I bought clothes that weren't from the plus size section! I haven't done that since I was probably 18. Not gonna lie...I almost cried in the store.9

ohmygosh!!! Congrats!! I can't wait to do that!!! I will probably bawl like a baby! Way to go girl!!3 -
Thanks @cjcarter77! I was completely shocked. It hadn't even occurred to me that maybe I could fit the "normal" section. I started trying on clothes and discovered I'm an XL (started at 3XL, sometimes 4XL). Went to a couple stores before I realized that XL is also in the "normal" section and I wasn't limited to plus anymore. Fought tears of surprise and joy in the middle of Kohl's.10

@Ultima_Morpha - You are killing it!2

Way to go @Ultima_Morpha!
Today a coworker asked how much I'd lost and I said 105 lbs. Then she said I must be almost done, right? I said no, I still have about 60 lbs to go. She looked shocked and said "from where??"9 -
I had to buy new clothes.....again. Down 10 inches in pants, 38. Down from 4 and 5xl to XL in shirts. With new clothes that fit me, more people are noticing my 100 pound absence. Walking 4 miles instead of 3 at night and they are under 17 minute miles. Bumps my weekly to over 20 miles a week with my morning break mile. I now have 3 co-workers joining me on them.12

Ran my first 10k on Saturday. Beat my goal of 70 min. Did it 66:42. Going to shoot for sub 63 this Saturday when I do my second one. This one won't be on sand or have rocks to climb so I think that's doable.
Just for "fun" I timed myself doing mile today. 8:26. Last year I cpuld barely break 10min. Am I a "runner" now? Lol5 -
Hi all... I'm new (sort of) to MFP and am just beginning my journey toward surgery. I just wanted to say that this thread is hugely inspiring and I look forward to posting my own victories here in the future.4

I go back to my surgeon tomorrow for my one month post op visit and I'm down 20 lbs since surgery.

Everything is now done and in place for surgery next week, so my NSV is making it to this point. I start my new life soon.

@Mandy_1982 - That is a VERY exciting NSV. We'll be here cheering you on.1

I've embraced the hair loss that came after my surgery. I'm rocking a new wig today and it's a much more "fun" style than my first one. I figure I might as well enjoy wearing a style that my natural hair could never manage.

@Lisidy you look great!
I went to my first bootcamp this morning (5:30 am, in the rain) and didn't die.3 -
@AllisonMart - Thank you and... that is AWESOME! I was a slacker and didn't go this morning. I'll think of you when I get my butt up and go Wednesday morning.0

My NSV is that I had my surgery! It feels like a major victory. 7

I ran every day in May!
I racked up 120 miles; far from my biggest month of September 2016 (176 miles) but a good increase from the 80 miles I ran in May 2016.
I've been feeling out of sorts for a couple of months now so the achievement of running 31 days in a row is all that much sweeter!6
