I notice when shopping, I am more and more often skipping the motorized cart and relying on my cane or the regular push cart to balance me. Also, my bedtime blood glucose tonight was 147. I used to be doing good to see that number in the mornings.34

I started on WW exactly 6 months ago this coming Saturday. I'm 3.4 pounds away from hitting the 100 lb down mark.
But even cooler this morning was the realization that I was on the last notch of what will be the third belt I've gotten too small for since I started. This was in addition to realizing this weekend that I needed to go down another size in shirts again and that the size pants I could squeeze into was the same size I was wearing when I graduated high school.
Unfortunately I was struggling with my weight then as well so I still easily have another 100+ pounds to go but it's going to be really cool to start wading into totally uncharted territory for me personally in terms of my size.24 -

I only took about 3 bites of the younger boys’ ice cream, so NSV there too
they’re excited to try a slightly longer ride to the baseball fields, with a goal of working up to the 3.6 m each way trip to their best friends’ house. Love seeing them tackle with ease something that last year seemed impossible, and make plans for harder goals. 5 yo is eyeing his older brother’s bike and wanting to finally be confident without training wheels. Pretty sure the 3 yo just wants the bike trailer to himself to eat snacks in, but hey, they’ve all got goals.
ETA: I can see the gigantisizing of America at work in this shave ice shop. EVERYTHING is huge. There are no kid’s sizes. The smallest cup is what would have been an adult medium when I was a kid. Mine shared two to a cup, but still...nothing smaller??? It would have taken gargantuan will power to eat half of that “small” and throw the rest away (not going to bike it home).
I agree about the supersizing of American portions. I am grateful that my local ice cream shop offered offers a teeny tiny size. I always ask for a taster spoon to go with it.6 -
Yesterday I tied a necktie I hadn't worn in a few months. I can usually tie all my ties perfectly the first time around. I just kind of know where the long and short ends should go. Well I tied it long. After feeling off my tie game, I realized that I would have tied it perfectly a few months ago, but the tie doesn't have to go as long to reach my belt buckle because there is less belly it has to cover.24

A little TMI... Started exercising again after a long time so anticipating the need for a sport bra, which I do not have, I found a much smaller regular bra in my dresser to use, figuring it would be tight and serve the purpose. Turned out it fit me better than the large one I was presently wearing. FOUR inches smaller! Woo Hoo.21

I bought a bike this weekend! And I asked the salesman if it had a weight restriction or limit, and he looked me up and down and said, "You won't have to worry about it." The manual says 300lbs, which is where I was last year. Almost at 50 lbs gone, and I'm SOO looking forward to riding my bike to work and on the trails we have.27

A few minutes ago, a co-worker asked if I’ve lost weight. She said she could see it in my face. 🙂18

This is one I'm looking forward to as well!!7 -
My jeans kept falling off, so instead of buying a belt, I tried on my older, smaller jeans and they fit! 2 sizes down!18

I love reading these and come back to this thread often. I do wonder why ALL of us seem to have that pair of jeans, dress, shorts, t-shirt, etc that hasn't fit in a long time but we keep it anyway. There is something a little magical about trying it on one more time before it's being donated and WOOHOO it fits. The last time you tried it was sad and you just folded it up and but it back but this time- this time it fits. Magic we make for ourselves is the best kind.18

I found 2 cute spring dresses at dollar store, in between sizes, one a little big, the other fitted tight so they were cheap, I bought both, neat being able to wear both, if I want one loose fitting or for church and the other when we go out this summer to fairs, or whatever. I suddenly like to shop after 30 lb loss.11

Just talked myself down off the ledge from a pointless pancake binge.. i started making them and was about to put myself well over my calorie goal for no reason
I literally had to talk to myself "why are you doing this? " "you're not even hungry at this minute" "they don't even taste that good" "why are you doing this to yourself when you've already messed up the past few days- do you want to undo all the work you did last year? "
Ugh threw one in the bin and put the pan away. This is why I don't keep flour in the house- I only bought it to make something particular for my husband last week but the pancake making and scoffing is an old bad boredom binge eating habit from when I was a teenager. Luckily it's plain flour so they haven't been tasting that great.
Sorry for the long post just so glad I stopped myself this evening..50 -

I did pull-ups and dips with an assist of LESS than half my body weight today.18

I appear to be between sizes again depending on the brand - this time it's a medium and small. I don't know whether to be happy or to be mildly grumpy because I'm perfectly fine wearing mediums (my BMI still classes me at overweight at 27.7) and now I need to go exchange one of the t-shirts I bought today.8

I'm so pleased that after 30 years I am starting to buy clothes that aren't labeled as plus size!34

I have this one form fitting dress in my closet that I haven’t worn in a few months—it has a high neckline and sleeves, so I can wear it to church, but haven’t bc it had moved from “tailored” to “indecently tight”. Put it on this Sunday and I had a little room to spare in the hips/belly! Even though the scale has stayed pretty stable, even a pound or so up, it didn’t feel like the straight jacket I remember....guess upping my lifting has had some effect!20

I was going to have a planned treat day at the parents' house on Sunday. Blew a tire on my car Saturday night. Almost asked for a ride, but then realized the only reason I wanted to come over was for food, and it's a pain to get a ride, so I decided to not go over. I visit my parents every weekend, so it wasn't like I was missing out on a special day or anything, lol.13

Speaking as a parent, with grown children, any day you get to see your children is a special day. I haven't seen mine since Christmas.28

I was out in the woods doing a compass exercise with search and rescue this weekend, and we had to get up to the top of a bluff to find our flag point. I hit a rocky point and could only find hand holds at around chest height, and had to haul my body weight plus pack weight up until I could get a knee onto one of those hand hold spots.
I was amazed. I only recently got back into weight training, and I would not have been able to do that 2 months ago.
I feel so strong!21
