She obviously knows a good look when she sees one!9 -
Love this thread! I recently had a really cool one.
My husband mistook my new jeans for my 13 year old daughter's. We're actually several sizes apart, but he's never made that mistake before.23 -
I coworker just said "you've got a lot of sass for such a tiny body"
My body is by no means tiny, and she's just being sassy but YAY!!!31 -
Well the scale is up but my NSV for the last couple of weekends, was running a 14k trail race which had killer hills on them and a 10k road race. Pleased with how well I did considering I did not train this summer at all and was up 12 lbs.
This will help motivate me to now work on the scale side of things.19 -
Shopping today and found the cutest shorts on clearance. They were a size 2! A little snug but I figured they will be perfect when I lose these last 10 pounds. My DH said they fit perfect and showed off my slim figure!
NSV #2 today is what I call "side bonus" of my new way of eating. DH is now who wearing a 34 waist pants! Down from a 38. I have never seen him in this size. He's been eating smaller portions and less fat plus we have both been more active with the weight loss.26 -
I just remembered that I used to walk to the Zombies, Run! app a few years ago when I was trying tj get ivy the habit of going to the gym. The gym habit didn't take and I forgot about the app (I started walking with my husband and it's rude to listen to your phone when the other party isn't I I).
I just remembered it today, and downloaded it. I'm done with my workout today, but I'm super excited about going on my stationary bike tomorrow. (THEY don't know I bike instead of run.
My bad knee is unpredictable, sometimes it hurts after less than an mile. Sometimes I can walk three miles with no pain. I had a tendon moved four years ago, and the problem in my knee is mechanical. I have to live with it. I am doing strengthing exercises to build muscle (as much as you can on deficit) in my legs, in case that helps, but that can only do so much. But I can use a stationary bike just fine.
They also do virtual 5Ks and I'm going to sign up for one this next year. I can probably split up the 5K into two days if my knee doesn't cooperate, unlike a traditional 5K. And since you're competing with yourself it doesn't matter how slow you go!
I really think I'm starting to like exercise. I've been riding daily for 8 days now, and I find myself looking forward to sweating. I need to add strength training in, but I need to be careful not to make my distasis recti worse.17 -
Add me to the list of people who have shifted from obese to overweight on the BMI chart!47

Got rid of what felt like an entire wardrobe of bigger clothes. Just to make sure I won't regain. Bc if I have the clothes it doesn't matter. But now I need to lose/maintain to not be naked unless I want to spend money, which I dont23

At my heaviest, one load of jeans that fit in the washer was 4 pair. Now I have to wash them with someone else's benefits I don't own enough jeans to even make a full load.. But I think it would take somewhere around 10 pair.23

Just ordered my first pair of pants in a misses size - and they fit!! I've been buying plus size pants for about 20 years.26

I have a few NSVs.
1.Today I had to get my car repaired and instead of taking the offered ride home, I walked the 1+mile. Then did it again later in the day to pick it up.
2.My co-workers thought they were being nice and left me a full bag of Lindor Assorted Chocolates. I have absolutely no interest in them. Last year at this time, I would've eaten about 10 of them in one sitting.
3. All of my size L scrub tops are too big and forget the pants, they have to go.
4. Was called in to do an OR case and my (X-ray) lead apron is so big on me now that I can no longer wear it and can use the designated OR aprons.
5. Finally, ALL of my long sleeved tops are too big. I had to toss/donate all of them. Now I have 1 brand new shirt. Time to get some more.30 -
When I realized I needed to shorten the strap on my cross-body purse!20

OMG! I just had a HUGE NSV for me. A friend gave a big bag full of clothes, and most of them fit! Most of the tops were 22/24, I was a 26/28 when I started a year ago. Not all the 22/24 tops fit, but those that didn't are only a little snug.
And and and! The two pair of size 22 jeans (no elastic) fit! I was a 28/30 when I started. I bought a couple pair of capris on clearance without trying them on a couple months ago that were 26s (with elastic).
These are older 22s, so it's possible they have stretched, but I don't even care. They are a tiny bit snug, in that fresh-from-the-dryer-will-stretch-out way. Still comfortable, don't think I'll pop a button if I sit in them.
I'm going to Walmart tomorrow to try on jeans.36 -
I got one late last night...
I've been more active about my strength training on Instagram recently, and last night I got offered my first discount. I may yet be an influencer!

You would have stopped at just 10 Lindors? I'd have stopped when the box was empty (hangs head in shame ). I can't eat any these days, way too rich.There is nothing like knowing you can shop in any store, anywhere, and find something that will not only fit, but look good.
I wish this was true! There are several shops that I can't shop in as I'm too small (and I'm quite a way from my goal weight still). And the shops that I used when I was huge (and struggled to find clothes in my former sizes) don't stock clothes small enough for me either. Finding clothes is still a battle, one that I never thought'd I have with weight loss.
I was excited that a new shop opened in my town as it had some really nice looking clothes in, until I saw the signs outside that read "Sizes 16 - 32". Yeah. I'd drown in those sizes.

Got on the treadmill for half an hour, after resisting getting out of bed and realizing that I was finding excuses not to exercise.( better burn 300 cal then gain it) lol12

I rushed home yesterday to mow the lawn ahead of today's thunderstorms...with a push mower. Because the grass was so high and we had several days of rain I had to go particularly slow. I got at least 1/3 of an acre done before it got too dark. 21,000+ steps yesterday!23

Shopping with hubby, we saw Halloween candy for sale. Then we remarked how it's October and we have snack size chocolate bars in the house from last year. That is a first!

@jesslla - It get's better, Sugar... keep it up! There is nothing like knowing you can shop in any store, anywhere, and find something that will not only fit, but look good.
Gratz on the 22's!!
Thank you! I'm still pumped about that this morning, hee! I can't wait until I size down into misses clothing. I dream of going into The Gap or even Nordstroms and buying clothing (I know the Gap sells plus sizes, but I was too big for them until recently). I can't afford much at Nordstroms, but when I hit goal I'm going to buy an outfit there because I can.
I even dream of fitting into the fitness gear at Walmart. I would love to have a fitness wardrobe, even if I only workout at home!17
