from, and at Marshalls there were a few more but not great. It's pretty sad.
