I've noticed that since now that my clothes are either sized medium or large, I can fit a lot more in my large suitcase that I could with my sized 2XL wardrobe. Wow, even my luggage can now be a smaller size. Haha.
This is so great. I love that I can hang up more of my clothes now that they are smaller. When I would hang most plus-sized tops & dresses on plastic hangers they would pull down and get lumps near the shoulder. Now things hang neatly unless they're very delicate/sheer or extra heavy items.

I have a sticker that says, "If knitting were exercise, you could bounce a quarter off my *kitten*." I'd be in amazing shape.
Hahahahaha!
Got a new NSV today, too. I was going to bed last night, and I realized all my dress pants were dirty.
Threw them in the washer, promised myself I would get up early to throw them in the dryer ... and woke up late! I was so mad at myself! I put everything in the dryer, thinking I would wearing slightly damp clothes (the worst) so I wouldn't be late to work.
But while I was waiting, I decided to try on a smaller pair I had that was way too tight to wear in public two months ago. Not only did they fit, they were loose! I had to wear my belt, and what started as a crappy, hectic morning turned into a great one! 37 -
I've spent the past two days in seminars for work, meaning a lot of sitting and little walking, hotel lunches, and boring topics (I mean, some folks can get excited about auditing, but I'd rather be out counting steps). Anyway, two NSVs:
1- because Monday was my birthday, I allowed myself a brownie with lunch. ONE brownie! And not the biggest brownie on the tray either. And didn't feel the least bit guilty (I'm 3 lbs from goal).
2- after getting home yesterday, there was still daylight left, so I went for a 2.5 miles walk before supper.25 -
I did 4 pull-ups with 25 pounds added to the weight belt!!!29

When I talk with my hands (which I do a lot), I can feel my wedding ring move around on my finger. My knuckles are slightly swollen from arthritis, so it isn't going to easily slip off but the moving around on my finger is a new thing.
BTW, related to that visual of what 5 lbs of fat looks like, my favorite visualization was at 48 lbs down (I am maintaining at 63 down). To get the effect of what it was like to walk around before the weight loss, I would have had to carry around a case of butter under each arm all day long.9 -

You're a beast.
I've been working on my pull ups all winter and have been trying to figure when a good time is to add weight, I have an adjustable weight vest. This gives me inspiration.6 -

Once I could do eight in one set, my trainer started adding weighted sets now and then.4 -

Met a colleague today, we speak often on the phone, but it’s two years since we met, his first words to me were “wow, you look amazing”

Adding 16:8 intermittent fasting to my low carb diet is making a difference. I'm diabetic, so that is more of a concern for me than weight. I'm getting blood sugar readings under 100 mg/dL. every week my average readings are going down by about 5mg/dL. soon I will be consistently in "Normal" range.15

Today I had two people tell me that I had lost a lot of weight.16

I got new uniforms for work (size 10 instead of size 18) and people have been constantly commenting on how good I am looking and asking if I have lost weight. In the old saggy, baggy uniforms it was hard to see the newer, smaller me.19

Well, a few weekends ago I went hiking and when I put my favorite pair of pants on over my thermal leggings (hazards of hiking in Wisconsin in February) they were a bit loose. Didn't seem too bad and I was happy at the sign of weight loss. I got ready as usual. Well, unfortunately (fortunately?!) they were far looser than I thought and kept sliding right off my bum withing minutes of getting on the trail! I ended up having to use my emergency para-cord bracelet as a makeshift belt because there was no way I was getting through that 13.2 mile hike with those pants!
If only I could afford new REI hiking pants!
I just got a dress professionally taken in - can you do that?5 -
