Have two of them. I am now able to do the exercise bike for 30 mins use to not be able to do 5.

The second is I had to buy a new bathing suit for vacation. My old one is a 4x my new one is a 2x. Plus I was able to buy it at old navy instead of the big and tall store.

I tried on this dress for a bachelorette party and felt sexy. I haven't felt sexy in a while. That was the moment I truly stopped caring about the number. That and when I tried on swimsuits a few days ago and for the first time in too long I didn't leave crying. I felt beautiful. yay

This is the kind of thing that always makes me feel like I must have something in my eye...

It's so great to hear how much people's view of themselves changes, and how much better they feel! I'm not there yet and still feel very fat, but I'm slowly learning to appreciate bits of my body more than I have in the past and I've noticed that I walk 'taller' and with a bit more confidence. I think that one day I will be able to say that I feel good about myself again.

My sort-of-scale-related triumph today is that I'm overweight!

My BMI is a smidge below 30 now, so I've dropped out of "obese".

I'm eleven years older than my younger sister.. Since I lost the weight Several people assumed that she was the older sister or that we were similiar in age. Lol ... People used to think I was her mother.. She does Not like these recent comments. Lol

Took my hip measurement last night. Workout at he gym is paying off. Lost 3 cm since I started there 3.5 months ago. It is not 99.5 cm. That is number I have not seen since I was 22, 25 years ago! That was the one time that it was monitored as I had had lipsuction then and to be honest my hips look better now with the workouts as comapred to post-op

I have gotten used to drinking coffee with just a splash of milk. I was a hazelnut creamer addict! Took a long time to just cut the amount of hazelnut creamer that I was using down to something that I could work into my daily calorie goal (only one cup of coffee per day, 2T of creamer in it). I used to ALWAYS have creamer on my shopping list and now I don't even remember the last time I bought it! Anyway, I started drinking coffee with just a splash of milk a couple of weeks ago for fasting reasons. Bonus - negligible calories that I don't even track. Coffee with milk has become my new norm. It's not delicious, but I'll deal with it.

So I put 2T of hazelnut creamer in my coffee this morning, because I decided that maybe once a week I can enjoy my coffee like I used to. But all I can taste is very fake hazelnut flavoring and it's not that good. Tossed the rest of the coffee down the drain. I think I'm over it!!!

I went shopping yesterday and found out that I've dropped my first pant size, on this weight loss journey! I have many more to go but this first one was amazing! So exciting!!

BrittneyLervig · July 2016

I'm a nurse at the hospital and 3 different doctors in the same week asked how much I've lost and what I've been doing ☺️

fireytiger · July 2016

Today I need to think about my NSVs because the scale didn't budge this week after losing 2lbs a week consistently for a month (boo, hiss, stupid scale!).

-My measurements have dropped in the last month. 0.5 in. off the neck and hips, 1 in. off my waist and off each thigh.
-I can count on one hand the number of times I've used an elevator since February, and I work on the 2nd floor of my building. The break room is on the 5th floor, and for a long time if I ever decided to go up there (maybe once a week) I would feel like passing out even if I went really slowly up the stairs. Today, I went up the stairs at a pretty good pace (not running but fast walking), and while I felt the burn in my legs by the time I was at the top, I wasn't gasping for air or seeing those little black spots like usual.
-My skin is clear and dewy, and has a glow to it that I didn't have before.

I walked to Farmers Market I had been driving and then just walking around but added the 20 minutes walking there and back, meaning I walked from 10 to 1pm.

ColetteM6 · July 2016

So I'm helping a kiddo with her work. I'm crouched a bit with my hands on my knees. And I think, "oh dear god, why does my knee fat feel thick?? Why do my thighs feel different?? Is there something wrong with my legs??....wait....that's my muscles"!

Erephyre · July 2016

I pulled out an old skirt/kilt that I wore in high school (was really tight on me then) I had put slits in the waist band to wear it back then. Well, I decided to sew up those slits and after putting it on, it's loose on me. Also had to create another new notch in my belt. None of my shirts fit. It's weird to put on my XL shirts and feel super uncomfortable because it just flaps around.

Purplebunnysarah · July 2016

Wearing size 16 shorts today. Last September my size 20 shorts were snug. I actually bought these as goal shorts last year but gained right after I bought them instead of losing...

Panda_brat · July 2016

Got in my cardio, plus a 8 hour shift, mostly on my feet, for over 25,000 steps, and my feet did not hurt.

robot_potato · July 2016

Tried on my best work slacks in preperation for my return from mat leave in a few days, and they are perfect. Haven't fit into them since early 2014

Madwife2009 · July 2016

My trousers have gotten rather loose so today I tried on the next size down. They are too big

I don't EVER remember fitting into a UK size 12 - even at school I was a UK 16.

Sat cross-legged in a comfy chair at my cousin's house this weekend. Wow. Haven't been able to do that in years.

47Jacqueline · July 2016

When I finished teaching my Aqua fit class today, one of the gym staff asked me what I did to be able to balance on one leg for so long. I have arthritis in one knee so it was a real compliment to me.

VividVegan · July 2016

I get to finally mock the people from my old high school who bullied me for being overweight when they were fit. Now I'm fit and they've gained weight since then. I'm totally looking forward to high school reunion

Oh, and my ex (who left me when I was overweight) now wants me back. I mock him from time to time. He knows he f'd up but I've got someone better

The best revenge is always silence young MFP Jedi. To speak to them at all lets them know they got to you back then.

Don't ever give nay Sayers and bullies the satisfaction. Ever.

Simply walk your kickass-self around and wink at their husbands because they know they married a loser.

STEVE142142 · July 2016

Two more for me I was able to get up off the floor without a chair or any other help.

You're being a very bad girl. Enjoy being bad. Success is Revenge

I can't sit anywhere for very long anymore. My once very comfortable giant butt now feels bony.
