A Few NSV's

For the first time in my life...

I bought a shirt from Aeropostale....O sure it was an XL but... Have  you seen the size of an Aeropostale XL...

I can cross both legs....

I can touch most of my back...

I went through a tub of clothes that I put away 2 years ago.  It had a leather jacket in it that I could barely move it...Today.. Sadly...it's way too big...

And the best NSV...I had to finally stop shopping in the 1x or bigger sections.  It's just too big!

I'm so close to being in Onderland...And no matter how long it takes..It's been a great journey.

 Good for you!  Those shirts are small there.  I went in and picked one up and decided I better lose another 20 before I attempt that.  I didn't want to get stuck in it in the fitting room.  LOL  Keep up the good work.  The scale is fun when the numbers are moving, but the NSV's are even more fun.  It is always an exciting time to feel and see the progress.

Great NSV"s!  Onderland is just in front of me too.  I can see it but can't quite get to it.  Can't wait to see it in my rear view mirror.  Hips and legs getting much smaller, but still struggling with the stomach. I'm just moving into XL's, but still like some of the longer lengths of 1 X's. Just moved into a 16 without a "w" next to it.  Hoping to see onederland before the summer is over.  Maybe we both will!  Good luck!

Fitting into smaller clothes is a great NSV! I think it's just as good as, if not better than, seeing the scale move.

"I can touch most of my back."  LOL I love it.  I tried that after you said it and I realized that I could also do it and it is a huge NSV!!!  Just one that we don't see so often!

Good for you.  Hopefully many more NSV's are in your future!
