I ran into a high school classmate who I haven't seen in a year and the first thing she says to me after "hi!" is "Wow, you've lost weight!!" Gave me a pretty good feeling all over .:happy:0

I had a huge one last week. I got married almost 13 years ago and thought that I could never get my dress to fit again. Anyway it's sitting on thop of my closet in a box and I kind of made it my goal for it to fit since someone close to me said that we could never get back down to where we were before we got married. :explode: I had been itching to try it but didn't because I was afraid that I would be dissapointed. Anyway on friday when I got home I tried it on and guess what? It fit, after 13 years and 2 kids.0

Mine is clothes related too !! the pants in the closet, the ones that had been up on the shelf for 6 weeks since I bought them because, in a rush and they were on clearance, they were my "size" but didnt fit right, today they fit fine!
oh yeah , and my used to be favorites,
i cant wear without looking like im trying to "sag" them..
and that is not good look for a 41 year old white woman ,
no matter who you are ...
^ THIS!
The other day no less than 3 co-workers told me that I really need to get some new pants. So, yesterday I went through my tote of "someday I'll get back into these" clothes. I found 4 pairs of work pants that fit me now and 2 pairs of jeans! One of the work pants even still had the tags. I guess the old comfy WAAAY too big favorites are getting shelved.
Why shelve them?! Get rid of them! You're not going to be needing them in the future!0 -
I can feel my shoulder bones.
And the other day my daughter was sitting in my lap. She stood up and walked away and I looked back down and was SHOCKED to see the floor instead of my belly.0 -
I saw someone I haven't seen in 6 months and they said "have you lost more weight?" and I said "No, just walking more". guess it shifting SOMETHING!0

I went to a charity sale last night and picked up posh dress in a UK 8 - I still think I will be at least a 12 as I have always had big boobs so I wasn't very confident it would fit but it did - perfectly! And it was a bargain.0

I ran SIX miles yesterday! SIX MILES! I'd run up to five miles twice in the past, but never six. And, it was actually 6.2 miles! And it was outside, with hills and sun and sweat! =D
But then, in order to have my hands free for stretching, I put my phone on top of my car...and I didn't remember that until I got home. This is the second time that I've murdered my phone. Sigh.0 -
I had a bit of a shock today. Unfortunately, I never did a before pic and should have done. I like to see my progress how I look on my Brothers Harley bike.
I have just taken this pic and the yellow line is where my stomach used to be. It wasn't very comfortable having the petrol tank under it. Since then, have lost 202 pounds (14 stone 6 pounds).
If I had a licence, I would be on it right now.

I've always hated dresses - I feel that I look terrible in them. But today the weather is warm, so I put on a dress for work. I feel pretty good.0

2 NSVs for me this week even though the scale isn't moving much
Bought 2 pair of capris a while back - one that were quite snug (size 10) but I would be that size once spring comes and the other a goal size (size 8).. We'll the size 10 were pretty baggy and the 8 looked just fine (Liz Clayborne must run big 'cuz can't believe I'm a 8)
Ribs - not the BBQ kind but the kind you can feel when you rub your sides!0 -
i finished the 30 day shred in 30 days!!!!!!
AWESOMENESS!!!!!0 -
I can now to 8 real push up, breezing through 30ds level 1 and can jog. I couldn't do any of this a few weeks ago. It was hard when I first started walking, I was doing a 2 mile walk while chasing my 5 year old on her bike to get my oldest daughter from school. I would have to stop under the guise of being thirsty. ETA I think the main reason I had no endurance was because I was eating 800-900 calories and this wasn't nearly enough to allow me to function so I was tired and really grouchy all the time. I'm so glad I found MFP!0

Saw my ortho surgeon today--he immediately remarked that I had lost weight since my last visit just three weeks ago!0

You rock! Congratulations.I had a bit of a shock today. Unfortunately, I never did a before pic and should have done. I like to see my progress how I look on my Brothers Harley bike.

