Went shopping today for a dress to wear to our staff Christmas party in a couple of weeks. Decided to check out one of the thrift shops to see what I could find. And did I find! Got a jean dress that is lightweight, a bit of stretch and a good length (at knees). It was a size medium and I hoped that it would fit but could always bring it back. Took it home and, oh my, it fit perfectly!!! Just tight enough to show the curves but not too tight! If I do say so myself, looking pretty good
And, given that I will be 60 in a few weeks, feeling pretty good right now! Now I just have to find the right scarf/cape to go with it. Must be plaid. 35 -
@NewLIFEstyle4ME - thanks
I am a lot calmer today
Swam 2500m - longest swim in a while and have a day of cake and samosas and chip shop food to look forward to - all pre-logged and will still be under by end of day
Definitely logging this week as major NSV as I think it is the first time I have properly resisted an emotional binge and pushed through it without needing to go back and address it with food! lol21 -
Attended a concert last night. To get to my seat in the middle of a LONG row of seats, I had to scooch past a couple dozen people. It was physically easy and I wasn't too self-conscious.
It really drove home what a difference losing 22% of my starting weight has made in my quality of life. :-)19 -
Last night I flexed in the mirror (I know, I know), and I saw guns. Me! Guns!

Another coworker compliment. I went out with my coworkers after work for some happy hour cocktails. It was casual Fridays and I wore skinny jeans. As we are drinking and talking in our group one of my coworkers said, "wow your waist is so tiny. I didn't notice since you usually don't wear form fitting clothes." I've been big my entire life. I think this is the first time in my life someone has referred to me as tiny. I'm sure being a pear shape with very broad
shoulders makes my waist look really small. I told her I don't really feel like i'm small yet. It's taking me a while to adjust and I still have 8 more pounds to lose to reach my first goal weight.21 -
I ran my first ever 10kthis morning. 1 hr 12 minutes I did not walk a single step I am so proud of myself.36

Walked around Walgreens this morning while waiting on a prescription to be filled. I was having a little sweet tooth, so I wandered over to the candy aisle. A couple months ago, I would grab a coke and a bag of peanut butter m&ms to take home with me. Today, I read labels on a bunch of stuff but couldn't decide on anything I felt was worth the calories. So when they called my name to get my prescription, I grabbed a cherry sprite zero and left.27

Not related to food/weight but to the new dedication I found when I joined MFP. I went to Paris with my family this August. I had some rudimentary French but decided to improve my skills and installed Duolingo app on my phone in April. Well, I certainly improved my French by the time we went to Europe but today I completed the entire course even though I no longer have the practical need of the language!! Next steps - watching some movies in French on Netflix or Youtube. That's what my husband does to improve his Japanese.
It's nice that the dedication/persistence extends not only to tracking food/exercise but also to other areas of my life...29 -

Wow. Canons!7 -
I have a first date tonight with a young lady and wanted to buy a new shirt. I found a nice Chaps button down, grabbed an XL and headed to the fitting room.
It was too big. No effing way. When I started this I was 240 pounds and saw the change from XXL to XL, but this? Really? I went back, grabbed a large and it fits perfectly. Looks good too. Holy crap.

Realizing I'm a medium and can fit in the majority of the stores at the mall. I've been a large as long as I can remember, maybe back in Middle school I was a medium.28

I bought these boots for my birthday many moons ago. They've been in a box tucked away in a closet because my calves got way too fat to fit in them.
But I'm back!
