    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.

    AWESOME NSV !!!

    Thank you!! I can't believe how excited I was. And, today, finally, I am actually wearing those jeans and here's proof, compared to what I looked like in November 2014 (most recent "before" picture I can find)! And that's a size large on the polo, not XL, not XXL, just plain old large!

    I made myself an figure hugging tight skirt about three months ago. As it was left over fabric I used every little bit of it. The lining however is usally made 1-2mm wider as it does not stretch and I forgot to do that. It fit and and looked nice but when sitting down it was a little snug due to the non stretch in the lining.
    Today I tried it on again; it will be a nice, pretty and above all comfortable wear next week at the family christmas dinner on boxing day :smiley:

    For christmas day I made a tunic/dress. When I made it I was 100% certain I'd shorten it to wear as a tunic on a black skirt. Tried it on when ready. It is shorter than I usually wear (just above the knee) and VERY form hugging. Let's just say I had not dared wearing anything like it for at least a decade (or two) I am wearing it christmas day.

    Went to Hubby's work do last night. Saw a lady who has lost 5 stone this year with SW. She has tried to diet for years but this time she got it and she looks amazing. She said seeing me change since we first met inspired her to stick with it (I lost 5 stone too). We had a big girly moment!

    Today I noticed I don't have any more chubrub! Also, I can touch my face to my shoes again while stretching in the butterfly position. Before when I used to dance as a teen/child it was easy but once my gut took over it was impossible. Not anymore :D

    My DH gave me a hug after I'd been away visiting friends for the weekend and commented on my new found slenderness when he wrapped his arms around me.

    I'm maintaining my weight in spite of not working out since I was injured in a car crash the end of September.

    Just made Nanaimo bars, and whilst, yes, I DID scrape out the bowl and pan, I DIDN'T break off and eat extra chocolate whilst making the topping.

    Went back to Fredericksburg, TX for our 1 year anniversary last week. I hiked 2 miles of Enchanted Rock. It was hard. Like "Omg I don't think I'm ready for this" hard. I am still over 300 lbs, but I've lost over 50lbs and I wanted to do it. I survived.

    I did from the [P] to the #8 and back... It was beautiful. Next year will be better.

    I accidentally added 10 lbs to EACH side of the bar (I only wanted to add 10 lbs total) and ended up squatting my body weight.

    Huzzah! That is awesome! I don't fly much, but I recall thinking that the seats on the subway were far roomier than they used to be!
    Oh, yeah, that reminds me how much more space I have in bed! I haven't even lost so much but man, it's comfy :)
