An old size 4 pencil skirt fits. I was shocked because when I held it up, I didn't think there was any chance of it fitting.

My BMI is finally back in the 30's (actually 39.9) but considering it was 68.0 when i started all this 26months ago, its progress.

I put on a shirt I received for Christmas and it's too big - so big, it may be the last time I wear it.

(It's kind of a shame I didn't wear it too often because it's really a good color on me!)

Get a smaller one same color. Congrats

First real spring day here. My yoga capris from last fall were so big they literally fell down

I put on a pair of size 16 jeans that I couldn't even get around my thighs. Now they fit around my waist, still a little bit tight but in a couple of pounds they will be perfect. Most of my 18s fall down right now. I keep having to pull them up.

Just completed W1D3 of Couch to 5K. I’m going slow, but I’m going! My goals are to walk/run a 5K in May and run one in October.
Accidentally found boxes of clothes that I put away as I was growing during pregnancy last year. I had completely forgotten about them! And now I realize I don’t like many of them and was just keeping them because they fit and I didn’t want to spend time shopping for clothes that fit AND flatter me.

Went to dinner at a new place last night. Lots of tempations. I stuck to a burger with lettuce instead of a bun and an appetizer of roasted brussel sprouts. It was SO good, and I felt good knowing I wasn't going to regret it later. I even had a forkful of my daughter's cheesecake and left it at that.

That's amazing progress! Keep up the good work

Broke a plateau today. Down 58 pounds. Woohoo!

Being able to actually see my muscles when I work out vs just knowing there's some somewhere under my fat...

Even the scale hasn't moved in a little while, my body is still changing.

When I buy a new shirt, I now need to make sure it's sized to fit my shoulders properly; whereas my breasts used to be the problem.

Boot-cut jeans are no longer more flattering than skinny jeans, because my hips and butt are narrower.

I recently had this same realization! I don't need to buy the xl shirts and flare cut jeans. Small and skinny still seem unreal.

I am still really attracted to the plus size racks at Target. I don't know if I really like the styles better or if it's just habit – and I haven't been plus size in a year. I keep catching myself over there and then consciously steering myself away.

I can feel my hip bones!

Today I went clothes shopping in the sale. All my size 14 (UK) dresses are a bit big on me now, so I was delighted at thinking I must be a size 12.

I bought three dresses. All size 10. There were two other dresses I didn’t get because the smallest size was 12 and it was a little big, especially as I’m still losing.

WTH. I honestly thought my frame size meant I would bottom out at a 12. Also, I’M STILL OVERWEIGHT. I have no idea what is going on anymore.

@ceiswyn You look great! I saw your other thread about 'fat redistribution'. Take the size 10 wrap dress as a trade-off. I'd love to wear anything that was fitted through the torso but they simply don't work with my shape and proportions (even when I'm not fat), so I say enjoy the win.

You make a good point! Thankyou

My NSV is that, even in my first week back after re-gaining 35 of the 45 I lost, even while 100% bed bound due to a Synvisc reaction in both knees (they are like watermelons!), I’m staying within my calories. Probably won’t lose any, but hopefully won’t gain either. In the past, I’d be so depressed I’d go crazy binging. Proud of myself.

Saturday is becoming my day to check the success forums and reflect on my week, and it's been a pretty good one! Yesterday I registered for my first ever 5k, just like I promised myself last year that I would. It's hard to think that I've stuck to this so long and I hope the good times keep rolling.

A second NSV yesterday - I was watching a movie at home, twisted around to grab something, and HOLY KITTENS! I've got muscle definition in my arms and shoulders! Just a little bit, but I don't think I've ever had anything resembling definition before. My husband says he can see new definition in my legs, too. Freaking amazing. Lifting weights is my drug.

And last but not least, tomorrow will be two weeks since quitting smoking. BOOM!
