For the past 15 years I have always had a pile of clothes in my closet that were too small, but I loved them and kept them because "some day". Everytime I moved (7 times), I would look at them, sometimes try them on to see how close I was, and decide if they were worth packing for the next move. I am getting ready to move again, so last night I went to that pile. I tried on the clothes to see how close I was and realized I fit in all the clothes (one was actually too big). I no longer have a "some day" pile in my closet!! I think this is the only time I have actually cried about clothes.44

That's wonderful! Congrats!5 -
I have been tracking on MFP for 139 days and have lost 25 pounds so far, last couple days was intermittently lightheaded especially with doing squats---checked my blood pressure and it was low--- two days off of blood pressure meds and BP is still normal!!! Think I may be off meds for the long term--will keep tracking!!!23

I can't stand to have clothes in my closet that don't fit so I keep a "give-away" box on the floor. Until 6 weeks ago and a fresh start on MFP, I tossed in clothes that suddenly felt too tight. Now I'm adding clothes as they get too loose. Before I closed up the full box to take to Goodwill, I dug through to the bottom too-tight layer and, surprise, found 4 tops that now fit beautifully!
I used to buy tops to fit over my belly not caring if the shoulder seam drooped. Now I wear can tops that fit my shoulders and my belly doesn't strain the buttons anymore.

I now just look at sizes large or extra large AND only in so-called "regular" sizes and they're fitting (sometimes with room to spare). I'm even tempted to begin looking at/for size mediums, just for the fun, hopefulness and faith of it all. This is sooooo EXCITING to me!!!! YAY and WOW again.
I remember the first time I didn't fit in plus sizes anymore. I was looking and looking and eyeballing the outfits and one of the sales girls in the store came over to me and asked me if I needed help. I told her it was my first time there and I didn't know what size I should I get and she gently said, 'I thought so because you're in the plus size section and I can tell by looking that you're not a plus size.' I was FLOORED.32 -

Truly understanding the phrase, ‘it’s not how many times you fall down, but about how many times you get back up.’
The beauty in that lesson is my NSV.28 -
Being able to buy some size 32 x 30 jeans today when I'd been stuck at 34x30 for a good while!! Not that 34x30 was anything to sneeze at, mind you.14

Down another pant size!23

Another of my friends/family has lost a ton of weight - 75lbs.
Introducing them to MFP (after they noticed my success last year) was a huge factor!
Inspires me anew!!39 -
Totally agree! It's the 'Fail better' that actually works. Cause you will mess up, overeat, not do the workout, etc., but getting back on track after and for longer periods is the way to results!23

Yes, it's marvelous! Speaking of marvelous, you're looking absolutely tremendous and your transformation is nothing less than marvelous--BOOM!5 -
This morning I ran for 2kms straight! Then did 4 more KMs of short walk/run intervals.
But I haven’t run for 2km for about 7 years! I feel amazing. One step closer to running a full 5K!21 -
Went to wash some windows at our church today so pulled on an old pair of jeans as I was going to go ride after I was done. Had to keep pulling them up and was glad there was no one around to see. Got home and changed as I didn't want to fight with them on my ride. Another pair for the too big pile.
I started tracking my bike miles May 2016 and just missed getting to 3000 miles last year so was determined to do it this year. I was going through my miles last night and realized I had missed logging one 20 plus mile ride so was closer than I thought so was able to take advantage of our warm December weather and now have 3017 miles on the year. Who knew we would have several 50-60 degree days in Iowa this late in the fall. Although several of the days were very windy and challenging.
Next goal to get to 6000 miles from when I started keeping track. only 95 miles to go, by end of year maybe?
Also not weight related but got the Christmas tree up and our spare room cleaned and rearranged to make better use of the space.

Walked in the Jingle Bell 5K this morning under my goal of 45:00. Finished with chip time of 44:37 and average pace of 14:22. Woohoo! Then, because dog missed her walk and it was a beautiful December day, I walked her 2.65 miles this afternoon.26

The husband of a business colleague, whom I’ve met 4-5 times, introduced himself to me tonight at a party. I wondered if he was kidding, but smiled and nodded. As he left, he apologized. He thought he was meeting my sister. I don’t have a sister! He didn’t recognize me -100lbs.!32

I bought 3 pairs of jeans several months ago, all the same size but one pair was a little tighter than the others. I put on a little more weight and that pair of jeans ended up in the back of the wardrobe. I then got the impetus to get off my butt, cut refined sugar from my diet and change the composition of my body. It's been 7 weeks since I started and while I feel better, weigh 16 lbs less and feel less bloated I haven't seen much of a difference. Until I was getting clothes out this morning and I decided to try on those jeans. And they fit better than when I bought them. I'm still the same clothing size but boy does it feel good to know I'm going in the right direction.22
