Ok so i go yesterday to catherines (a plus size womens store) to use a gift cert i got for birthday to get a new bathing suit...they were out..so i start browsing the clearance rack (love love them!) and get me some smaller shorts and a shirt..im excited cause they are smaller so that was a NSV right there!!!:clap2:

Well...as im going to check out i see these other shirts that are soo cute and i dont have any like it so i see blue ( I always get pinks or orange or yellow lol) but they dont have any 4 or 5 x...:) so i get a 2 x and say to self" Ill wear this by next year!" and buy it as a goal shirt!:)

well I get home and am telling my mother over the phone about it sna she says "2x?? what will u do with it till u can wear it?? thats my size!" (shes had band work too but is struggleing but i think now that i have mine we will kick her in gear!)

well we laugh and i hang up,,and get to thinking..ill try it on and see just how tight it is and see how much i got to go till it fits right...

**Drum roll Please**

:clap2: THE SHIRT FREAKING FITS!!!!!!!!:clap2: Happy fat girl dancing all over the place!!:scared:

Went from a 5x shirt in may to a 2x shirt in july!! Yea it maybe how its made but i doubt it cause its a fitted type shirt BUT i dont give a damn its still a 2x!!:clap2:

That is great. When I saw your pics the other day I was going to tell you to go clothes shopping because they were too big on you! That is wonderful news! Keep working and its a good idea to buy a size down...it keeps us motivated! That is what I am going to do next week. I'm close to wearning 20s..probably 15 lbs or so. Good job!

You go girl!!!!!!!!!! I was in 5x in May too but, I havn't been clothes shopping yet. I got a gift certificate for Catherines for Mother's Day but, I find I don't want to buy something I will soon not fit into. However, I am barely fitting into my bra so.....maybe a trip to Catherine's is in order after all.

Their end of season sales ROCK!

Ok, So I'm kinda new here..... sorry if this sounds dumb but what does NSV mean?? Congratulations on the smaller size. I was banded on June 20th and am already down over 25 pounds from my high point. Made an unplanned trip to a local store just before the 4th of July and bought a pair of denim shorts, ONE size smaller and was so excited! I know in the beginning it will go a little faster, but I'm ready for the slow months too. It took years to get to this point and it's not going to disappear over night. I know it's not going to be easy all the time, but I'm ready! Again, congratulations!!! When I get this all figured out, I'll try posting a picture. Soooo glad I found this website!

You look gorgeous Christy! Congratulations on your new shirt. It looks wonderful on you. Way to go!

(Barb, NSV means "non scale victory" -- i.e. those little (and not so little) things other than the number on a scale that show progress as you've lost weight. My most recent one is being able to walk straight into my narrow-doored bathroom rather than hind of angling my hips to pass through. I'm no longer "wide as a door"!!)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
