Okay I know this might not mean much to some people but I have had to use bath sheet instead of regular towels for a long time. Before I started getting focused on my health and this journey I had gotten so big that i couldn't wrap a bath sheet around my whole body. This week I have noticed that is no longer a gap between the ends of my towel.Actually there is about 2+inches of overlap :D Things have been starting to slow down for me or at least that is how I feel so this means a lot to me! Next towel goal to be able to use a regular size body towel for my body not just my hair! :D

    This happened for me about a month ago, with being able to use a regular towel instead of a bath sheet. It is a great feeling! Congratulations!

    That is fabulous! One, your body is shrinking--kudos--and , two, you have lost 17 lbs in 8 weeks. That is 2 pounds, 2 oz, per week. That is hard to do and you have done it. Wonderful!

    My weight loss was set on one pound per week, so I lost 26 pounds in about 26 weeks. I have been ecstatic about my progress.
    If you lose one or two pounds per week, you are a winner on this site. Never feel bad about your progress. Any healthy loss is a good loss.
    Hugs! :drinker: (lots of water)

    That is a great accomplishment! I don't have any bath sheets but I'm almost completely wrapped in my bath towels. Congratulations!

    haha I feel you!!!! I hated knowing I couldn't use certain towels in the house 'cause they wouldn't cover my body. Now I can use the smallest one and only have a little gap in the middle! :happy:

    Hehe I was thinking this earlier when I got out of the bath wrapped my towl around myself, and it stayed in place :) usually it falls off after a few seconds or I have to hold it... no more :)

    Great isn't it.

    good job - keep it going. I love it when it's the little stuff you notice....towels fitting, underwear shifting because it's too big...having to buy a new bra...I'm just starting over and can't wait to fit into things again!:laugh:
