I gave up hiking a couple months ago because of an encounter with not just one but two rattlesnakes on one of my hikes, I started hiking again this week and hiked 9 miles in three hikes. Not bad for falling off the horse and getting back on.

My favourite canvas belt has a metal snap-shut front which used to dig into my tummy fat when I sat down, to the point where it really hurt if I bent forward for something like tying my shoe. I realised today that it doesn't hurt now and I'm wearing the belt tighter than ever before, so my gut flab must be smaller. 2

I have two:
1. After a week away from the gym due to a nasty cold I had to unexpectedly travel for the weekend, which meant even more time off. I was feeling gross and bloated and discouraged. But for the first time I can remember, I didn't feel self conscious about my weight when flying. I didn't feel like the fat person that everyone hopes they don't have to sit by. And I didn't have to loosen any of the seat belts on my four flights. I know that's circumstantial, but I'll take it.
2. Ok this is gross, but today at work at a day care, I got some toddler poop smeared on my jeans due to a poorly fitting diaper. I still had to work for a few hours and I didn't have any extra clothes. My boss told me to take an extra pair of jeans she had. I was pretty sure they wouldn't fit, especially after seeing that they were a size 10 (I size I can never remember being - I was a 12 in sixth grade). BUT THEY FIT. PERFECTLY. I was completely amazed. And she said I can keep them because today was supposed to be my day off and I ended up getting pooped on! Who knows if they'll still fit after I wash them, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Best boss ever. Also, totally worth getting pooped on.5 -
I had 8 different people at my husband's work comment and/or notice my weight loss recently. Also, today I want shopping at Gap outlet and was able to move down a size. My husband's is so proud and supportive, he went with me to encourage me as I tried things on (hate clothes shopping!) So excited!!!2

Taking steps to working on my self-esteem by keeping a journal and reading various self-help books...which has allowed me to end a 'friendship' which was draining my sense of self-worth and distort my view of my general attractiveness. I'm sad yet relieved at the same time.2

Yesterday instead of putting the kids in the car and driving them from house to house, we took the jogging stroller and I sprinted in between each location. Nice little interval training, and we were out for over and hour! So it's a NSV because I had enough energy to last that long. So far today I have said no thanks to my oldest when he's offering me some of his loot from last night

LEG FARTS!!! I lost my left leg in the line of duty as a paramedic some 19 years ago and with my extensive weight loss lately, my prosthesis doesn't fit as it should and I lose suction that holds it onto my residual stump, so when I walk on it, it farts

Taking it one day at a time, I am thankful to say that with my higher power's help, I didn't eat one piece of Halloween candy yesterday or in the last 2 months! Major NSV (non scale victory) - I don't think I have ever done that in my whole life! I took a good look at the candy my students gave me yesterday and I was able to NOT give in!-1

I have clothes in various sizes ranging from 22 to 14...Well I ran out of clothes that fit, yesterday I tried on a pair of size 12 jeans and they fit...woohooo. I know most people aim for a size zero but I am 5'9" and my goal from the start was to fit in a size 12..I started out in March size 22. Now Im not exactly where I want to stop, we shall see ....
I just want to say everyone has done such a great job.1 -
My housemate asked if I'm losing weight, and I've reached that "arrrrgh SO CLOSE" point with a lot of clothes fitting.0

Two people in two days (both of whom I've seen in the last month) asking if I've lost weight. Apparently I've finally reached that "other people than your husband notice" phase! Oh, and today I'm wearing a dress (comfortably) that I haven't been able to zip up in over 8 years. Yay!!!1

How wonderful! I personally don't understand the draw of the size zero...I'd look like I'd spent 2 months on Survivor if I was that small. Congrats on your amazing progress so far and for the size 12 win!!I have clothes in various sizes ranging from 22 to 14...Well I ran out of clothes that fit, yesterday I tried on a pair of size 12 jeans and they fit...woohooo.

I started this journey 133 days ago, in a snug size 18 (heading toward a 20). I am now comfortably wearing a size 14. I'm also wearing my wedding rings again, which I haven't had on since 2003.2

Fit into a pair of stretch denim size 14's. Won't be long before I can fit into a genuine 14. I haven't done that since high school!
And my wedding ring doesn't fit any more. It's way too big. I guess a trip to the jeweler to get them resized is in order.1 -
I bought 2 new shirts this weekend in regular, not plus size.0
