I tried on what I thought was going to be a skirt but was skorts yesterday. There was only a size 16 and size 8 available. I fit in to the 8. I didn't buy them because they ended up being too short for my taste but the last time I can recall what size I wore I was in 6th grade and it had two digits. I think the last time I was able to squeeze in a single-digit size was in elementary school. The smallest thing I could fit in to at this time last year was a 22/24W.42

I had half an ice cream this afternoon. I wanted one, had the calories, but only wanted the smallest one, I was given a huge one. I hate food waste, but it's still food waste if I'm eating it and don't need the calories, so in to the bin when id eaten enough28

Today is 60 consecutive days on MFP and of exercise. It isn't much compared to some, but is impressive for me considering how many days I've blown right past that calorie goal and how often I've previously given up in the same situation.34

I ran (Super slow snail pace) for 50 minutes at lunch. This is the first time in my whole life that I have ever ran for that long or that far. I started off not really wanting to run, but needing to run. As there is this banana pudding cake at home that I would really really like a piece of. So I told myself I could only have it if I ran for 30 minutes. Well why I was doing it I was thinking to myself, that isn't going to be enough to cover those calories, and you are trying to be able to run a 7k (which will take me about an hour to run at the pace I go.) I should at least try to get 40. So I was getting close to 40, and I told myself well last week you ran 45 minutes, and you haven't done it yet this week. Then I was like well I know I can run 45, what about 50? How proud of yourself will you be if you do that? So, somehow I pushed for 50 minutes. I think I could have kept going. I was in a nice rhythm.37

Good for you! Plus, you get cake!7 -
@youdoyou2016 Yes I do, and it isn't even going to go into my exercise calories. Makes me super happy.6

I didn't eat even 1 slice of pizza that the whole family was having. I ate left over chicken and a bright tomato salad. I was thrilled and can't believe that I wasn't even tempted.27

I can reach my arm around to touch my back since my stomach has gotten a lot smaller31

Ran to work in under an hour for the first time ever. Also have a pace under 14 minutes for the first time on this route. I am pretty excited!!
ETA: by the way, it was pouring rain the whole time!30 -
I just came back from my vacation. I didn't measure any food, I just eyeballed everything. While I did sort of watch what I ate, I still ate anything I want but in moderation. Prior to my trip I was eating on average 1300 to 1400 calories daily but while I was on vacation for 4-5 days I estimated about 2000-2500 calories daily. My highest caloric meal was the pasta dinner at Maggiano's Little Italy, it was absolutely worth every calorie! I did continue to count my steps. I maintained on average 12,000- 13,000 steps daily which is lower than my usual 15,000-18,000 daily. Upon returning I stepped on the scale and I was up 2.5lbs, but for the past 2 days I've been back to my routine and dropping 0.5lbs daily. This means my weight gain was just water weight. Moral of the story if you gain 2-3lbs while on vacation, don't freak-out. It really is just water weight and it will drop back as you get back to your fitness routine.
NSV- I spent all this money on new Victoria Secret bra and the band size is getting bigger. I guess it's a good problem to have since I am losing. Still, it's a lot of money I'm not getting rid of these bras until they start to fall off28 -
I've read lots of threads where people say they've had this happen to them,and they didn't like it much but it happened twice to me today and I loved it!! 2 colleagues have asked how much weight I've lost and that I now look thin enough. Oddly I'm still according to bmi tables 3lbs into the obese category so I'm not sure what they're seeing. They're both nice people and weren't been snidey so I've taken it as a compliment but yay some people noticed I've lost some weight29

Yeah, the whole 'you're thin enough' comments just make me smile. Clothes can hide a lot of evil.12 -
I just got back from seeing my family in Vegas and am bursting with NSV's.
1. I exercised for at least an hour everyday, including the days I flew. Even though it was 115 I still did lots of water exercise, walked on the treadmill, which wasn't as boring as I expected, walked around indoors, or did body weight exercises through the whole trip. The morning I flew out I got to the airport early and challenged myself to hit 10000 steps by the time I boarded my flight, and I did it!
2. While I wasn't counting calories, I stayed mindful of what I was eating. There was a lot of peer pressure to eat more from my obese relatives, but I only ate until I was full and didn't accept their multiple offers of additional snacks. I let them take home my leftovers, because I knew I wouldn't be interested in eating them later. I saw a movie with a bottle of water and was perfectly happy with my decision.
3. While most of my family was proud of my weight loss, I still got obnoxious body shaming comments from my mother and completely blew them off. She told me my dress made me look pregnant for instance. I told her I actually look amazing. I just loved that I didn't let her get under my skin or doubt myself.
4. The airplane was sort of comfortable. Last time I flew, about a year ago, I felt squished into the armrests and my neighbor. I had to suck it in to get the seat belt latched. This time there was plenty of room and I had to cinch the belt smaller both times I got on the plane. There was about 8 inches of extra belt!
5. I noticed my clothes starting to look baggy about halfway through the trip. I wasn't sure if it was just the hotel mirror or what, but when I got home I took my measurements and weighed myself. I had lost of the trip!61 -

This is amazing! I have a difficult mother myself and know how hard it is to navigate a relationship you've had since before you were healthy. You should be very proud!12 -
I needed to buy new work shirts that were business casual but good for summer. I am needing them to last all summer so I bought larges figuring they'll fit by mid-July. They fit now! Probably partly vanity sizing but I'll take it!23

I ran for 50 minutes strait. I am so proud of this I have bragged to anyone who will listen.41

I went to Qshack. I ate only about 1/3 of my BBQ plate and didn't feel deprived at all. North Carolina is not the most healthy diet friendly place!20
