    The owner of our boot camp instructed a class last night and noticed I am trimmer and my weight loss really shows :)

    People have noticed I now own more than one pair of pants and sweat clothes. LOL

    Full photo including (including occupant :o ) to follow – once 38” is reached (or) February 2015 – whichever happens first. I have been forced to buy clothes a couple times and now holding off until final goal is reached. DOWN 151 pounds!

    Even though it involves a scale, I'm still going to say it's a nsv.

    So on Monday I went to the dr for an appt. You know how they weigh you with one of those tall weight machines that have the weights at the top - a small one that goes to 150 lbs and the large one underneath that has the larger weight and notches at 150lb increments.

    Well the nurse obviously has to take a quick guess on what to start with, right? So I was very happy when she assumed that I was under 150 lbs since she didn't even move the big weight to the 150 lb pound notch first but started with the small weight on top.

    I ended up being just over 150 lbs (about 154) but was happy to see that she thought I was under 150 lbs.

    Is nice to read the changes that everyone is seeing :) Several nice things for me for this week:
    First time under 100kg in 20 years.
    Today I hit 99.6kg so I've left the obese bmi now.
    Bought new better fitting clothes this week, feel goodin them,some of them don't have any X's on the size labels.

    Having clothing issues, everything now looks too baggy for my taste... and I don't wan't to buy new clothes yet before I reach maintenance weight.
    Found an old pair of jeans from a decade ago that fits perfectly though.
    I keep punching holes in my belts but have to start over after a few weeks...
    Never thought I'd have to complain about weight loss consequences :smile:

    I ran into the same thing. I bought "some" clothes...including a suit I didn't want to buy but absolutely needed for one occasion. I only wore it for that occasion and sold it on eBay for a decent price (I still had my receipts etc.). As for belts, I had the local shoe repair place punch addit. holes for me (cost $2.00 for mult. holes in 2 belts) - they also will cut & re-buckle for $10. -- guess it depends on how much your belt cost etc. - just a thought.

    Congrats on your success. What a nice complaint to have...:)

    Thanks for the tip, it beats pulling out the dremel each time and it probably looks better.
    Anyway, I guess I'll have to buy a few "transition" clothes sooner or later... :)
    Congrat's on your weight loss too, pretty impressive!

    Back into my small size clothing and its comfortable and still doing lots of walking with jogging even though winter has set in. Normally I am done with running till spring by this time of year.

    Bought a pajama set in a size large. Not XXXL or XXXXL no extra's at all just large as. Feels good.

    That is exactly where I want to be - I can wear a few XL if they run big...but not all. Once I am fully into XL "only" I will be a happy camper. Congrats.

    Based on how you're doing with the challenge you'll get to your end goals too I'm sure :)

    Got a treadmill last week and bought a weight bench today, this will help me stay focused over the long dark cold winter months.

    Already posted this on my Home page but thought I’d share - Since I am within one size of goal (est. Feb.), I bought some bargains in that size today. Nautica shirt (orig. $69.50) paid $20.40; Nautica shorts (orig. 54.50) paid $10.50; Nautica Spring jacket (orig. $89.98) paid = $26.99; THAT IS $213.98 for $57.89!!! This NEVER happens in the Big/Tall stores – you pay through the nose even for junk!

    Quickly moved my left arm in one direction and my wedding band flew off...just over a year ago, I could barely get it off with a mountain of soap.

    You are having some awesome NSVs! I worry about losing my rings in the upcoming lbs lost as I am just now below my weight when I got them. Good problem to have I guess!

    This past week I thought to try on some clothes I had put away, things I didn't think would fit yet. I was amazed at how much I can wear now! I have jeans that fit!!!! Comfortably!!!

    I just don't even know what to do with myself right now. I haven't been this small in like 7 years and I am not even small. I cannot wrap my head around being even smaller. Just trying to soak in all the little victories and not get too freaked out and eat a tub of lard. ;)
