Seeing the difference in my face!

Yesterday I went to a department store for shopping support for my mom. i am currently a size 12, and never thought I'd be any lower than a 10 because I was too "big boned" (largest size was 18 at 250lbs)
NSV: I held up a size SIX and decided this is my new goal size. I am not big boned, I am FAT. I am down to 194 lbs at 5'11, which is great....but I am not done, like I thought I would be. I didn't think it was POSSIBLE to be that thin....and now I do!
Those size 6 pants will BE MINE!!!
NSV #2: Went to Wegmans (best supermarket ever-they have the most amazing desserts and hot bar) for snacks for our company meeting today. I chose grilled chicken with 2 sides of veggies for lunch, and chose cookies and fresh fruit for the meeting-I put a chocolate pudding pie back on the shelf-i knew I would have had a VERY large piece if I brought it back to the office...planning to have the fruit instead3 -
Benching 2 plates for 6 sets of doubles. Gains!1

Had a session with my pt today. Towards the end, as I was exhausted and shaky, I was supposed to do 20 sit up/Russian twists with a 15lb medicine ball, followed by a 1 minute plank, repeated 3 times. While he was showing me exactly how to do it, I'm thinking to myself "there's no way in hell I can do this...." Sure enough, I killed it!3

My gray dress pants that used to be my "feeling skinny" dress pants that still gave me a muffin top..I'm wearing them today and you can probably fit a small turkey in the gap space in the back.
Saturday I went shopping at TJMaxx and they had the CUTEST Betsey Johnson dress but it only went to a size 14. On a whim I figured why not, and tried it on. It zipped! Sadly I could outline every bump on my body so I didn't buy it...but that was exciting.
Lol...a small *turkey*?!? hahahaha. Great NSV, and love your creative wording! That is unless you actually stuffed a small turkey back there, and in that case...wth?!

Just had to buy new jeans because my former "skinny" jeans were falling off!
sidenote: I tried on a pair of skinny-cut jeans while I was there for kicks and omg never ever lol Definitely a boot-cut girl.0 -
I am wearing size 12 jeans from topshop and a size 12 vest from warehouse. That won't mean much to non UK folk but they are shops that I always dreamed of shopping in. It's well over 15 years since I was in a 12 (I was probably 13/14) and at my highest buying the odd size 20. The scales may not always be kind but I'm a lot kinder to myself these days too.
Also, a couple of weeks ago I saw my dentist for the first time once November and she nearly fell off her chair at how different I look. Delighted doesn't cover it!

I have gotten up every morning since last Wednesday at 4:30am (except Sunday took a rest day) to workout in the morning because I knew I wouldn't have time to do it in the evening. I have never I repeat NEVER been a morning person. I don't like to deal with people in the mornings let alone Jillian Michaels pushing me to the next circuit but I have done it! Probably the best part is that I actually enjoy it!3

Awesome work! It's so good to know that you have nailed your exercise for the day before breakfast!0 -
I was given a box of gourmet chocolates last Friday as a thank you gift. I shared them with my husband, but strictly rationed us to only having two a day between us. And they lasted until last night! Normally we would have scoffed them all in 10minutes! And we discussed it last night and felt we enjoyed them more in small portions because you get to really savour each of the flavours, and got a sweet treat each night for a whole week. Who would have thought! So now I think we will stick with that approach from now on3

I squatted 125lbs 7x yesterday. even though I'm sure most people consider it very light I've been excited to hit that # for a while. I was so nervous I had my daughter come out in case I hurt myself but I was suprised i was able to keep perfect form and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!2

I biked up a hill in my neighborhood that I've been trying for weeks, and normally give up on half way through and walk the bike up. But I made it4

Someone finally asked me if I have been losing weight! I know some people hate that but I was so happy to hear it. Yesterday someone else asked what I have been doing to lose weight.
Also I did three real push-ups yesterday. Doesn't sound like much but for me a month ago I couldn't push myself up even a little bit.

