As of today, My non scale victory is that I went from a size 9-10 pants to a 7! My BMI is 1.8 from being in the "normal range" and my body fat is in the "acceptable" range (higher end)15

The weather is starting to turn here (and there were yellow leaves on my running path today) so I decided to do a quick check on the coats in my closet.
48EU esprit coat (double breasted) that wouldn’t go over my arms last winter? Perfect fit, no straining anywhere. Could wear on bike or when having to teach arms above my head.
16UK outdoor jacket, zipped (mountain warehouse) - slightly tight at the very bottom when doubled with its removable fleece. Could wear strolling but maybe not to sit down/bike.
16UK skirted trench coat, also double breasted (love this, a relic of my last weight loss journey and haven’t gotten to wear it much) - the top section of the button strain a a little bit. It will probably be perfect by the time October rolls around.
Last winter’s 22UK coat? Needs to be retired 😂

Apparently big/oversized jackets are on trend this Fall/Winter so perhaps get a shorter wool belt and rock it like it's on purpose? lol
Also, good on you for being so organized about your wardrobe!!

NSV: I'm getting better at ignoring minor signs of hunger, especially in the evening before bed. I'm used to being unable to get to sleep if there's even the slightest bit of hunger, but now I can do it if I'm up to the "moderately peckish" category. Even if I get seriously hungry at bedtime (which hasn't happened in a while) I can take care of it with a couple ounces of cottage cheese, which is another NSV.17

I couldn’t get these pants over my thighs, let alone fasten them, at the beginning of the year.
Today, I struggled to keep them on.

All of a sudden last night I saw the outlines of my upper arms under the skin billows and remaining fat. That's new!16

And another one just now. When we moved, we were asked to leave our curtain rods, including the lovely light-blocking rods that let me make my bedroom pitch dark even in the middle of the day when a migraine hits. The new house had blinds, but they don't light block much. So I bought curtain rods again and got ready to hang the old light blocking curtains in the new house.
It's amazing how much easier it is to go up and down that ladder and how much less worn out I am (not at all, really) now. Of course, I'm not surprised; I'm hauling 43 less pounds up and down than I was last year.20 -
Carrying my dog upstairs got so much easier. He's a 13 pound rescue Maltese, and didn't know what stairs were when I adopted him. We're working on that.
Back in May, when I restarted my WL journey, it was so hard to catch my breath after climbing to the 3rd floor after our walk. My HR was 130 I felt lightheaded from exertion with my mask on. Last night, after losing 31 pounds I flew him up the stairs from the garage, which is another floor down, and my HR at the top was 80. I also might have been making airplane noises
Guess it helps that he dropped a couple of pounds too

@Mithridites yay! I think I remember you saying something about this so it’s so awesome to hear! And sounds like your pup has one fun human!
Today I realized that summer is almost over and I hadn’t tried to wear my one summer dress I got last year that was too tight in May. I’ve been wearing it all day! The buttons still pull a bit but not an uncomfortable amount. Here’s my awkward pic.

I bought a Costco sized bag of macadamia nuts because I thought I could handle it ... I couldn't. I almost cried as I put about $5 worth of macadamia nuts down the garbage disposal instead of eating them, but that was my NSV!!24

I finally figured out the sweet spot of my calorie intake that allows me to see progress at a rate that feels (and is) successful yet doesn’t cause me to feel like trash in the day.
I can’t even begin to state enough how weird of a puzzle this has been for me (and therefore how excited I am about the whole thing). I don’t know if it’s age or hormone fluctuations after 3 kids but what worked for me after child number 2 has been a total crapshoot for the last 2yrs, since having child number 3. So I guess the second NSV is that I’m not viewing these last 2yrs as a “waste” but instead I’m acknowledging the (small) progress that does exist and choosing to celebrate having finally figured out what this version of me needs.27 -
I’ve tucked my shirt into my trousers. Remains to be seen whether I actually feel good wearing it out of the house, but leaving the shirt loose just looks comical...
Are these the size 46 trousers that were far from closing a month ago? Why yes they are

My NSV is that the gym staff now greet me BY NAME when I walk in! 22

yesterday at work I was eating my lunch, and a coworker looked over at the meal I had packed for myself- baked sweet potato, homemade shrimp salad, and fresh raspberries, and said "oh, I wish I could eat healthy like that, but it just doesn't work for me."
and I had this lightning-bolt moment that was like, wow, that's where I was 9 months ago. I was the one with fast food delivery, looking at people's homemade whole-food lunches, telling myself I didn't have the time or the gumption or the wherewithal to cook for myself, eat better, etc.
pretty excited to say it's not true!39 -
