Non Scale Victories

Here's a thread for those little (or big) moments that don't include the number on the scale. I'm sure there are times when you think nothing is happening, or it seems soooo slow but then you have a moment when you realise something has changed.
Mine yesterday was not giving in to a stressful day by over eating or drinking. The other day I realised my favourite cardigans were 3 sizes too big.

Yesterday I was able to wear some jeans that haven't fit for about ten years. I was at this size for several years back then, so I suddenly have 5 pairs of pants that fit great now.10

This thread made me think to try on my shirts again. I now fit the rest of my 3xl shirts (the ones that ran smaller) as well as a few of my larger running 2x ones. In total I just gained 8-9 "new" shirts to wear

Brilliant! I love it when tight clothes suddenly fit, I have a wardrobe in waiting.

same! I have clothes to bring me all the way down to M shirts and size 36 pants. I'll get there someday.3

My wife and I scheduled a relaxing day of playing game and just taking it easy. It seemed extremely unnatural to me. I wanted to be up doing things and moving. My efforts to shed the habits of a weight gainer and adopt the habits of a weight loser/maintainer seem to be working. We still took it easy but I am glad I wasn't totally comfortable with it.5

I bought some new clothes for the upcoming school year (teacher) and fit into 2x dresses and jackets. At that store, I’m used to being a 3x top and a 4x jacket.11

Fantastic results everyone, loving hearing about them.1

@quemalosuerte that's awesome! and if gets cold where you live, the larger items can be used as layers

I might be crazy but I swear my head is getting smaller. My fitted hats are looser.2

I thought your head was getting bigger from all the step goals you were hitting.
But seriously your hat size can decrease with weight loss. Mine hasn't yet to any appreciable degree and maybe it won't but other people have reported this to happen. My fat was, and is, so poorly distributed it is unreal. The benefit of that may be that most of my loose skin will tighten on its own everywhere but my abdomen.0 -
As of today I'm considering myself officially down to a 2xl shirt size... now that I have 5-6 shirts in that size that fit.
When I first started losing weight, I had some 4xl shirts that fit and some that were tight around the stomach, so that puts me right at -2 sizes, since I'm in the same spot with 2xl right now.
I've been losing some inches around my waist the last few weeks 8 -

Very early 90's.
Congrats @merph518. That is quite an achievement. Your shopping options have increased dramatically.

Thanks guys!
Yeah, to be able to buy shirts in normal stores is pretty foreign to me. It's been about 10 years for me. Still have a ways to go before I'm free of the big and tall section for pants though... I don't care for wearing my pants below my stomach.2 -

I am down to a 2xl pants but still stuck in a 4xlt shirt. I could probably wear a 3xl shirt now but I can't find them long enough to cover my belly so I am running pretty baggy.0 -
I realised today that I now fit into my office chair without my fat thighs overhanging the edge of the seat.
Next target is cinema seating!7 -

A big one for me was booths at restaurants, I havent been to the theater since losing some weight though. I am curious now.1 -
I haven't been in a theater yet either. I don't think I have seen a movie like that in 5 years. There is a place I would go that was further away but it had arm rests that would come up so I could see movies there. I wanted to go see Shazam but I got busy and before I knew it my window of opportunity passed.0

One thing I'm looking forward to particularly is fitting better on rides at amusement parks.2
