    This NSV was completely unexpected - One of the young guys that lifts the same time as me at the rec center came over to tell me he thought it was cool that I lifted. He I even got a fist bump!!!!

    One of my goals has been to get back into jeans - I haven't worn them in at least 25 years. My daughter and I went to Old Navy today and I decided to give it a try now that I've lost 67 lbs. I pulled a 16 and an 18 off the shelf and headed to the changing room, hoping that one of them would fit. I pulled on the 18 and it was WAY TOO BIG! I tried the 16 and it was close enough that I walked out of the dressing room to get daughter's approval. The employee running the changing room said, no, those are too big. You need to go back and get a 14. A 14, on me. I couldn't believe it when they fit. I am so excited. I think the Old Navy employee got a kick out of it. My 16 year old daughter wasn't sure what to think - she's never seen me in jeans. I've got a ways to go so only 1 pair for now but it's a big step forward for me.

    I love this story! Congratulations!

    I put on a shirt I haven't worn in almost two years /last time I tried I couldn't button up even one of the buttons and even my arms couldn't quite get in the sleeves /. Almost all buttons managed to button up and it looked and felt nice on me. This is what I call a good day.

    My rings don't fit anymore!
    I had lost a bunch of weight before I found MFP over the years and my ring size went from an 8.5 to a 6.5, and I assumed that's as low as it would get because cmon, they're fingers, how much fat can they have on them? Well, just a little bit more, apparently, as I am now measuring at a 5. I really hate to lose my rings though. My engagement ring can be resized, but my wedding band was given to me and it belonged to my mother in law's grandmother, so I don't really want to mess with it.

    I bought a cheap ring that I wear on the outside of my too big rings, that way I won't lose them, but they do spin around.

    I bought a decorated belt last year to wear on my waist. Since then I've always been trying to wear it on my hips and it never fit. This morning I HAD to find a nice belt to wear to work with my pants (they are getting too loose now) so I tried it on for giggles...and it fits perfectly!!

    My jeans size at my highest weight was 40 inches.Now it's down to 38in. I have a goal jeans which are 36 in, and I can now pull it up to my hips!!! When I first bought them they barely made it past my knees!
    Also ,my wedding ring which was too tight to go up my ring finger, is so loose now! I am wearing it on my middle finger!

    1111 day streak in two days

    My 28th birthday and I'm sick. You guys make me want to go do something. Not sure it will happen. Need rest and medicine. Will see what happens!

    Ugly sweater party a few days ago with family. Didn't think I looked bad in the pictures (besides my hair, so dark.. Haven't got done since last year) also think my sweater was in a LARGE! Also won :)

    You can have the ring resized but wait until you are in maintenance for awhile- Most places will only resize the ring one time. Fix it more than once and it starts getting weak.

    Thanks for the tip! My next thickest finger is my right middle one. Once it gets loose there, I will take it off and wait till I hit my goal!

    I bought a cheap, thin silver ring in a smaller size. I put on my wedding ring, then the cheap ring on the outside which keeps my wedding ring from falling off.

    I bought size 14 pants today - that's at least 4 sizes down, although it's probably more because I stopped buying pants at my heaviest and lived through the winter in size 2 and 3X sweat pants.

    it's nearly Christmas, loads to things going on involving food & drink. As always I'm enjoying all of them but the difference this year is that on the 'normal' days I'm back on track! No excuses. Last year I would have just said "ah well, it's Christmas (for all of December) I'll start again in January! " and of course wouldn't!

    I can move around the classroom without constantly asking students to scoot their chairs in.

    I've been frustrated by my lack of success both on the scale and in the gym lately. I probably just need to focus more. But yesterday I noticed that my watch kept slipping around so I had to tighten it up a notch. Something is working!

    I bought a "front"ring too, though I made it matching in rose gold. Saw it at the same time as my nice little reward for loosing as much as I have. Once my weeding ring is resized I still have a nice ring to wear on another finger :-)

    Tried on several once too small/tight dresses and crop tops which finally fit. Also, finding my 'wedding dress' (courthouse, military wedding) which I was busting out of a few years ago on my wedding day and fast forward 3 years I'm down a few dress sizes and a husband and couldn't feel any happier!
