I used her method for how to fold the band, but did not do any hand sewing. Instead, I just used a zig zag stitch on my machine and voila! A better fitting bra in 10 minutes!
But that's assuming the cups are still okay, right?
Yes! Changing the cups on a bra is basically impossible. Well, depending on the bra. If it's a bralette then it's quite easy but if it's a bra with an underwire then you'd have to pu in a smaller underwire and it isn't worth the effort. That's a lot of work and can only work if it's a ... what's it called again? Bra without padding? Fabric only, no shape is what I mean.6 -
I was so tired this afternoon. Usually I get my workout out of the way before noon (even if it means I have to do it before 6 am), but I couldn't today. By the time I finished work and everything else, I was yawning and lazy and just wanted to veg out. I convinced myself to go to the gym and do a low-key workout for 30 minutes. Sure enough the endorphins kicked in quickly, and I ended up doing a vigorous workout for 60 minutes. Afterwards I didn't even feel like vegging out anymore!27

Yeeees! High 5! Joining you today in this exact same mindset. Went a bit...grumble grumble short workout that turned into a full one! Wide awake & ready to do some housework...I've already been to work & back. Amazing what a bit of vigorous movement can do!15 -
Several months ago I bought blouse without trying it on. It was the size I usually get and very cute but I didn't have time to try it on. It was too tight.
Today, I decided to wear it over a tank top and just not button it. To my great surprise - I have lost zero pounds since buying it - I fit perfectly. Even over the tank top I buttoned it up and it's perfect.28 -
I just had an assessment with my fitness trainer. After taking my measurements, I learned that I have lost 16 inches from around my waist!57

I binged out on pizza during the hurricane... for three days. I've been working on getting my weight back down since then and today hit my new all time low. It took me 5 days to get back on track. Before - I would have used this excuse to continue binging, given up, and jumped off the bandwagon.
I'm not doing that anymore. Even though I didn't really get a chance to work out like I wanted to (my gym was closed) I still made progress just through CICO. And all this shows me is that even if I binge out for a couple of days, it's not the end of the world. I can still come back from it and make progress!39 -
The scale hasn't moved AT ALL. But! I am sooooo close to needing to adjust my weight belt to one notch tighter. I am extremely pleased.
I had to buy new jeans. With bigger thighs. I am also extremely pleased about that.24 -

This! Right there! I've not had the scale move either but I feel my body is shrinking, what is that? Is it just the weight redistributing? Congrats on being able to wear the blouse, that must be SUCH a great feeling!!15 -

Holy kitten!! Great job!!8 -
2 NSVs for me today:
Noticed that my forearms are smaller on my drive home last night. Such a weird thing to notice.
Have been out of running due to a knee injury. Coupled with TOM, that's a recipe for binging on chocolate and Netflix. Made it to the gym by telling myself I'd go get Halo Top after spinning. Didn't even end up wanting chocolate and ice cream after!
I used to use this trick for quitting smoking - if I wanted a pack, I could go get one after my run. That's no longer a conversation I have to have with myself!33 -
My first NSV since starting my journey in July is feeling my hips and ribs through my belly again while laying down on my back. My belly is still big, but it's getting the super soft pizza-dough type feeling again. I know most people hate it when their bellies get extra mushy, but for me it shows progress that I can FEEL! I personally love it!
I know, I'm weird. Haha
Congrats on everyones NSVs!!! You're all doing fantastic!27 -
Went to a comic convention dressed as what I'm in my profile picture.
I was actually getting comments on how I looked fit or buff or whatever.
I still feel so small and scrawny/fat, but it felt pretty nice getting compliments like that.20 -
wore a body clinging dress to work today. i've been eyeballing it for over a month but today i felt confident it wearing it27

I hurt my knee on the 6th and have been out of running while the swelling went down this week. Doctorcleared me to run starting today and I went for a 1.5 mile gentle run. A few things are victory here
1. 1.5 miles was a gentle easy run not horrible and hard
2. I went back to running instead of using this as an excuse to binge on cookies and chips and hang on the couch
3. I listened to the doctor for the week off.
I am imposing rest on myself for some shoulder pain and so I feel your struggle, it can be hard to rest. But making things worse is never a good thing.10 -
found a pair of brown suede 2 inch heels I used to wear YEARS ago...back when my feet were a size 7. I put them on and they fit again....so damn cute with the dress I have on today. I heart today.31

My NSV is being able to walk a total of 8 to 10 miles through out the day.. 8:30-9:30am- 3 miles, 11am-1130am- 2 miles then 9:30-11:00pm 3 to 4.5 Miles Without it effecting my every day stuff. Like focusing during work or having the energy for my shift.
Orginally if I walked to work(2 mile) and completed 3 miles, I couldn't get focused or feel so great for my shift.20 -
Was on a walk this morning when spouse texted to let me know the cable guy would be there in 15 minutes (I'd scheduled this but spaced it). So I ran (ok, jogged) home. It's been years since I've run and I forgot how good it felt -- even in my broken down old shoes and without a proper sports bra.
I made it home with a few minutes to spare, too.32 -
With the weather getting cooler, I ventured into my closet to see if my old size 16 pants fit. I haven't worn them since 2015. Without the aid of shapewear, I was able to button and zip them but they were still too tight in the legs and gave me a pretty major muffin top. I was happy but also bummed they were not suitable to wear in public. Went to put them back in the closet when I noticed they were actually size 14!!!!!!!!!! I grabbed the 16s and they fit perfectly! And I figure I'm about 5 lbs away from the 14s being wearable which means I'm about to double the size of my fall wardrobe. That's progress baby!45
-
Well it seems that 40 lbs is the magic number. Have really not had anyone comment on my weight loss until today - and 4 different people told me 'I'd lost a lot of weight!' LOL!
It also was a closet-purge day. Switching from summer to fall wardrobe was a good opportunity to go through everything. Turns out I did not have any pants left that fit - NONE. So, dropped the purged clothes off at the back door of the thrift shop and went shopping through the front door. Left with a bag of pants for under $50! All new-with-tags! Score!32 -
i had a consult with a plastic surgeon regarding my loose skin on Friday. I weigh about 40% of my maximum size. It did not go well at all and was beyond demoralizing. I did not eat my feelings afterwards. I'm also very proud of the fact that I told him to bug off about my arms because I am actually proud of how toned they are and don't focus on the skin there.35
