[Tricia K.]

Feel free to update as necessary. :)

- crossing my legs - under the table at restaurants, in the car, EVERYWHERE!
- having to resize my rings
- wearing smaller shoes (not that my feet were big to begin with, mind you)
- moving the seat in my car up so that I can reach the pedals
- having my husband's arms go around and around and around my waist
- not being out of breath after climbing stairs
- jogging - who woulda thunk it?
- my lower back not hurting as much

I'm sure there are plenty more but that's enough for now.

Post away, folks!

[NotSoFunny]

I have gone from size 32's to 28's. Got into the 28's this weekend. and they are comfy and fit right!!!

[Telly]

Turn heads towards me instead of turning them away (heard a man grunt at me last night as he stared me down while I walked passed him for the milk aisle. He said, "mmmmm". I turned to look at him and he was motioning with his head...for me, I turned around, blushing and kept on walking).

I'm liking this new attention.

["Just" Paul]

Back on that "other forum" you may recall me regailing you with my tale of being flirted with by a much younger, and attractive young lady while in a line at a convenience store (please forget the part where Funny asked if I flirted back, or stood there like a dweeb... I did the latter).
Well, here's the follow-up NSV.

Went to an Irish pub in Old-town Alexandria with an old friend from out of town this weekend. Had a bite to eat, and the went to listen to the irish folk singers downstairs at the pub. As we moved through the crowd, a frien of his in fron t of me, and my friend in the back. The room was pretty crowded, and we were barely able to follow each other. Well, as we walked, a hand grabbed my a$$. Not a little grab. One of those digging for meat grabs, like you mihgt do to a date you are much more familiar with. A hard, lingering, meaty grab.

Well, I was being pushed through the crowd, so it took me a second of shock or so before I could turn to look, and through the crowd, I could only see a table of guys.

When we finall;y got to sit down, I said to my firnd (who was behind me) I got my ass grabbed... and I think it was a guy! He began laughing so hard his beer came out his nose. Happily he informed me it was a lady who had done so. He pointed her out, and it was an attractive younger lady (in her 20's) who had performed the deed. Once she noticed us looking in her direction, she held up her hands making grabbing motions (as did her friends) and tried to get us to join their table. I declined, obviously.

I can't honestly say I ever had my buns grabbed like that.

You know, I was wearing my new jeans... that it properly.

Hmmmmm.... I think I gotta get more jeans.

[NotSoFunny]

LOL since rob has lost weight he has ha this happen to him. 3 times in fact. he too is buying jeans. one size too small. and has started to tuck in all of his shirts.

[LindaV]

Ok, let me say from the start that I know my dogs are spoiled and not the best trained dogs!

That said, my NSV is that I slept in the same bed with my husband and 2 dogs for the first time in months! We have had a twin bed pushed up next to our queen for several months because after we got the second dog (who also sleeps with us) there just wasn't enough room for all 4 of us. So I switched to the twin.

After losing almost 60 pounds (actually this morning I did hit -60), I put the extra bed back in the spare bedroom and we all fit very comfortably in my own bed! :sleep: :sleep:

[wavydaby]

Oh my I had an NSV this weekend. I didnt ride Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens, but they have the seat sample in the front for "test to see if you fit". The seats are really bizzare. The first year I couldnt fin in them at all, the second year, barely the first click, this year, TWO CLICKS and I probably could have done the third, but its not the best seat, and people get stuck in there some times.
I also walked up from the "France" area to the "Italy" area and BACK in 25 min.
Its hilly as heck. Last time I went, I went the down hill way only.

[Maryb]

I can comfortably lay beside my DH on the couch to watch TV together like we did when we were first married.

[MiaHalliwell]

- my clothes definately fit better
-size 16 is getting loose in some brands
-my cheerleading warm up pants (the rip away kind with snaps all the way down the side of the legs) no longer come apart at the snaps in the hips and the pockets are straight, like they should be.
-My XL uniform top for school is mucho big, my friend told me that I looked like I was swimming in it :madgrin:
-My cheerleading commissioner told me that I looked like I dropped a lot of weight and that I was looking good.
-(here is a big one) My hubby said that he notices that my butt is getting smaller.

[A1ikou]

- My wedding and engagement rings that I couldn't get on for 18mths are now loose and spinning around my finger.
- My feet have shrunk in width.
- I can do my laundry without needing to sit on a chair.
- For someone who couldn't walk 20ft without her back and shoulders aching I can now do a 'comfortable' 30min walk on treadmill (2x a day) with incline.
- I can do the supermarket shopping without worrying if I'll manage.
- Don't need seatbelt extender in car.
- Fit in most chairs I've tried without hips bursting through the sides.
- Balance better in shoes with a heel (but am taller than hubby so not something done too often).
- had the confidence to tell some very shocked Greek boys (not expecting me to understand what they said) where to get off when they called me names while on holiday.

[Diva]

All my blouses button without straining at the chest.
I don't have to yank just washed tee shirts over my butt.
My watch band is buckled at its last hole.
I am down a pants size and almost fainted
People are noticing at work.
I can make it up my front stairs without heavy breathing
and my personal fave:
I gave myself a pedicure without needing an oxygen mask to bend to reach my toes.

My watch will no longer stay face up on my wrist.

[JoyceGA]

Joyce's NSV's

~ Last month my clothes fell off as I pushed the trash cart to the curb. First, it was my t-shirt falling off my shoulders; then I felt my boobs pop out of the bra, when I looked down they looked about 3 sizes to small for bra; THEN my pants started falling as I pulled my top up. Thank God, the school buses were out yet -- I don't do sex education to minors. By the time I got to the curb, I grabbed my pant's waist and hauled ass back to the house. I went shopping that afternoon -- dropped 3 sizes.

~ Sunday, I discovered that I had loose skin and not fat on my legs and even a good pull on my fanny. Loose skin looks different...wrinkles.

~Able to get up from rolling desk chair without taking it with me. In fact, I now have wiggle room when sitting.

~Being able to make up the bed without pausing after each sheet/spread for rest breaks.

~Walking down my hall at home without bumping the walls.

I kept walking and they kept creeping , further , further further ..
I grab the sided on my skirt and just hold on to them from the out side till I could get to my car.. needless to say my next stop was target for new panties!!

[Susan]

I had an exciting NSV today for me! :Banane03: When I started this whole process, I was in a size 28 pants. Well, today I put on a size 22, just knowing there was no way I would ever get them past my big ol' butt. Guess what, I did, and they fit. I am not busting a gut or anything. Woo Hoo, Yay for me!! :orange:

OMG! That is funny and embarassing. Sounds like something that would happen to me. Great NSV though. I hope you bought sexy panties, LOL.

[Stefunny]

My 6 year old son asked me today, "Mom are you getting skinnier or am I getting bigger?" I teared up and said a little of both. (My husband swears he did no coaching!)

Another NSV is no longer "qualifying" to shop at Lane Bryant!

[Stefunny]

OMG. I JUST got my wedding ring off 2 seconds ago. I haven't been able to take it off for years! I can go get it cleaned tomorrow... I'm soooooexcited!

[kelliebelly]

My Biggest NSV to date - wearing a strapless wedding dress and getting married, I have put DH off for so long with the excuse when I lose some weight. It was a perfect day....except for the torrential rain :)
