    I can fit into my old jeans I hadn't worn in years!

    I paced myself at a 5 on it...I think I was trying to go too fast in the past...try that and see if it helps!

    This thread makes me smile :smile:

    My latest NSV was yesterday when I realised I feel so much smaller when I put my hands at the top of my hips! The fat at the back (love handles) has almost disappeared and that must be why my jeans are fallin g off me although my measurements seem to be the same (I don't measure there!)

    Best of all though, I finally feel confident enough to not wear "cover up" clothes. Long-ish shirts to hide my lower tummy. Loose fitting shirts. Tank tops with a button up top over it that covers my stomach. Light jackets even when the weather didn't call for it. All to cover up my body, my stomach -the body I felt so uncomfortable in. So many warm San Francisco days spent in more layers than I wanted to. Not anymore. Now I go out in a simple top, and the feeling of freedom, to feel the air on my skin, to feel like a ::part:: of the world, is something I just can't put into words.

    I've never been more than about 25 pounds overweight so I have never had this experience ... but this brought tears to my eyes. You MUST be feeling so incredibly good having this newfound freedom. I don't know you at all but I'm so happy for you - I want to cheer and dance! :flowerforyou:

    I am not huffing and puffing through my mouth while I take walks. I am able to go longer because I do not assume I am dehydrated because of dry mouth.

    So inspiring NSV's here.

    As for me - I have realised today that I do not own a single item of clothing, which isn't too big on me. i've spend half a day going through my wardrobe and boxes in the garage, pulling things out and trying them on just to conclude that there is nothing there which would have a nice fit on me. Bitter sweet - I wont be getting this iPhone 6 I wanted as I need entire wardrobe of new clothes !

    I've just been out and replaced my whole collection of underwear. I have always been a UK size 14-16 and am delighted that I've had to change it all to my new size - UK 10's, yay!

    I finally, FINALLY got my bike in the shop this Friday. Thunder is getting a tune up and maybe a new derailer. I know for some it seems late in the season to start riding, but I winter ride if it's not snowing to hard in the valley.

    I had to take two buses and Trax to get it there, but the day was beautiful, so there ya go.

    SO excited...

    That's awesome! What a transformation...congrats! Can't wait to say the same!
    Went to buy a new skirt for a date, and tried on some other stuff for the heck of it - and every single item I brought in the fitting room was a small. Its still kind of surreal to me - I used to be 262 lbs, size 24 pants, 42DD bra, XXL or sometimes XXXL shirt.

    Now I'm in a small? I mean not everything small fits, you know how clothes run different. Some smalls I can't fit. But at least half of the stuff I take into fitting rooms these days are a small. If it looks like it runs really small I'll get a medium.

    I now have definition in the back of my thighs right under my bottom and noticed my booty is getting rounder! :-D

    I bought shirts and pants from Target, not a Big 'n' Tall store for the first time since 9th grade.

    I beat my old PR (personal record) in a half marathon yesterday by FIVE minutes! That's a lot! From 2:02 to 1:57, roughly a 9 minute mile. Granted the course was all downhill so that helped quite a bit. But hey I'll take it. :drinker:

    Today I had a mock interview to prepare for pharmacy school interviews later this month. Went to put on the skirt suit I bought last spring and it is waaaaaaaaaaay too big! I have to go get it tailored to get it to fit! Not like I had wiggle room; I could not wear it out of the house it was so big on me. YAAAAAAAAAY! for my waistline. BOOOOOOO! for my wallet LOL

    Thank you :) Today was a gorgeous warm day here in SF, and I spent the whole day in a tank top - it felt great :)

    A friend from uni wrote to me on Facebook tonight to say that she could see that I have lost weight and she really envies my hourglass figure! I don't think she could ever know what an amazing compliment that is :heart:

    I went clothes shopping today. I fit into a 22 pant! I was a 28 in April. Also, I bought 3x tops vs 5x :)

    Hitting the exercise bike three days in a row now. I know it isn't much but it's great to get back in the exercising groove again! Exercising always gets my mind off the bad food too. I love it!

    at my new gym i'm doing cardio with an interval intensity program (rather than interval training with different speeds). i used to do this at my old gym with different cardio machines, but could never do it on the elliptical. now i am. last week i could only manage 10 mins; this week i managed 15 :) i think my form is improving with my romanian deadlifts, and i've added weights to my stepups where i was only doing bodyweight before.

    i'm back into my favourite skirt (which means i am near a UK 20 again - it's a big-fitting size 20 - i was realistically between a UK 22-24 a few months ago) and able to fit into a new skirt i'd bought a few months back because i adored the pattern even though it cut into me so bad when i tried it on.

    a dress i bought a month or so ago that was comfortably loose on me is now bordering on too big and gaping at the neck and back.

    and today i have indulged with cake & cider but am still under my net calories goal and i'm not hungry. win!

    I had a former workmate ask me today in a genuine manner if I had lost weight . He's a pretty gruff, mans mans type of guy so it's not something I expected of him. Was good to hear.

    I feel like I am posting a bit too frequently here but I tried on some of my winter coats today that were too tight last year and they fit and have room in!! One of them is a vintage coat my DH bought me when we met before marriage and pregnancy! I cannot wait to wear it again :happy:

    Went to the gym after a few days off, thought I'd struggle to get back into it, but ended up adding 10kg to my bench press :)

    I bought a sweater a month ago...which didn't really fit me well. Today is my 11th day into this journey all over again....and my sweater fits SO MUCH better.