Lol!! Thank you. No small poultry were harmed in the wearing of my pants. The gap space that happens in the back of too big pants is one of my biggest pet peeves, but it happens constantly because my butt and waist ratio is wackadoo.2 -
Finally nailed in a 270lb squat for a triple at 180lbs, hitting the 1.5x body weight for reps goal.1

I bought a rash guard from Lands' End catalog last week in a plus-size 1X, one size down from the 2X that I have worn for at least 5 years, hoping it wouldn't be too tight. I tried it on, and I was swimming in it (heh). They had a 0X, but I decided to order a women's size XL and L, hoping one of them would fit, but thinking I was probably wasting my time.
They arrived today. I tried on the XL - it was a little big, but wearable. Then I tried on the L.
It fit perfectly! It wasn't even tight, in fact it wasn't too big, and it wasn't too small, it was JUST RIGHT! (insert Goldilocks emoji here). I LOVE THIS!

I realized that my thighs don't bounce off of each other any more. Like, not at all. Not when I walk, not when I run. So I finally looked at my legs in the mirror...seeing some shape happening. Made my heart dance!1

Some of my 'M' shirts seem too large.
Well, I'm pear-shaped, so that's okay, I guess?
The archery instructor at my archery range told me yesterday that he estimates that I shot at least 300-500 arrows since I started doing archery. That's super cool considering that I've always been physically weaker than other people of my age and size.
I also managed to hit the exact center of the target once. I'm quite bad at aiming (we're shooting with blank bows so there's no fancy aiming thingy.)
Apart from when I was out of the city or because of work-related seminars I managed to go to my fitness club 3 times a week since I started going again regularly in May. Before that it was an on and off with me for several months. I really have to kick my own butt really hard to go there whenever I don't feel like going. And with the current heatwave it's becoming even harder.
(We're currently experiencing a heat that is not normal for my country.)
Edit: Forgot that one: some dude checked me out on the sidewalk. Kind of gross since I don't like men but oh ... ok?2 -
I completed week 2 of the NHS Strength and Flex program / podcasts this morning Here's to stating level 3 on Monday0

Bought my first ever bikini this week. The best bit is the fact that I picked out loads of bikini bottoms to try on and when I put the first pair on (a size 16 according to the hanger) I thought, "Hmmm, a little tight, possibly not the best style/cut but they're OK.', then I checked the label and they were actually a size 12! I also bought a size 12 dress - only tried it on because they didn't have 'my' size so I thought I'd give it a go. The idea that I could actually, genuinely, properly be a size 12 (if not now then in the very near future) is so strange to me. Definitely a victory but still strange.1

Woohooo! Happy Birthday to me! I'm down another inch and a half in the waist, and can button the "test pants" for my personal challenge. I couldn't get those pants over my hips in June and I'm hoping to wear them on Labour Day. On my way there!1

Keep up the great posts you guys.
Yesterday I was shopping with my daughter, she works at Maurices and they were having a big sale on their clearance, so I was actually fitting into a medium in most things, I was XL in January. I also tried on a pair of 11/12 jeans and they felt great but were the way too low waist so I didn't get them. Plus it's summer and I hope I will be a size smaller when it's warm enough for jeans. I usually hate trying on clothes because I hate the way I look in them, but I actually liked a lot of things, only things that were tight or clingy on the tummy I didn't like. Of course that's the last to go, but it's going.
My ring is also spinning and I hate that. I had within the year had it made bigger, I wish now I hadn't.0 -
I can get into US waist 33 jeans now!1

I'll be at my goal weight later this year. It'll be a pleasure to renew next time.
Oh, wow! I just read this and went to get my driver's license to look at it. My highest weight was 230 when I started this process, and my "lie weight" was 220 on my license. On Sunday, I weighed in at 190!!!! Not only am I 40 pounds down now, I am 30 pounds under my "lie weight"!!!!!
Congrats to you and a hat tip to you as well. Thanks for posting this, this has made my day!!
The last time I renewed my license my "lie weight" was 250, which was 20-30 less than I actually weighed. I am now so far under that weight (and with a new hair color) that it doesn't even look like me anymore. The last time I was carded the guy looked back and forth a few times before he just shrugged and handed it back to me. I guess it is time for a new one!
