I just came from the movie theatre and I didn't have to sit down at an angle to fit in the seat.

I put on my bra and instead of using the last hooks I was able to go to the first set of hooks... (Almost time for bra shopping) so excited

I have become very aware and sensitive to people I am close to who still struggle with these issues. My brother and my best friend are both considerably overweight. When I'm out with either one of them I make an effort to ask for a table instead of a booth so they'll be more comfortable. I remember what it was like to not fit in a booth!

People don't get this. Everything I go out to eat with people, they want to sit in a booth, meanwhile in my head, I'm praying I'll fit!

I still think seeing people i hadn't seen in a while who didn't know who I wasmade me feel good. Also, nothing beat sitting in a roller coaster seat for the first time in years. I missed that so much!

My best NSV yet....no more ppi's....dr. removed me from all Gerd related meds today!!! Now if I could get rid of these pesky allergies I'd be med free!

I have a neck and collar bones:)

I am SO looking forward to this!!! My surgery is June 3rd. I LOVE this topic. So inspiring!!! Thank you!

Leticiahuggins your going to have stalls but you broke it congrats great job .

I fit in a booth at a restaurant!!

My husband rolled over in bed last night and rested his hand on my hip. All the sudden I heard "Hey, you have hip bones!"

1)I'm still plus size, but now i can shop at any place that has plus sizes, not just Avenue and Catherine's because they have aize 30/32.

2)went to a texas rangers game...and fit in the seat.

3) booths no longer flip me out.

4)slowly starting to be able to run.

I've had a few in the last couple of weeks

1. No more bra extender!

2. I am able to run! I ran 20 minutes straight on the treadmill without wanting to die.

3. This weekend I learned that I have sized out of the Plus Size selection at Forever 21 (My favorite store even though I'm 28, OH WELL!) I'm still too big for most of their "standard" sizes, but getting there.

4. Size 12 jeans I bought two years ago as a goal are now fitting me, but only for so much longer, there's a little room in them.

Congrats to everyone for their NSVs!!!

Ya so i had a moment. Im now able to sit on the couch with feet up too.
