It finally fits!

I bought a t-shirt at a concert in January... It's American Apparel size EXTRA LARGE. I finally wore it to work for the first time today. I'm guessing their stuff runs kinda small....

Anyway, it's my new profile pic.

Is that for the band Cake? They are awesome!

Anyway, that is awesome! I have a bunch of clothes I hope to fit into soon. Great job!

Your new profile pic shows a lot of progress from your other two pics. Great job!

My latest NSV is that I can put both shoes together and stand up. My knees used to have so much extra fat that I could never put my feet that close together and be able to stand. It's great to acknowledge all the little changes.

I think you look amazing! Are you sure you're 50? Wow!

You look great!! And American Apparel runs REALLY small... my a cappella group learned that the hard way when we ordered our club t-shirts from them :grumble: Congrats on your awesome NSV!!

Isn't that a great feeling!? Great job.

Yup... 50 was the impetus for this journey, I think.

I see that you are from Portugal. My sister-in-law is Portuguese, and with food that good I don't think I could lose weight there!

Amazing job! That is definitely a feat because they do run small. I can squeeze into an American Apparel medium, whereas my mediums from Express (still trendy, but with reasonable sizes) fit nicely.

That's my goal! So many awesome shirts are printed on that brand and by the time I cram the twins in, the shirt is riding up 4 inches above my belly button! That is an awesome NSV!

LOL! You got that right! Ask your sil about bacalhau com natas and pastel de nata, I NEVER say no to those! But I really need to start to...:(

Radically amazing job! You rock! And Cake rules!!! I hope you felt like Wonder Woman today

Thanks everyone! And yes... Cake totally rules. My daughter's awesome bf got me tickets for Christmas - they don't tour much, so it was my first show. It was killing me not to be able to wear it! And then... I spent all day explaining to my co-workers that it's a band.

I bet they were really confused that you've lost so much weight and you were wearing a shirt about "Cake". Great job. Congratulations.
