My best friend lost her weight about 15 years ago and has been nudging me into doing the same ever since. On one visit to her house, she gave me some hand me downs that I "might fit into" someday. I put them at the back of my closet and didn't think anything more about them. Came across the bag at my mother's a couple of weeks ago and took it home. Put a pretty one sleeved top on that I remembered BFF having on in pictures. And it fit perfectly! I wore it for my mother's birthday dinner and sent BFF a picture. Her response? Holy kitten, that shirt wasn't from her weight loss journey; it was from only 5-6 years ago when she'd finished the weight loss and had been maintaining!! We both cried!36

Wearing my "skinny suit" to work today! I've finally lost enough weight to wear my suits from my thinner weight a few years ago. Everyone is asking me what time my interview is today...

A few days ago, my husband suggested I try the gap. I shrugged, but to my shock - voila! I could fit through the gap! With a tiny bit of room to spare! It was so exciting! It never even dawned on me to try.
For reference, I've lost about 50lbs during the quarantine/pandemic.
This is so sweet to me. Do you think your hubby notices more of your changes than you do?
Thanks! Yes, he definitely notices the way I look (and feel when he holds me) and points out cool things that I don't even think about. He noticed my fingers are way thinner, my clothes are baggy, my cheekbones can cut the air they're so sharp now! Honestly, I've been SO excited about my NSVs - perfect BP, normal blood glucose, biking and walking and hiking so much longer and just feeling awesome every day - that I haven't noticed the weight aspect as much as I thought I would. Go figure.

Wearing a 90% backless top and being fine enough at this point to wear it in public 😱31

My jeans are getting too big so I went shopping (at the only store I know of around here that will let you use the fitting rooms - Old Navy) and I bought my first ever pair of Skinny Jeans (I'm a 50 y.o.) They're black, size 16, and my new best friend! 😍 I also bought a leopard print shirt to go with them and I've got to say...I am getting there!33

I had to cinch my belt one notch tighter today.31

I've been on holiday and doing some hikes with my BF in the Alps. I've been able to complete every single hike within the estimated time given in the official guides, including those with steep inclines.
45lbs ago, I needed at least twice the time estimated.
Not to mention I'm doing hikes now that I wasn't even capable of before (unless 10+ years ago): 500m (1600ft) elevation difference with only a few breaks going up and only slightly painful feet and legs after the descent.
Another one to add to this: my BF complained I was walking too fast
It was 'only' on a level path and he could keep up (he's 6ft3, I'm 5ft5, I'll never outrun/outwalk him, lol), but he felt he was sweating too much at that pace, around 5.5kph. Whereas I just wanted to get out of the scorching sun into the woods for shade, so I was in a hurry. First time ever that he's told me I'm walking too quickly, lol.26 -
My old wristwatch (metal links) fits again! Went to get a new battery for it today. I also got a new leather strap for my other watch, and in the new strap I’ll need to use the innermost notch to start..!
I also brought new bras in a non specialty store and one of them was without an underwire. Current size - 85F, still plenty of room for reduction.15 -
My neighbor didn’t recognize me! 😂21

I ran out of belt loops 😆47 -
I finally got my running intervals to equal the distance of a 5k! 1.75mi, .75mi, and finally .6mi, with a .25mi walk in between to give my legs a break. Did some walking before/after for a total of 6 miles. Next goal is going to be to get to a 5k with no walking breaks.21

So Girlfriend spends most of her time in her room. This is fine, but it makes it hard to clean. So since she isn't home today (May come home tomorrow, maybe Sunday) I took everything out of her room, and swept and polished and scrubbed and dusted and new sheets on the bed and all.
I'm sore around the lower back and rear, from lifting stubborn things. But I'm not exhausted. And I bet the soreness will be gone if I sit down and have dinner. THAT's a nice change.22 -
I got home tonight and fancied something to eat, not hungry, just felt like eating something....
Well instead of the tempting chocolate biscuits I grabbed a tomato to munch on.....Darn nice it was too.24 -
My dog groomer greeted me with "You've lost weight!" I thanked her, and she came back with "No! You've REALLY lost weight!" I laughed. I was so happy to hear it. Last time I saw her 2 months ago.18

I'm wearing knee high boots. I haven't owned any in ages. Ever? Either way my calves were too fat for even wide calf boots. Since I bought these off Amazon I ordered wide calf to be safe and they not just fit, they have loads of room to spare. I'm doing my happy dance because while I hit my goal weight I have not hit my goal body and I've been a little worried I'm not going to be happy with my end results. So I'm telling myself I am loads better than I was a year ago and perfection was never my goal. Hopefully the chicken wings and apron shrink more but for now I'll rock the boots and be happy.23
