Mine was buying a pair of size 14 jeans. I've never been that size as either a teenager or adult. My highest size was 24.

I recently bought a pair of 14's as well, after getting up to a 26. Isn't it a great feeling?

Went to McDonald's drunk and came out with nothing but a cup of water

How on earth did you manage that? I commend your will power it's much higher than mine.

I tried on a mens Walking Dead t-shirt yesterday that I absolutely loved, not expecting it to fit because it was a size small - the only size the shop had left - and in mens clothing I normally wear a medium (I started mfp wearing an XL.) I was amazed to find that it fit! A teeny bit clingy at the lower part of my abdomen where I carry most of my fat, but still a fit, I was over the moon! I had to buy it, even though it's not exactly t-shirt weather now, lol.

I fit in my little black dress again whooooohoooooo

I can go up a flight of stairs and not be totally out of breath this week.

This vintage etsy buy came in the mail today, and IT FITS!!

The dress is amazing, you fit into it perfectly!

Thanks cblue315! I was so pumped to put it on and have it actually fit. I had taken my measurements, and it should have fit, but when it came out of the package I said “no way!” haha Now I just have to find somewhere to wear it! haha

Had 700+ extra calories to eat to reach my net goal, so had a mars bar and ENJOYED it without feeling guilty! Sounds ridiculous, but that was the first guilt free chocolate I have had in over 4 years!!!

You do know you don't have to reach the net goal MFP sets, right?
And that MFP overestimates calories burned? Safer not to eat them back, or only have 1/3 to 1/2 once in a while.

MKEgal I think your comment to Rodderick89 was kind of rude she is proud of her accomplishment and treated herself she doesn't need you to tell her how things work if she has been eating back her exercise calories and is still losing weight then it is working for her. Nobody cares for a know it all!

I'm glad someone else picked up on that. This is a 'victories' thread. Please don't bring down someone else's accomplishment regardless of it you think it is a success or not.

How was I taking away from her treating herself & enjoying her candy?
She probably only had about 1/2 of those 700 calories, and it sounds like this is a rare thing, which is what I recommended. (Actually, my doctor & dietician said not to eat back ANY exercise calories.)

And I've seen so many people here (usually newbies) who don't understand. Most appreciate knowing how MFP works, including the errors, so they can be successful. Sorry you don't see the value in knowing the truth. Maybe after you've been here a while you might.
BTW, the ad hominems should stop. Attacks are not appropriate.

I just bought new jeans from the misses section, NOT the plus size section for the first time in 7 years. I am on cloud 9!

MKEgal. I think your post was right on with the advise of not eating back exercise calories. I also know you did it to be healpful and not rude or mean. I also believe not all calories are equal. If all you eat for one week is 1500 cals a day of birthday cake you will loose weight but not get healthy. Eating back exercise calories, especially in candy, is not a good idea. The problem I think is that this is not a forum for for advise, but rather a place to make people feel better sharing there victories.

I ran a 5k turkey trot yesterday.... ran the whole time!
