I have been losing weight at a pretty good pace and I always tell myself I'm starting to look and feel different but I never really believe it. Last night I went to the movies with my brother in-law and for the first time that I can remember I could sit in the theater seat comfortably without having to lift one of the arm rests. No only did I fit but I had room to spare! It really helped me realize that losing weight really is making a difference in my life. Kind of neat.

    That's a great NSV. I had a similar experience with an airplane seat on a long flight.

    Being so uncomfortable on planes was one of the things that really motivated me to start this. I found myself passing up opportunities to visit family because I didn't want to fly.

    Congratulations! I can't wait until I can get on an airplane and not to have to ask for a seat belt extension!

    I had the same experience on a flight recently. So nice not to take up every damned square inch of the seat and then a little more, and having to deal with people sighing and rolling their eyes when they saw me coming.

    Congrats!
