Last year I dieted and exercised, lost 10kgs and got down to 85kgs (187lbs). I started wearing an Australian size 16 in most clothes, so when I went to the shops one day, I found this lovely pair of jeans reduced from $90 to $20 in a size 16, and bought them without trying them on.

Imagine how upset I was when I got home and they were so tight I couldn't do them up! I then proceeded to gain back all the weight I lost over the next 12 months, plus some, and my bargain jeans sat in the bottom of my drawer never having been worn.

This morning, I weighed myself and I was 88.1kgs. I went to put on my regular jeans for work and they looked ridiculous, hanging off me. In a panic, I emptied by drawers and came across my bargain too-small a size 16 jeans, and said to my DH "I definitely can't fit into those! I'm 3 kilos heavier than when I bought them!".

He looked at the jeans and said "sure you can - they look like they'll fit"

AND THEY DID!!! I'm wearing them now!

The buttons did up without any problems!

I don't get it, because I'm 3 kilos heavier still, but I'm not complaining - IT MADE MY DAY! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

Yeah Lellow!!! Good for you. Those are the things that keep us going!

Congratulations to you, that is wonderful! The most fun part, to me, about losing weight is getting into smaller clothes.

That is a great NSV!!! Congrats!!

Woo Hoo! WTG! NSV are sometimes better then the weight loss!
