    I'm down two full sizes to a size 14. Went to the store today and on a whim decided to try on pants the next two sizes down. Got the 10s up to my hips and got the 12s all the way up and almost buttoned. They would have been too tight to wear out in public if they HAD buttoned/zipped but just seeing that made me realize how close I am to being a size I haven't seen in at least 10 or 11 years!

    Oh, and this probably says a lot about the ratio of my booty to my top but many of my XL tops are starting to look saggy and droopy on me. And here I always thought I was an hourglass, not a pear!

    Just went to Kohl's. I dropped 2 jean sizes, 2 shirt sizes, 2 coat sizes....scale hasn't budged much but that fat is melting off!! Big STFU to my mom who keeps telling me to stop lifting weights because I'll get bulky and look like a man. For once, I bought everything in the "regular" department versus plus. My biggest issue with the jeans was they were too long (I'm 5'4")...versus fitting my belly/fat butt in them. I actually have a WAIST in the coat I bought, too.

    Long way to go...but man just the NSV that I needed today <3

    Yeah, didn't actually say that to her with those words - I said it way more tactfully. However, my mom has been nothing but verbally (and sometimes physically) abusive all my life, and her newest tangent is that I shouldn't lift because I'll look like a man and be "more monstrous" than I already am.

    My condolences on the loss of your mom, however.

    Well I'm likely old enough to be your mom, and I say lifting weights is going to make your body feel and look beautiful.

    I'm starting to see abs!! I got rid of my scale because I started gaining muscle so my weight isn't a great way to measure my progress anymore. I still have a ways to go but I'm so happy to finally start seeing definition :)

    Not a great victory, but I passed on the bread and oil with pesto at Bonefish grill - and I LOVE that bread :)

    I was able to wrap a towel completely around myself... with room left :) It used to not even close... this was a big deal to me because I don't actually see a difference in my body yet :/

    Today I had my daughter help me do a major clean out of my dresser, closet and under the bed. I have several huge piles to donate. I also found quite a few things that will fit me now too. I don't know why I had so many clothes, everything from 12-18. I was sad to see a few things go, but very glad overall. Daughter was a big help, she's 19 and brutally honest about how it looks on, so I would of probably kept a lot of things I shouldn't of.

    Yesterday I bought a pair of size 10 jeans. A couple months ago I was in a 14. Such a great feeling

    I can do 1 pull up! I weigh around 185 so I think that's pretty good. Now I'm working toward doing a couple in a row:)

    That's fabulous - strong woman, you - yay!

    I can't wait for this to be an NSV for me! I don't remember the last time I was able to do a pull up :(
