Have the same problem and it will continue for a while... my husband has been using mine for rags...1

My DH said I now look like a hobo in my winter coat. Maybe I should shop for a new one....0

I now have a drawer of ridiculously large t-shirts from events I've done in the past. I don't want to get rid of them because I had fun at those, but when I put them on, I look like a hobo that robbed a thrift store and ended up with a night shirt.
(this message is not making fun of hobos, or thrift stores, both of which I favor)
I have a bunch of old band t-shirts in large and extra-large, I'm now wearing a small. I don't want to get rid of them so have just started basically cutting them up and re-sewing them, using a shirt that fits as a template. Works great so long as the front and back print are small enough on the originals that they don't get cut through.

That it is actually possible to go to the beach with friends and sit building sandcastles with their kid while you are wearing only your swimsuit and no extra beach cover-up, without being hung up about the fact that you are still quite squishy.7

Putting on clothes I love but haven't fitted into for years .

I find those great to use when I do house cleaning with bleach. I do not care if i get some bleach on it and streak it. They also protect the rest of my clothing.2 -
Your unhealthy partner constantly asking you to cook because it tastes so good in compare to take out or frozen dinners.
Seee...it has a way of seeking up on the most unlikely people! My husband had cod and veggies for dinner last night and loved it! He's a burgers and cheese fries kinda guy, but it turns out he is asking to have what I'm having more and more often!5 -

Yes, that is exactly what it means. That is absolutely the best thing in losing weight. Now I can go thrugh summer like a normal person and not hot and sweaty tomato.5 -
That sometimes it just doesn't make sense! My partner (also logging here) occasionally likes to wolf down a packet of huge triple chocolate cookies as a treat. At 1200 calories a pack on top of his lunch and dinner it puts him over his maintenance, but WITHOUT FAIL he has always lost weight the next morning! It's got to the point where 'magic cookies' has become a running joke with us. Seriously, he dropped 0.8 lbs this morning (he weighs daily). It's not like he goes over his calories too often so maybe the occasional cookie binge is triggering a whoosh or something - it's so funny (and I am pretty jealous).
Also, nobody told me that doing C25K would turn me into someone who craves a run on rest days. WHO AM I?!9 -

How much it would help to ease my anxiety. I had no idea it was going to make me feel so much better emotionally. My breakdowns are fewer and less severe than they were a year and a half ago when I first began.15
