So, i went shopping today for some new jeans at Lane Bryant and was pleasantly surprised. Before my surgery i brought a pair of size 28 jeans from there and today i fit into a size 24. 2 sizes down....not too shabby!

I was so excited...just had to share.

I am doing the happy dance with you!!!!!!

Awesome! :clap2:

Way to go...feels good, doesn't it????:whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

Nice NSV. Keep up the good work.

What does NSV mean?

Congrats though! I'm only down by about 18, but I'm looking in the back of my closet for some winter clothes from a few years ago when I was about 25 pound smaller. I found a beautiful almost new black blouse w/fall colors on it that is a 2x. I tried it on over my pjs and it almost fits! Two months ago the 3x things I have were getting snug... I hung the blouse on a hanger on my dresser as a goal to wear on Thanksgiving Day!

makes it all worthwhile!!

NSV stands for non scale victory. Going down a size for example would be a NSV. Good job on the deduction.

Thanks ! It took me two weeks to find out what PB meant. Maybe we should have a 'glossary' somewhere on this forum?

Thanks for all the support. it feels really good (for a change) to actually have to buy new clothes because old ones are too big. Looking forward to having to do it again soon. Thanks again for all the postive feedback!

Oh, congratulations topdownbug on your NSV. Good idea hanging your blouse where you can see. I have a pretty dress i bought a while back and i think i'll hang it up so i can be reminded to stay focused. Keep up the good work!

Hooray for you!!!!!!!!!! =)

great job ... what a phenominal NSV!

Way to go!! Don't it feel great!!

Topdownbug-there is a glossary, if I find it I will pm you.

Congrats 2 you gurlie!
