I thought with my scale broken, the only other way for me to gauge any type of loss is by how my clothes fit. Well today, I decided to get the tape measure out. I've lost 10 inches off of my hips and 7 inches off of my waist. Total overall, I've lost 41.25 inches. Ok, I'll take that.60

A while back, I bought a blazer with a plan to shrink into it. It's fit for a while, but didn't really look good. So naturally I assumed I needed to lose a little more and it would fit correctly. Last night I finally realized what the problem is: I don't have enough bust to fill out the top. I don't have enough bust!

I had to tighten my Fitbit one notch. Woohoo!24

I started this journey just this past January. I am loosing slowly but surely and finally broke down and had to buy a new pair of jeans, 2 sizes smaller than what fit me in January. I forgot I purchased them honestly. So I found them in my closet yesterday and was going to wear them....but they are too big. Much too big. I was a little mad about wasting the $, but the joy of having them be too big...omg...Yessssss!!!!!!!34

Inward, I cry VICTORY!
Next up, I shall conquer the front line of pants I let myself outgrow (again).
I WILL GET YOU PANTS.
You win the internet, lol - congratulations!
Today's NSV - since starting a regular exercise routine, my monthly cycle does not seem to have quite the impact on my water weight gain that it used to. I used to gain up to 5lbs in water weight, but the last couple of times around, it's come down to a pound or so. Yay for stability!

I have a job interview next week. I haven't worn 'office work attire' in 5.5 yrs (since I had my twins). Some of my old work clothing fits me again, and I went to a thrift store to buy a nice blouse to wear with my plain black business pants.
I found 2 blouses for 3 dollars each, and a nice black blazer for 5 dollars. Also a pair of chunky heeled dressy sandals just because they fit nicely and I felt sassy in them lol29 -
I ran into a lovely old neighbor and colleague today. I haven't seen her in about twelve months. "Where on earth did you go?" she asked me. "We moved to the country, remember!" I replied. Turns out she meant where did my fat go, which I thought was hilarious33

Bought the smallest pants I’ve owned in the last 10-12 years yesterday.36

I said no to dessert tonight and ate broccoli instead! It's a small victory, but damn did it feel good.30

Ran into someone at work that hasn't seen me in 4-5 months. Told me I look great. (Because you know, thinner, smaller)23

Every year in March several old friends from my high school class get together, since several out of towners need to travel home at about that time. Until last year I didn't go - I felt that I looked terrible and didn't want people who remembered me from when I was thin to see me. So last year, I was down fifty pounds, and despite feeling very nervous, I went and had a great time. I was still fat but not the fattest person there and at least I was thin enough that I felt recognizable.
This year I really looked forward to going. That's my NSV, last year I was terrified, this year, I felt like I looked great and wanted everyone to see how much weight I had lost since last time. Met with one person who came in early tonight and he was just struck dumb with admiration, just shook his head in amazement. Seeing the rest of the gang on Saturday and can't wait!41 -
A friend suggested I try pushups on my knuckles (I've got wrist issues from a fracture in one about 10 years ago) so I managed to do 17 or 18 today. 10 days ago, I could only do 8 (on my palms) before I almost fell on my face. It's not an impressive number, but I'm pleased. And I did some Zumba for the first time since my surgery last year, whoo! I missed Zumba more than anything else, post-op, but I haven't been able to do anything intense until now, without pain flaring up.33

Yeah. That's the problem with C25K. Next it'll be parkruns, then 10K races, thinking about a half marathon. It really is a terrible disease.
(Congrats)
seconding this half marathon in april, marathon relay in may... remember the days of hating running? C25K may be a free app but it cost me a lot of money for race registrations lol19 -

And shoes and shirts and shorts and headphones and flipbelts and water bottles and and and.
Seriously on my 4th set of headphones before finding ones I really like (and they were not cheap).19 -
Nothing to do with any victory regarding size or physical ability, but I didn’t buy any dates last night even though I really wanted to.15

I've only been faithfully doing this for 17 days now. My NSV so far is just learning not to snack, not eating as much junk food and not drinking as much soda. In the last 17 days I've had 3 sodas. 3!!! That's HUGE for me. I used to drink 1L of Diet Pepsi EVERY SINGLE DAY and sometimes more than that!
I have also gone for a walk almost every single day for 17 days. Yesterday I didn't because I was in pretty bad pain BUT I think I earned a day off. LOL.
When I started this 'healthier' living 17 days ago... I could barely walk one block without feeling dizzy, gasping for air and just in general feeling sick. I am now walking 20 minute stretches without too much difficulty (except my legs itching! Which I've been told is because I've been out of shape so long. Looking forward to when that stops! LOL.
I've been drinking 4L or more of water a day and I feel SO MUCH BETTER. The days when I only drink 1L of water I definitely feel the difference in my brain, in my outlook.
Oh! And best NSV victory is that I got the job I wanted, left a job I wasn't terribly happy in and am changing my life in every way possible to be the life I want instead of the life I felt stuck in.62 -
I have been committed to my health for one full year. Now off all meds for T2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Churning out 10,000 steps a day regularly, from the days when a thousand steps was my baseline. Have completed two 5Ks (walking).
Purchased second “interim wardrobe” from consignment shops and donated work clothes for women re-entering the workforce (plus size donations are not common).
Lost 130 lbs. this year under Dr. supervision; 45 to go, then reassess. I’ve never been that weight as an adult.
Every day I read MFP posts. You are like family. Even though my eating is under supervision, my thoughts are not! So reading tips and strategies and accomplishments helps me immensely.
Every day I log. Very few days off program but moving along the next and you have helped with that too.
And every day I appreciate the time you all take to post. Thank you.

My marriage is doing better than it has in years! It's amazing how being more honest with my food and exercise habits have impacted being more honest in my marriage. I've been telling my husband how much I actually weigh instead of being ashamed and isolating because of it.30

Congratulations on all of this - I too made a job change six months ago, which allowed me to really focus on my health for the first time in a very long time. It's so liberating. Keep up the fantastic work!!11 -
Had to work from home yesterday because of the weather. Working from home usually sends me into a tailspin of eating every sweet thing under the sun (in an office setting, I usually stay within socially acceptable behavior - it is bad for your image to shove four cupcakes into your face in front of your CEO, lol). This time around, I stayed completely within my calories, managed to fit in a workout in my home gym during lunch, and snacked on celery sticks and yogurt dip instead of chocolate32
