My "B" belly only looks like a "B" when looking at me from the side, the sides of the top part of the "B" don't stick out anymore. They still stick out at the bottom, which is where I'd been measuring my hips at - right below my waist, but not as much.
I'm more like a rectangle right now from the front than an overflowing hourglass, and I couldn't be MORE thrilled.
I can now feel the thing on the end of my thigh bone at my hips. So I have started measuring my hips down there. Is that more accurate? I've been so fat for so long that I have no idea where my hips are! The widest part of my body was about two inches lower than my waist. These hip bones are about seven-eight inches lower.
Your hips are around the largest part of your butt. Right below my waist has always been bigger than my hips so I had no idea either XD3 -
Had to go clothes shopping yesterday for a trip I'm taking in a couple of weeks. Saw this shirt that I really liked. Most of the clothes I have currently (for my top half, size 16 in denim & 14 in material on the bottom half...hello pearshape!)are stretchy material by coincidence & have been a UK size 10 or 12. Because they're stretchy, I didn't think anything of it...I know that sounds weird!
This shirt however had no stretch at all. My entire life my arms have been a magnet for my fat & there were no size 14s left. I took the size 12 into the changing room & found myself a wee bit teary in there because it fit beautifully.
This time last year I recall trying on a size 22 shirt & having to put it back because my arm wouldn't even fit through the sleeve. All those gruelling arm workouts must've really paid off, they don't look pretty outside of clothes, but in clothes the only word is...compact.
I'm over the moon!44 -
I can wear my favourite brand of hoodies again. It's been almost 7 years since I could wear one since their sizes don't accommodate plus size.17

I bought 2 pairs of shorts. I have not worn shorts since I was a kid. I was always embarrassed by my flabby legs, even when I was younger and thin. I've been working hard in the gym and for the first time in my life I am not ashamed to wear shorts. I was showing my kids my purchases and they were shocked because they have never seen me in anything shorter than capris. Big victory for me! I live in the desert, so suffering through 120 degree heat in pants was miserable haha!19

I’ve got a pair of size 10 jeans on! This style runs big so it’s more like a 12 and I have a little too much muffin top to wear them out in public yet... but I’m sitting in a pair of size 10 jeans and they’re all buttoned up!!!30

So... right at the back of this video from an evening dance class... there’s a woman who clearly has no balance, coordination, or idea of the steps...
But...
That woman used to weigh 385 lb and have ankles so knackered she could barely walk 600 yards in an entire day. Now she’s bouncing around cheerfully after an hour’s practice, blending right in with normal people. It’s like... is that me? Really? Are you sure?!

Not much of a NSV but I'll take what I can get right now. My knee is injured and I can't run or lift which is driving me berserk. However, at the doctor's office, they made me change into little disposable shorts - clearly labeled size small! Not too long ago I remember when the extra large hospital gown wouldn't cover me so they gave me an extra to wear over the back.

Started this journey 354 days ago in size 42” stretch waist pants. Yesterday I had to return waist size 38” jeans given to me at Christmas (never worn lol) because they were too baggy, left store with 36” waist pants. Wow I haven’t worn 36’s since high school 29 years ago, yeah me
Feeling proud, humble, thankful, determined, and strong..... thanks MFP Family44 -

So, I forgot to do laundry and didn't have any clean khakis to wear to work this morning. I had two choices: either grab the pants I know are too big even with a belt (size 42) or the ones that were too small the last time I tried them on (size 36). I took a chance and grabbed the smaller pair. I worried they'd be too tight but they buttoned up without any issue.34

Didn't even see your post before I made mine today. Sounds like we're in a very similar situation. Congratulations and keep up the hard work!2 -
I sat in our weekly Wednesday morning meeting happily drinking my protein shake while the rest of my department enjoyed the free Bojangles chicken biscuits sitting a foot away from me! I am a Bojangles addict, and I haven't let myself have a "cheat" with it just yet (saving out for a day when my exercise lines up with my chicken supremes addiction) so this was huge for me!21

Well done! I can confirm that Bojangles Chicken Supremes addiction is in fact a real thing

I put my socks on this morning, didn't get winded, didn't "overstretch". Just put them on like a normal person. I am amazed at how much volume body fat has. I still have a ways to go, but 12 pounds evidently took up a lot of space.35

There is a lady where I bank. She has been asking me about my weight loss for months. I told her about MFP and how it has helped me with my weight loss. Today she asked again and this time with her list of excuses. I remember that they were Identical to the excuses that I made before I got with the program. I am not intending to put her down in any way but it was ignorance that bound me to the idea that I could do no better than I was doing.
My NSV for today is that even though the scale has all but quit moving and temptation is to give up, I HAVE NOT returned to my denial. I know what is true when I hear it, even if it comes from inside. If I want to be healthy I need to act responsibly when it comes to food and exercise. I am able to continue today what I was able to do yesterday. I know the truth and the consequences of my actions.38 -
Yesterday I was able to fit into a shirt I haven't been able to wear for a couple years. AND I was able to finish hiking my trail alot faster than usual last night.25

Today I wore my green winter coat with a cardigan underneath. The same coat where the sleeves didn’t fit over the cardigan this time last year, and that in November 2017 wouldn’t button without popping right up again, so I had to buy a new winter coat... hoping it will be too big to wear by November this year!17
