My waist is 5 inches smaller than 6 months ago. Regular pants that were fitting like leggings now are almost too loose to wear. My energy, stamina and general mood have all improved enough for family members to comment. ☺️

@aneedlecraft , congratulations 👏🏻

When we did our Decluttering Healthy Habit on the 2024 Fall 5% Challenge, someone shared their motto: "See Something, Do Something." I have adopted that phrase as my new mantra, and have even added a request to be reminded of it to my morning prayer time. This has changed my outlook on decluttering and cleaning in general. It's amazing how much I accomplish each day when I'm not walking in circles wondering what to do next!

I took measurements today. Compared to four weeks ago, I've lost a total of 8.5" across 10 sites measured! This includes 1" off my waist and 2.25" off the widest point of my stomach! I also took progress pics and I really like how my legs are changing :)

@four_bumblebees that is amazing!!!

I ran into someone I haven't seen in 20 years and was genuinely happy to see her. She was most surprised that I looked exactly the same ( I strongly relate to the movie The Age of Adeline) lol 😆. Then she noticed my weight loss and was shocked 😲 How much have you lost ??? At least 40...maybe more than 50 since you last saw me I said. At least 50 she replied!! How? Just diet and exercise.....over and over again. It DOES feel really good when somebody who knew you previously notices! I'm definitely feeling ready to lose another 5 pounds....my body is so sensitive to any extra weight now. 😫

I relate to that too! people often assume I'm a teenager, when I'm in my mid thirties!

I'm only 4 weeks into my journey - I started Intermittent Fasting on the 1st March 2025, and for 20+ I have had to take Laporomide to manage my IBS flare-ups, I usually get a flare-up a couple of times a week & occasionally the Laporomide doesn't help so I have to double the dose, but since I have been intermittent fasting I have not had to take a single dose …

I'll take that as a nice little NSV 👌🏼

takinitalloff · April 1

@The_Book_Dragon I would take that as a major NSV if I were you! Nicely done!

I bought size 10 jeans today. I haven't been a size 10 in 35 years.

Garden875 · April 2

@patriciafoley1 how amazing! Congratulations 👏🏻

@Viridien1539 I am genetically lucky. My parents were BOTH extraordinary youthful looking and my four siblings are also the same. But I really do feel like Blake Livelys character LOL 😆. She's married to "local boy" Ryan Reynolds who is from my city and I have heard the reason Vancouver women look so youthful is all the rain we get 🤣. I'm sure that's part of it! I don't do anything special at all beyond basic skin care, water, nutrition. Im very motivated to keep my weight off because I do look even younger with prominent cheekbones and larger eyes. The rewards for staying the course and focusing on the positive outcome far outweigh the temporary boost of skipping a walk or eating a treat. 😇

Good genes!!! Guess my age

My dress pants are starting to get a little loose, so this weekend I went through my tote under my bed where I thought my old ones were. Apparently in a doom and gloom moment that I am never going to loose the weight, I gave them all away, as I only found one pair. Oops.

Today to work I am wearing a pair of dress pants and blouse that I haven't word in almost 2 years, and the last time I wore them they were to tight. They aren't tight! 👏👏👏

Garden875 · April 7

@angf0679 congratulations 👏🏻!

My NSV during today’s cold snap (cool enough I get an opportunity to wear this!):

I wanted to share a photo of a gorgeous handwoven jacket I bought during my travels last month.

Fat Me would never have dreamed of deserving, much less being able to wear (assuming any even fit) something like this. I would have been embarrassed. “Do you have any larger sizes? No, larger than that?” I would have looked longingly and just left.

I am so happy to be able to look at something I love and actually have a choice.

Color makes me VERY happy. I like color so bright you can almost taste it, so this suits me right down to the ground.

anxietyfairy · April 9

I swear my shoes and vest felt bigger!

mollypw1994 · April 9

had an NSV today…

It’s my mom’s 87th birthday and I took her out to lunch. She wanted to go to Outback for coconut shrimp. I got a small grilled chicken breast and a sweet potato with nothing on it ! Would’ve loved some coconut shrimp, but wayyy too many calories. Also resisted the bread, and the bday dessert that mom offered to share with me.
I’m so proud of myself for having a responsible lunch despite the temptation!

Garden875 · April 9

@mollypw1994 well done 👏🏻

Garden875 · April 9

@tammylou33 that’s awesome!👏🏻

anxietyfairy · April 10

I got my blood sugars tested today and am officially in the healthy range after being careful for six weeks. Even though I cheated a few times. Doctor told me they don’t have to be any lower.

My ring fell off when I was playing basketball. I guess it’s really time to get it sized!🙌

You might consider a spacer to keep it on if you're planning to lose more weight. I think there's a limited number of times that jewelers recommend having rings re-sized.

herblovinmom · April 12

NSV.. Hitting my exercise goals all week. I made a schedule and stuck to it and got it done. I like this routine.

cowboygavin · April 12

Today I was quickly grabbing clothes, and I grabbed a sweater not realizing it was my partner's. My partner has been much smaller than me for many years and I generally don't fit in their clothes but today I put it on and it fit perfectly!! I had to ask to confirm it was theirs because I was so in shock

angf0679 · April 12

I bought my Easter dress today. It's a medium. Last years was a large.

I was also trying on dress pants today to get some new ones. They are a size 8 when the ones in my closet are a 10.

I have dropped a dress size and a pant size in just over a month!

Mabohlale · April 13

I fit in jeans again for the first time in 2 years! I've only worn yoga pants or elastic waist capris all that time.

Garden875 · April 13

@angf0679 amazing and congratulations!

@Mabohlale that’s wonderful!