one of the attorneys I work for saw me walking up the hall and yelled out "hey! you're shrinking!" MADE MY MORNING!!!0
-
I did half of the P90X Shoulders and Arms workout last night and I was able to do chair dips with one leg fully extended and the other raised in the air, while talking! Now I can't wait to exercise again!0

Mine are all clothes related. I've been putting off getting new clothes because season change is coming, and why buy something that I'm going to shrink out of? Well, I ordered some shorts because I know the ones I wore in the past will be too big, and the size 14s I ordered all fit. And one pair I mistakenly ordered in a 12 will fasten, but they're a little tight to wear out in public. I'm confident that once shorts weather rolls around, I'll be able to wear them.
And my spring jacket looks like total crud on me - it was a 2XL, and looked like a sack. So my husband and I went to find another one. I would have bought the large, but he had me try on the medium. It's a little snug around the hips, but it zips. And as he said, "It will fit for more than 6 months." (He knows I want to lose almost 60 more pounds.) I haven't worn a medium anything since probably freshman year of high school!0 -
My NSV for 11Apr13...I've walked everyday for the past 5 days ~~ 4 miles. For motivation, I've been going to the thrift store and buying a size smaller pair of jeans...when I was wearing 48...I bought 46...when I fit the 46...I bought 44...when I fit 44...I bought 42...thats were I'm at right now...and the beautiful thing about it is that the 42's, although just a "tad" snugg (for now)...fit...guess I'll be going to find a pair of 40's in the VERY NEAR FUTURE...Life is GOOD!!!0
-
It's a little thing, but I've had to tighten my belt one notch.0
-
My NSV for 4/11/13, ive gotten several compliments from co workers about how great i am looking and how beautiful i am! What an ego boost!0
-
One of my students (who is still learning English) told me, "You look skin!" It took me a few moments to realize that she meant "skinny." Haha!0
-
I was changing clothes after work yesterday and talking to my husband, he started laughing at me because in my haste I took my pants off without unbuttoning them... but they came right off!!
Then this morning I was walking through the house and realized that I couldn't hear my jeans rubbing together... which means my legs aren't rubbing together anymore! I'm getting a shape again!!0 -
My 3 year old son saw me jogging on the threadmill the other night and asked me if i was exercising, i told him yeah, and then he give me a thumbs up and said "good job daddy".0
-
My dad is going to pick me up to take me to work tomorrow and asked if I wanted McDonalds breakfast. I said yes, added roughly what I'm planning on eating tomorrow and text him back to tell him I didn't want breakfast! I don't think I have ever done that in my whole entire life. Man porridge is going to suck tomorrow... but I did it!0
-
I bench pressed 80 pounds for the first time in my life. I'm so excited!0
-
welp. my scale hates me, so all I got are nsv's :ohwell:
I seem to be narrowing my center of gravity. I look smaller, though the scale is going up & on a whim, I bought a grumpy cat shirt online in Junior's XL and it freakin' fit!!!!! :drinker: YAY MEEEeeee!!!
I was able to wear a pair of pj's that I couldn't before.0 -
Way to go EVERYBODY!!! You are all awesome!!0
-
I needed to tighten the waist on my Ergo carrier to carry my 19 month old on the walk yesterday! Scale and i are fighting these days, but I have stuck to good food choices for 8.5 weeks and it is a lifestyle change regardless of what the scale says!!!0
-
It is a "no elevator" day for me! I wore my flats to work and am only taking the stairs. I have to take "breathing" breaks on 7 floors and higher, but still stayiing out of the elevators! :smokin:0
-
We had 2 days here this week where the weather finally hit 65 degrees. I wanted to get out some capris to where to work and NONE of them fit. They were all too big...a lot too big. I wasn't willing to fold the waist over becuase they were too big everywhere. I ended up in a dress that I haven't been able to wear for a few years! Wearing the dress is nice but it stinks not having pants that fit! LOL0
