    I generally wear 40" jeans.... After almost a month of Insanity - I accidentally picked up a pair of 34" jeans... Voila! It was a near fit! I never had one in my entire adult life!! Yay!

    Size 7 jeans, down from a 12 at my highest. I was finally been able to raid my mother's closet. Which may sound odd, but she's incredibly stylish.

    I looked down and suddenly noticed that my wrist bones are showing (a lot) - and my ankles are decidedly slim.

    With Halloween right around the corner, it was time to get stuff for my costume for workplace festivities. I ordered a pair of leggings (I have not worn leggings in 20 years) and they came in last week. I tried them on to make sure they will fit, they did, and I was not mortified with how they looked.

    Fun. I'm a fan of leggings now. We sell some at work but they vary. Some we get have regular size and plus size. When I first started losing weight I got the plus size ones and they fit decent. Now we just have the one size fits most and I have a pair of sunflower ones on today. So, comfy. Wish we had halloween ones.

    Just under a year ago, I started lifting weights at the gym and just using the bar(45-ish) for bench press felt so heavy. Last night, my working set was 100.

    Having to buy new underpants as my old ones hung like a weird skirt/skort thing.

    LOL! This is a perfect description: Mine are like that, too - just barely hanging on to my hip bones (!) by their top elastic!

    I walk an incline hill when I first did this over 2 years ago I could barely do 10 times on the weekend Sat. and Sun.
    I did 45 times ea. day. I haven't lost any weight recently but all of my clothes from last spring still fit great.

    Yesterday was the first time in my working adult life that I wore a dress in summer(or Spring, it's hot enough here to be Summer at the moment) to the office without some form of tights/stockings/tights.

    If I did that this time last year, I would have had chub rub happening before I even made it from my car to the train station

    Yesterday is one of the few days I have gone waaaaaay over my calorie goals since I started MFP in mid-April. I took an unplanned road trip to take a friend to the airport when his ride didn't show up at 5:45 a.m. Since I was there (it's an hour away), I decided to take the scenic route back, and was gone for 12 hours, so I couldn't stick to my usual menu. Two stops at Dunkin Donuts for breakfast and lunch, and then Wendy's for dinner, put me at 1500 calories over my usual (mostly from those dastardly mocha iced coffees to keep me alert on the road).

    And here I am today, not feeling the least bit guilty, accepting I had an off day (but a really nice one), and am already completely back on track. I'm not beating myself up, I don't feel defeated, and I don't even feel a sense of "now I have to really work extra hard" - I'm just sliding right back into this new lifestyle. Apparently, this old dog (59) can learn new tricks. :smile:

    You, my friend, are an inspiration!

    Ordered a size medium back brace that was a snug fit. Had to suck in my gut and it did dug in some, but after moving around it shifted into place and no problem.
    Not even a month later, I'm no longer sucking in my gut and have to give the brace a snug pull to reach around now. I also have more velcro to velcro on to.

    I have two pairs of black shorts. One which always fit comfortably if not a bit loose...and another that had been a bit too snug to wear all summer. This morning, I grabbed a pair of shorts thinking they were the larger pair, slid them on, and it wasn't until midway through the day that I realized they were the smaller shorts.

    I am out of obese cat 2. Yay!! Can't weight to get completely out of obese category! My BMI is <35. Which means I am no longer severely obese. Just obese :grin:

    Now in the 'normal' rather than 'overweight' BMI category!

    Last night I ate my dinner without pre logging and stopped when I was full, which put me pretty much exactly at my calorie goal for the day when I logged it afterwards! My body just knew that's how much I was allowed! So pleased.

    There are suddenly parts of my body I don't hate...in fact, I am beginning to admire them. Legs, arms, shoulders, collarbone, new muscles popping out when I least expect. It's a nice feeling to not loathe this body for the first time in 22 years!

    Had a neighbor tell me he "commended" me for running and that I was looking good. :) it was an older gentleman and it was a compliment not a pick up line lol. Felt good to be noticed by a stranger that I have been working hard

    Yesterday I did a 6 mile hike with 1000 foot elevation gain through a grove of Giant Sequoia trees. It was an amazing day and I wasn't over tired afterwards, although I did sleep really well last night!

    Realizing today I really need to keep track of my NSV's better, there have been way more of them than I've taken the time to ackowledge so I'll list a few.

    Seeing my food journal and being proud of what's in it.

    Going to the store for a peach because darn it I wanted a peach and nothing else would do. This is huge because I had plenty of other snacks including the not so healthy stuff.

    Went shopping with friends and didn't mind showing off how the clothes fit.

    I'm starting to be able to just accept a compliment with a simple thank you!

    Absolutely feel this too! Great job!

    You are all very motivating and I wish I could thank you all individually :-)

    My coworkers were commenting last week that all my pants are getting baggy. :) So I raided my own closet looking for some smaller size pants, not really expecting to find any that fit. On a whim, I tried on the US size 16 pants that I bought when I slimmed a bit a couple years ago. They fit! I wore them to work yesterday and received several compliments that made me want to do a little happy dance.

    My collar bones show enough now that I was able to notice for the first time that they are really rather lopsided. Adds character ;)

    I had a coupon for $1 off a pastry from Wegmans. I chose one that cost exactly $1 (frugal victory), I chose one that looked tasty but also had lower calories than some of the other choices (170 cals vs 250) and the real NSV is that I didn't eat it in the car on the way back! I set it aside and will enjoy it when I REALLY want it-not the second I bought it.

    No mindless eating, even when it is free! :D

    Great job everyone, I love this thread the most!

    I've been running the same office for about nine months now. And in the past couple months I've had several customers to tell me about "the last girl that worked here" or ask me where the last girl went. Which turned out to be me, they just didn't recognize me. :D
