Today was my son's birthday. I had ONE piece of chocolate cake. In years past it would have been much more (not to mention I would have bought a bigger cake to start with). After that piece I was satisfied and went back to the plan!2

I went shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding in a month. I found one at Target, one of the more reliable stores for finding my size without breaking the bank. There was one XL left on the rack of a beautiful blue dress. I have historically always been a Target XXL, but figured what the heck, I've been losing so I may as well try it. The XL was too big, and I wound up buying a large! It has a fitted bodice, and isn't stretchy so it's especially shocking to me. I'm a L at Target. Who woulda thunk?
That is awesome ! Congrats!

This thread is my favourite on the whole forum, congratulations everybody! NSVs today: I bought a couple of gorgeous, smart dresses online in a size down because I'm kind of in between sizes right now and the way I'm going, I'm confident that they'll fit like a dream in time for Xmas.
My partner told me he can definitely tell I've lost weight, especially when I *whispers* don't have many clothes on!3 -
My NSV: Running a 10k in 54 minutes.3

That is an amazing feeling! Enjoy and celebrate all your hard work0 -
My first NSV! I just purchased pants one size SMALLER! I have only purchased bigger and bigger sizes for the last 5-6 years as I have continued gaining weight after have 2 babies and I truly thought I would never buy a smaller size again. I was stuffing myself into my skinny jeans at the start of all of this and now I just ordered a size down! I am ecstatic!
Hurray! Amazing victory so happy for you0 -
I'm still going through this thread - there are some great successes here!
My recent ones:
1. I finally got to triple digits on an upper body weight workout tonight - 100 lbs on the lat pull down! I'm hoping this one will help me eventually help me do a pull-up.
2. I was called a "beast" in the gym. One of our daughter's teachers works out at the same gym and he mentioned to her that he had seen us there. He told her that I am a beast and that I probably lift more than him. It's probably not true but interesting to hear!
3. I was called "someone that works out a lot" by one of the gym employees. I have never been known for my physical fitness so this was particularly nice.
4. This one is scale related but not directly a scale victory. I've gone from a BMI of 39.6 (the verge of morbid obesity) to a BMI of 31 (almost, but not quite, completely out of the obesity range).
5. Two more workouts and I'll have made it 16 weeks straight without missing a gym visit. I go twice a day, Monday through Saturday and once on Sunday; truly shocking for me. I even won a gym t-shirt for being one of the most regular attendees! This was actually funny because they asked me what size t-shirt I wear and I had to tell them I didn't really know any more.
6. Last one - I was able to order clothes in a regular (not plus or queen or women's) size! Still an XL but I'm getting there.
Keep it up everyone - this is a really inspiring thread!
Omg you go to gym twice a day?! You are awesome.0 -

Yep. An hour of cardio + cool down every morning but Sunday. At night, a 20 minute cardio warm up, strength training (alternating upper and lower body), and a 20 minute cardio cool down. I've lost 54 lbs so it seems to be working!1 -

I'm finally getting more comfortable eating out at restaurants. Down 130 lbs and terrified of going back so I always get a salad with dressing on the side at restaurants-it just makes me feel better. BUT-went to Chicago this weekend and had some deep dish pizza and went to brunch--thinking about all of the worse choices I could have made took away any guilt I would have felt for indulging a little on a vacation.1

Hooray for guiltless deep dish pizza and brunch!
Of all the NSVs I have experienced, the loss of the feeling of guilt and shame when I eat is the most precious to me. And I think that when I get to maintenance it will be the most important, because I NEVER WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT FEELING AGAIN!

I've gone from a size 22 to a 16 in my work khakis since August 17, 2015. 8 lbs down and 15.5 inches lost lifting heavy and following if it fits your macros.2

You are an inspiration. Wow0 -
I bought size 10 jeans in kmart Australia. I have always associated size 10 with being a nice, healthy size so this is an enormous moment for me.
My size 11 guess jeans are falling off of me. I have to hike them up unattractively and they give me a baggy butt.
I have taken half my meal home with me every time I eat out for the last 2 weeks.3 -

eating out always means having dinner and lunch for tomorrow since I have started my weight loss journey. Great job!0 -
I had a business trip last week. I work in finance, mostly male dominated, and although I always get some attention, I got absolutely swarmed by men at the conference and airport during this trip. I've either become much more friendlier or my 40 pound loss is really starting to show. Before the trip I was really stressed out about all the client dinners and eating out I was going to have to do. I expected to see the scale go up a pound when I got home...but I lost 3. I actually lost weight on a business trip. Like honestly I'm in shock.5

I just ran 4 miles in 40 minutes. A new personal best. I'd taken an enforced break from running, too. I had eye cataract surgery on Wednesday. Sometimes taking a break makes you come back stronger!5

I've now realized I no longer have a double chin when I smile so now I feel like I can smile as much and as big as I want

As I sit in my size 8 pants, I changed my goals on here to losing .5 a week instead of 1. I'm closer to what should be a good goal range for my height and I don't mind if it takes longer for results to show on the scale. Put me at the general calorie range I wanted anyways and have lots of non-scale things to focus on during the winter.
Plus, 185 deadlift no longer feels challenging or really heavy. 3 -
