I'll go first.

I gained a couple lbs back on vacation (we expected, no big deal) and I've been bloaty all week.

BUT I still had to borrow a belt from my husband this morning to because my work jeans are waaaay to big, Since I don't' own a belt.

So now I'm just hoping that no one notices the superheroes belt that I'm wearing. lolol.

Well, I tried on all of my jean capri's this morning while trying to get dressed for work and I have 1 pair that fits. I put the rest in a pile for goodwill. Two sizes down from where I was! Now I wish I had the money to buy clothes to fit!

I'm officially back into single digit jeans makes me a happy camper. Too bad though I only have one pair, going to have to deal with baggy, falling down jeans till I get the funds to replace them.

Also fitting into more size small shirts, all my XL ones are just getting too big and baggy. Kinda stinks in a way since I finally had found a style I loved. Now I need to start all over.

Yeah, I'm belting for a little while because I'm close to my goal and I don't want to buy clothes until I'm at my final size.

I bought my first new pair of dress pants for work because all of my other pants were getting way too big! I was a size 18, now in a 14! Woot, woot!!! And, I'm only 6.7 lbs away from hitting 50lbs lost and being under 200 lbs!

My extra small belt is at the last hole, I just bought this belt in May and it was at the second hole from the end. I thought this would be my good belt that would last me.

I guess I should celebrate this, not sure yet!

Went to the Doctor the other day for some bloodwork results and she said to me, "you must eat really heathy." It was so cool to know that my healthier lifestyle was showing in my bloodwork.

I met a good friend for lunch today who haven't seen for a couple months. He first commented on my weight loss, which everyone does these days. But he also said I seem "happier". I guess it shows. He is the first person to notice that in me. :happy:

Awesome, those non visual aspects are tough to come by.

I fit into my Daryl Dixon shirt again (the white shirt I have on in my profile pic). So happy!!!

I was able to put on and button size 12 pants that wouldn't go over my thighs a couple months ago. The last time I was able to wear those pants comfortably was 2012! They are still too tight to wear to work but soon!

I popped into a charity shop today (goodwill for you USians), spotted a gorgeous Phase 8 dress (not sure what the US version is...) in a size 10 (that's a US 6)

Tried it on.

Twas gorjus.

The assistant behind the counter said she wished she had a figure to wear that! And as I left the shop with the dress in my bag, an elderly man stopped me and said "I just had to say, good choice, that colour was lovely on you!"

For you fashionistas, it's a tea-dress/ prom style, nipped in waist with full skirt, black with a purple rose design, net skirtting underneath.

I love all the good things happening to everyone, sometimes it is all those little things-great job everyone!!

Today I had a fitness assessment at the gym I joined earlier this week, and a trainer was asking me to do all sorts of things. I couldn't do a single pushup, but I was able to plank for 40 seconds! She seemed slightly surprised, which made me happy.

Yay! To everyone, it's the NSV's that are the best! The pants I wore today wouldn't even fit over my thighs a year ago, and, better yet, I can even shimmy out of them, if I try real hard, without undoing the zipper. But it's also the confidence I feel more than anything that makes me smile. Again, yay to all the hard work everyone's put into it!

I put on a pair of small vintage size 8 jeans I bought but was not able to wear comfortably, and they are now PERFECT!!!! (And may be pictured in my profile pic shortly.....)

I have so many I don't even know where to start.

- Bought size 29 jeans (couldn't believe it!)
- Can now wear normal boots that aren't "wide calf".
- All the dress pants I bought last winter after I started losing are now WAY too big.
- Someone at work told me today "WOW! you're legs look really skinny in those jeans" :flowerforyou:
- My legs don't rub together anymore when I wear dresses or shorts.

I'm so super happy with my weight loss and hope to get the last little bit off here soon.

Took my measurements this morning and my right thigh is 3.75"s smaller than it was in December 2013. I'm happy with that

I finished week 6 day three on couch to 5k today. Proud to say I ran for 22 minutes without stopping!!!!!!! That's my NSV

at lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in 7 years, she asked me about my weight loss. I mentioned that I'm still going but only plan to lose about 10-15 lb more because "I don't want to be skinny or anything" and she said, "Girl you are skinny NOW. Seriously. But you look great."

I know I'm not skinny but that still felt nice!

Even though I've already used all my calories for today, I plan to ride my bike later so that I can eat dinner.

At least I haven't gone over yet!

I had a coworker tell me she didn't recognize me this morning.

Sort of scale-related but I also realized I now weigh less than I did when I got pregnant with my son 21 years ago!

Where do I begin.....
I bought a new pair of slacks two weeks ago and they fit perfect. I decided since the weather was cooler today that I would wear them out. I put them on and BAM! Now that are too big and I had to add a belt.

I ran into an acquaintance I had not seen in a few years and she did not even recognize me. We were both grocery shopping and she asked me about a zucchini recipe since I was stocking up on them. I said hi and told her what I was making (assuming she knew who she was talking to) and when I said her name she asked if we knew one another. Haha Granted the last time we saw one another I was 20lbs heavier and sported long black hair.

I received a text from one of my nephews who told me that I inspired him to get healthy and that he just wanted to let me know. I was moved to tears and this text made my day.
