Well done you Lucy so happy for you. My eldest rang in the week and asked what size top to buy me for mothers day I told her a size smaller than I usually have and was surprised they fitted :D Number 2 child now wants to take me clothes shopping at the end of the month, can't wait :D
 
It's a good feeling isnt it Alison. Well done.
 
Well done everyone some great NSVs :D xxx

I was out at a function today and my friends mum (who I had not seen for a couple of years) completely blanked me. I had to say hello to her :D. Also a saw a few of the people I used to work with (left there to go to uni so hadnt seen them in 3 years) an got lots of complements.

Bit of a strange NSV but I could wear my heals all day and dance in them without my feet getting sore 😛. After the bad few weeks I have been having food wise it made me feel great!
 
Well done Lucy what a great achievement you have worked so hard for this. Your son in Doha is in for a lovely surprise
 
It is indeed a wonderful feeling Sheilagh. Will be interesting to see what size trousers I need now as all mine are too big lol
 
I have gone from a size 20 in trousers to a 16 :D
 
Well done Alison, Sheilagh and Cazscot. Its a real buzz isn't it. Just shows its not all about the scales!
 
My NSV for this weekend was that I've had to put my wedding ring back in it's little box as it keeps on falling off 😱

We are going to have it resized when I get to my target weight!

Considering we have been married for 8 years, this means I'm probably the slimmest I've been in all that time!
 
I went shopping last week for some new work trousers, bought some new jeans too. Jeans down from a 22 to a 20 and work trousers (with elasticated waist) down from a 22 to 18 😱
 
Over the weekend I fitted on Colossus at thorpe park, Dragons fury and campire at chessington for the first time in about 5 years!!
 
They are great NSVs.

Mark, how far off is your target weight? How long will you be roaming around without your wedding ring?

In theory I'm about 4 kg away and I'm loosing at least 0.5 kg a week on average. So at most 8 weeks I think.

It's really odd, I've got a phantom ring feeling on my finger.
 
I have got a new Non-Scales victory (just wish the scales victories would come as well) :D

I have been able to start buying some of my clothes from Next 🙂 I haven't been able to do that for a very very long time

Hi Sheilagh - well done you - you are probably toning up which is equally as good as the scales going lower!

I do know what you mean - lovely to shop in Next instead of the plus shops where you can buy what you want in the colour you want for a change!

Well done you!:D
 
Yay Sheilagh - brilliant feeling to know a whole new world of fashion is now available to you too!

I am really enjoying going into TKMaxx and walking by the Plus Woman rails - teehee. I know I have said it before but I really do feel like a big kid walking by them. I used to do most of my shopping at Bon Marche but now I am a size 12, if I lose any more then there will be nothing in there in my size. F.A.B.
 
i have found that since i have been diagnosed with type 2, that my clothes are falling off me, i put a dress on last weekend and it was so loose, it felt strange and when i told the nurse she said that was good, i said i have never been big, the dress was a size 16, my jeans are to big, they are 12-14, now i will have to get a new wardrobe lol
 
Thank you everyone.

Its a good feeling for us all isnt't when those clothes get to big for us 🙂

Got a few of my summer clothes out last week and they are so big keep telling my hubbie that I will need a new summer wardrobe :D:D
 
Thought I was looking a bit slimmer when I looked in the mirror so measured my waist and I've lost about an inch and a half! Thank you Ms. Gasper! 🙂
