N.S.V = size 16 jeans!!!!!!

hi all
just wanted to share. on wed I went for a 3rd fill. I dont seem to get on to well with them so went shopping after. cheer me up.

I tried on a size 20 jeans in new look sale and they was WAY to big on me. so went home as couldnt find anything else in sale. not paying full price while lossing weight.

anyway 3 years ago I got a pair of jeans size 20 and size 16 as liked them and said I AM GOING TO GET IN THEM ONE DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that one day has come hurray!!! as tried them on yesterday and they fit so I finally took the price tag off lol,

the reason im so excited is becuase I havent been a size 16 for 21 years!!!! since I was aged 16 so im well chuffed with myself.

sorry its long. but the suprising thing is I only lost 5-7lbs in last 8 weeks

That's brilliant Ann. Well done. You see, success isn't just a number on a scale, it's all those NSVs that come along as well.

Just flaunt it now!!

Congratulations!!!!
This just goes to show that you should try not to get down-heartened just because those nasty scales don't say what you want them too, because even when your weight isn't dropping much your body is still working away inside doing magic stuff that gives those amazing results in the wardrobe department.
Enjoy your size 16's and I hope your time in them is short lived and size 14 shopping starts

so I went away with a smile on my face
