I had to use the middle hook (as oppose to the last outer hook!) on my bra today! That means I've lost inches on my bust! YAAAAAAAAY!

I had the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago. It felt great.

It does! And it's not an old crappy bra either - I only bought this one 4 weeks ago!

My bust is the last to lose inches, so this is definitely another huge NSV for me!

Wearing a pair of pants to work I haven't worn in 3 years. Going to rummage back through my old wardrobe this weekend to see if I can discover anything else that fits now!

I was waiting for the train when I had this weird feeling that "someone was watching me". I looked around and saw that it was a former pupil -a very nice boy who I taught for three years and with whom I've always had a good relationship. So, I came up to him and told him "what's up, are you not saying hello any more?" The boy blushed, and told me he hadn't approached because he wasn't sure it was me, I was so thin and different... and he was only sure it was me when he heard my voice.
This boy spent three years in my classroom, sitting in the first row, so he had a perfect view of me until two years ago. The fact that he didn't recognise me tells me that my body has really changed, even if I don't really notice it. (Maybe because I see myself int he mirror every day, he hadn't seen me in about a year and a half)

@GemimaFitzTed @TheRedQueen Funny you mention bras...
I had thought I was going to have to stop wearing my favorite when I remembered (felt kind of dumb too) that it had more than one hook. Now I'm on the smallest one and it fits just right. I have bought a new one - size 38 vs the 42 I've been wearing too. I'm so glad because 38B is easier to find than 42B, and at least for now the B is still good. I know I'll be going down to an A soon enough. For me it's the worse part of losing weight - my booty is still gigantic while my top side is barely holding it's own.

Went down a notch on my belt today. Noticed that my bra was getting loose in both the cup and band, so I tried on the bra that was always too tight -- it fits!

Understand, in addition to a weight issue, I also have some permanent injuries from a car accident.

Two days ago, I went nature hiking with my husband and daughter. There is a wildlife sanctuary near us, and our family likes to go. The first time I was there, I required my walker, so I could sit and rest any time I needed to, even if there was no bench available. Last November, when hubby's parents were visiting, I did OK with my cane but had to use those benches quite a bit while the others went down a trail and then looped back around to me.

This time, it had been raining and the benches were soaking wet. I only needed to rest a couple of times, but I could manage to do that standing up. I made it all the way around the trail. Stood there with my husband, watching the river flow.

PS: I haven't used that walker in almost a year, and the reason I used it then was because I had broken my toe.

My treadmill died on Monday. I usually run on it Mon-Wed-Fri before the kids and hubby wake up. I went out and did a quick run outside on Monday, but the water fountain I planned on using at the park wasn’t on. Hubby was traveling for work, so I walked with the baby during the week.
This morning, hubby was back. I had a water bottle with a strap ready to go. I slept awful (possibly because I was excited about my run?) but I got up, suited up, drank my cold coffee, and did W11D3 of C210K. I did way better than I have ever done on the treadmill. And it felt so good!
I’ll get a new treadmill sometime. Hubby travels too much to always be able to plan around him, the kids, and the weather. But it’s nice to have conquered my apprehension about running outside before dawn.

My favorite Girl Scout cookie was out on the counter in the break room, I didn't have a single one! (though I did have some last night, but logged them!)

Today's NSV:
I did not let the cold stop me from going on a walk! Got a mile and a half in!!!

Am I going to get woos for this?

This week I started to see a vein running along my left shoulder to my bicep when I flex. The vein isn’t popping, but now I see it in the mirror!

One size less in pants, one less in bra.
Reduced snoring, my husband is so happy!
I’m not anymore always attracted to always eat crap food.
More energy, more smiles! Sleep also better.
Using jackets I couldn’t for two years ago.
Even if it is a scale victory, to weight the same I did for ten years ago the last time.

Some coworkers asked me this week if I lost weight, nice to feel others see it! But I also feel insecure with that,one of them just comment “the difficult is to keep it”. And I agree. It’s what I fear the most. I’m also afraid people judging me if I do.

Unfortunately, my belly doesn’t reduce att the same speed. It feels strange to get in a XL-L size, even if my belly is just of the charts. How long it will take to get a “not a ballon” one??

Still have a long way to go on my journey but here it goes:

+++ I can jump and squat in Zumba class.

+++ It doesn't hurt my knees/legs to get up and down from sitting anymore.

+++ I have more energy in general.

+++ My clothes are fitting better.
