    I just returned a pair of XL shorts - because I needed L. I don't even remember the last time I wore a size without an X in it.

    I was able to wear my goal dress today, I'm not sure what size it is as I bought it almost 10 years ago! This is the first time I've been able to wear it. It's almost too big now!

    I also went from a size 10 dress size to a size 6. I'm standing up in a wedding and couldn't be more thrilled!

    I can fit into my initial goal pants!! Ok, well...they zip, give me a bit of camel toe and are 20+ yrs old, so are a bit mom-jeanish (to say the least)...but those mofo's zip and that counts!! YAY!!

    That just made me crack up. "Those mofo's zip". BAHAHAHAHA

    My YAY moment is that today I did almost 38 miles on the bike which is by far the longest journey I have ever done in a day. Conclusion - I need a new saddle. And a massage.

    My YAY is that today, I got on my BEAUTIFUL bike for the first time in two years! Considering that my butt feels fine, might I suggest that you look into getting a Brooks leather saddle? I think that is the only part that WASN'T uncomfortable during the ride!!!

    Had a few lately:
    - Dr. took me off HCTZ because my blood pressure is normal
    - When I go to the store for t-shirts, I can buy "L" without trying them on and know they will fit
    - Got a pair of shorts this week with a 34 waist because 35 and 36 were too big (when I started I was wearing 38 waist shorts/jeans
    - Bought two sets of workout clothes because I was too small for the outfits I used to wear working out

    Great day here! Woke up and found myself down 1.6 more pounds. And tonight, I burned more calories tonight on my walk than ever before because I'm able to go faster now! Soon I think I'll have to start to add in some jogging. :)

    This weekend has been an excellent one for "yay's"! :-) On Saturday I weighed myself and am 138lbs. My goal for June was to get under 140lbs. This morning I ran 10.03km in 57:54. My goal for June was to run a 10km in under 60min :-)

    Wow! Reading this post is super inspiring--congratulations to everyone on your successes! You are fantastic!

    As for me, I went in my closet today to try on the last items that were too small and they all either fit, or were too big. I am officially an American size 8. One more size to goal (and clothes shopping!!!).

    Keep up the great work guys!

    I turned 41 today, and this is the outfit I wore when I turned 21.

    Wouldn't wear it out anywhere, but I think I still do it justice.

    You go girl!!! Congrats on being a fabulous 40!

    I was the Big Loser in our local contest!!! I love 36 lbs and 22 inches!!! Yeah....still have a long way to go but BL2 starts in the Fall I am have already signed up. My pants from my new work wardrobe, purchased in Sept, are way too big. Jeans bought in Feb, way too big. Pants in a storage bin from 2 yrs ago (saved because they were expensive) fit perfectly!!! :bigsmile: :happy: :smile:

    I've had a few in the past couple of weeks:

    1. As of this morning, I am a mere 5 kilos away from a healthy BMI.
    2. When I went to a musical a couple of weeks ago I bought my customary show t-shirt (I have A LOT of them, mostly all too big). My mum persuaded me to buy a medium which, as I discovered when I got home, was an Australian size 10. I figured there was NO WAY it would fit me....but it did! I wore it the next day with size 12 jeans.
    3. I was able to wear the cute tartan skirt that didn't fit me all last winter.

    I'm wearing shorts I wore 12 years ago. I haven't worn a pair of shorts other than to the post office in years. (I run a home based business and mail packages daily.) We went to lunch at my step-son and dil's house today. Granted, that's not exactly "public," but I thought nothing of jumping into shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops to head to their house for a barbeque. It's so much easier to just jump into jeans or shorts and not have to stew and fret about what to wear.

    Prior to starting this journey toward fitness I rarely left the house and wasn't optimistic about anything. I took a week of vacation from work last week. Over that week I went to a comedy show and three concerts. Getting out and enjoying lift is my NSV. A year ago I wore 6xl shirts. I'm down to a 3x now. I bought some concert tees at the shows and chose them in size XL because I don't want them to be two big soon. Things are going great and I'm optimistic it will continue.

    I LOVE this, kudos to you. It just makes my day when I read about people enjoying their lives again. Keep up the amazing work!

    Today is a new day new NSV.

    When I started this journey, my size large scrubs were getting really tight. I've lost weight before, and I had 1 set of size medium scrubs. I decided to try them on this morning, and they fit! I'm wearing them to work today.

    I'm also in a fabulous mood, I just woke up that way, it has nothing to do with my weight.

    Have a wonderful day everyone!

    Joined a Turbo Kick class a month ago and now we are in a competition to see who will lose the most body fat. Winner gets $300. I am starting to strength train to make more of that fat burning muscle.
