What's Your Most Recent NSV

I put on a pair of size 16 jeans that I couldn't even get around my thighs. Now they fit around my waist, still a little bit tight but in a couple of pounds they will be perfect. Most of my 18s fall down right now. I keep having to pull them up.

Went to dinner at a new place last night. Lots of tempations. I stuck to a burger with lettuce instead of a bun and an appetizer of roasted brussel sprouts. It was SO good, and I felt good knowing I wasn't going to regret it later. I even had a forkful of my daughter's cheesecake and left it at that.

Broke a plateau today. Down 58 pounds. Woohoo!

Even the scale hasn't moved in a little while, my body is still changing.

When I buy a new shirt, I now need to make sure it's sized to fit my shoulders properly; whereas my breasts used to be the problem.

Boot-cut jeans are no longer more flattering than skinny jeans, because my hips and butt are narrower.

I recently had this same realization! I don't need to buy the xl shirts and flare cut jeans. Small and skinny still seem unreal.

I am still really attracted to the plus size racks at Target. I don't know if I really like the styles better or if it's just habit – and I haven't been plus size in a year. I keep catching myself over there and then consciously steering myself away.

Today I went clothes shopping in the sale. All my size 14 (UK) dresses are a bit big on me now, so I was delighted at thinking I must be a size 12.

I bought three dresses. All size 10. There were two other dresses I didn’t get because the smallest size was 12 and it was a little big, especially as I’m still losing.

WTH. I honestly thought my frame size meant I would bottom out at a 12. Also, I’M STILL OVERWEIGHT. I have no idea what is going on anymore.

Saturday is becoming my day to check the success forums and reflect on my week, and it's been a pretty good one! Yesterday I registered for my first ever 5k, just like I promised myself last year that I would. It's hard to think that I've stuck to this so long and I hope the good times keep rolling.

A second NSV yesterday - I was watching a movie at home, twisted around to grab something, and HOLY KITTENS! I've got muscle definition in my arms and shoulders! Just a little bit, but I don't think I've ever had anything resembling definition before. My husband says he can see new definition in my legs, too. Freaking amazing. Lifting weights is my drug.

And last but not least, tomorrow will be two weeks since quitting smoking. BOOM!

I started my journey on my own after a T2 diagnosis last year, but joined a weight loss program at work earlier this year thinking that I was doing it either way, so I might as well get the extra help! Everyone at my current job has been so supportive. My NSV this weekend is that the health coach at work recommended I try yoga, so I went to the free outdoor yoga class she was going to this morning, and it was hard to hold some of the poses because I’m still so big (CW: 293.4), but my body felt very relaxed afterwards and I liked it and I want to do it again. So unlike me to get up before noon on Saturday for a fitness activity. Who am I now? LOL

I realized today I was really stretching my arms out in front of me to reach my steering wheel. I had to move my seat closer to the wheel a lot because there’s so much less of me between the seat and the wheel now! Haha

I love this!! I've driven my same car since I started my weight loss/health stuff almost a decade ago (it was new at the time). It still amazes me how far forward I've moved the seat and how I can actually use the center armrest easily (had to have it up at first when I was 130 lb heavier). My car used to seat three people comfortably and now it seats four because I'm way up in the steering wheel even with my long legs
