I feel like my weight loss should really be called "The Story of My Hiking Pants." They are size 6. Were snug when I bought them. Then I gained a few pounds and they were painted on in the thighs but still possible to snap up at the top. Gained a few more pounds and had to suck in to do the snap and try to ignore the muffin top. Finally the snap gave up and kept popping open. Gross.
Lost a few pounds. Could do the snap without sucking in. Lost a few more and the pants fit and had about an inch of room in the thigh. Thought I was done and I was happy the pants fit. Put them on today before a hike and found that the thighs are positively baggy, and the pants now rest on my hips instead of just below my belly button. They are too big!37 -
I fit very comfortably in a Loft size 8 pants...it was their Julie cut, as I'm on the curvier side and also Loft is notorious for vanity sizing, but it was nice. I can't wait until I'm a size 8 in stores like H&M. I'm size 10 there except in jeans, then I'm a size 12.
Those size 12 H&M jeans are getting to be too big now. I constantly have to pull them up when I'm walking.
I just bought a size 10 jeans from American Eagle that fit like a glove. I also bought a size 8 to work towards...I can get them on but they're too tight right now.
From an Old Navy size 16 jeans to almost an American Eagle size 8 jeans!

Going back to the bra talk from a couple pages ago. My girls are indeed shrinking, and I didn't realize it. On the one hand, this is what I wanted, on the other hand, now I don't know what size I am! Measuring because of my shape will throw me off, so I'm going to try them on until I find something that fits.
I bought a DDD cup because I barely filled up half my H cup this morning, and I was at Walmart. I figured as long as I didn't spill over a DDD would be fine. (The one bra I have that does fit is a DDD)
The DDD was too big for me! It was very gappy on top and the side. So it goes back to Walmart tomorrow and I hope there's someone in the fitting room (there wasn't today, so annoying) so I can try on sizes until I find the right one.
Yay, cheap bras! And maybe in fun colors too, because there were more DDs than DDDs and I think they had some in not-beige.18 -
I stayed away from the gym last week as I was trying to get into a routine now that I am working again. Yesterday, I went to the gym at 7:30am before my shift started at 9. Thought I would have enough time to get a decent work out and eat my second half of breakfast (eggs was eaten earlier). Turns out the gym opens at 8am on Saturdays! So instead of focusing on one workout with 30-sec rests in between sets, I alternated between two workouts at a time. I shaved off about 10 minutes of my time, and had plenty of time to change and eat before work. And I still feel great from it! When there's a will, there's a way.24

I've got a few:
My size 14 jeans that I was so proud I fit into (I haven't been that size since middle school) are getting too big in the waist. I'm going to Macy's tomorrow to see how the 12s fit.
I realized today that I've basically sized out of the only stores I used to be able to shop in.
My mother bought me an 18" pearl necklace when I was in college and it was too tight. It basically fit like a choker and wasn't very comfortable. I wore it yesterday and it hits right at my collar bones the way it's supposed to.
My youngest sister and my mother have always been way smaller than me and now Mom keeps offering me her clothes to supplement my wardrobe and keeps joking that I'll be passing her in no time. Last night for my sister's bachelorette party my sister loaned me one of her dresses but also her tights. The idea that I fit into normal sized tights is just mind blowing. I literally do not remember ever being able to do this in my life.
And finally I managed to snag the leg press sled at the gym right as this guy was leaving and he was like "here just let me clear it for you" and I said not to worry about it I actually need to add a couple more plates and added another 90lbs. He got super wide eyed and watched me do the first couple and just said wow. I was definitely pleased with myself.50 -
After a very wobbly week last week due to TOM (eat junk, feel bad about it, try and 'exercise it off' and repeat!), I randomly measured my waist this morning and found that I'm 2" down from last time I did do a big uphill hike yesterday so I hope it's not just dehydration...!24

This happened awhile ago for me but makes me smile. My nieces can wrap their entire arms around me when they hug me. No more giant belly in the way.30

got told I was more cuddly the other day. Apparently people can now fully put their arms around me during hugs, which makes it a better hug! who knew!? lol
made me grin!21 -
This one is a blessing AND a curse. Recalibrated MFP for my new current weight and the calories dropped WAY down. Probably explains why I haven't lost in about 5 weeks. Started at 1,800 calories and I'm down to about 1,300.
I MISS FOOD!31 -
Omg. I did go to Macy's to try on jeans and the 12s fit. I would probably want a looser shirt cuz there's a tiny bit of muffin top happening but I can definitely wear them. I also bought a pair of 10s which I could actually button up. They're super uncomfortable still and a LOT of muffin top happening but I literally have no memory of ever being in these sizes. I'm so stoked.
Also I noticed I have a different mindset. I went ahead and bought the 10s because they were on sale and I know I'll need them soon. In the past I would never have bought a size down because I wouldn't be sure I would ever be able to fit in them. Now I'm like of course I'll fit in them, just gimme a month. It's really nice to have that kind of confidence in myself.39 -
I went to buy the next size down in a different colour today. Thinking i'll squeeze into it when my others are in the wash ( ive been told im not allowed wear my jeans anymore as they too big). So get home try the next size downs on and they fit perfectly19

Was at work today and had to get down on my knees on the floor to read some information off tiny labels printed on equipment boxes. Just did it without thinking - no strain and no worries about my pants exposing my butt
Two months ago that would have been difficult and potentially embarrassing.19 -
Had an intense weekend full of just "life". Last night at 6:15 pm or so I identified why I was sooooooooooo cranky.....I had not been able to get to the gym all weekend because of me doing for others....so I picked up my gym bag and keys and off I went. As soon as I got in the gym doors I felt an immense weight lifted....it just feels soo good to be in that space, in my head space, feeling my body work. Sanctuary.29

I'm currently wearing a ring that I haven't been able to get on my finger for about 4 years.26

After 1 month of Chalean Extreme I can now do 3 regular on my toes push ups. Cardio workouts which where previously super hard are now just a nice workout (no wheezing or feeling like I might pass put!) Also this weekend I had to buy new jeans..now a size 32/14 at Gap. I'm so happy that I found Chalean Extreme!! My weight hasn't gone down but I lost 1.75 inchs off my stomach and my arms are now super defined. Hello muscles!22

Did a big 9km hike. And was able to do all the big hills! Was quite proud of myself.20

I fit into a pair of 14s from LL Bean today! Mind you there was a bit of a muffin top and they are fairly stretchy...but give me a few more weeks and they'll be perfect!21

Yay! It's the best feeling. I did the same thing. I bought a size down, knowing I'll be there in a few weeks. Something I would never think to do before!14 -
I know that my size Large scrubs feel too big, but to try on the size Medium and have them actually fit feels amazing. I have never, ever been able to wear size medium. I started my weight loss journey at a size 2XL. Hell yeah.42

I have two!! May be small to some but big for me because I haven’t been motivated for quite some time.
Today was the first day in a very long time that I completed my diary under my calorie limit. I’ve been off the wagon for awhile now and this is a major step for me right now.
Also, I joined a gym today! I’ve belonged to a gym before but it’s been close to two years since I’ve been to one.35
