Making progress, albeit slowly. Today's NSV are cumulative losses in inches: 1.5 off my chest, 1.5 off my waist, and 4.25 off my hips. The scale is down 18 lbs, too, but it's the inches that are satisfying to see shrink!
Had a substitute instructor in my Grit class last night. The last time she subbed was late last summer, but she remembered me and commented on how much progress I've made in class and asked me how much weight I've lost.
My mum gave me some clothes that she didn’t want, some black skinny jeans size 12 (UK) and a size 10 jumper. She’s a 14 in trousers and bought the 12 as sales lady said how great she looked, but she couldn’t eat in them! She said maybe I can give them to a friend! the trousers not only fit me but are loose in the waist and top fit perfect. This NSV is mum always commented about my weight and I’ve always been bigger than her, she put me on first diet aged 8. It mean seen petty but I love that I’m skinnier and fitter than her now, plus I get given clothes now lol
Last two nights I finished my calories for the day at dinner. A bit later I wasn’t really hungry but I’m used to munching after dinner. Instead, I came on here and read some of the forum threads, which gave me enough resolve not to go over my calorie goal because of mindless habit.
There's this one fitted sweater dress that I've kept for perhaps 15 years hoping it would fit someday. Tried it on today to see how far away it is. It FIT! And I hated the style LOL! 15 years and I hated it Into the give away pile it went!

Is it mean that this made me laugh? Only because I did something similar with a pair of trousers At least you can feel proud you got into the dress 😁🎉🎉

The last time I rode on the London Overground I had to squeeze into the seat and felt pinched and uncomfortable while in it. Yesterday I rode the Overground again and was able to sit comfortably in it with no pinching and squashing feeling.

I have a few items of clothing I’ve also had for at least 15 years and refused to throw out because I KNEW I would ft into them again one day. Some I fit into again but others, not quite yet. I don’t even like half of them but I’m a bit weird when it comes to throwing things away. Charity shops it is i think, lol.

I still have the jeans I wore on my first date with my husband, in 1999. They finally fit again. They are soooo 90s, but they fit! I'm keeping them forever

When I was around size 18/20 and first joined MFP, I tried on a size 16 denim dress in a secondhand shop and almost loved it. It fit but it was skin tight on my belly/hip area. So I had it hanging in the closet for awhile as my "goal" (I never thought I'd wind up at size 10). Anyway, I tried on that dress several times and it literally went from skintight on hips & belly to saggy and AWFUL everywhere else, in like a month or so. I was really glad I only paid a buck or two for it!!
There has been birthday cake in my home for like nearly a week now. This is such a NSV for me because birthday cake is my faaaavvvv dessert. I could easily eat four pieces in a day.
So after i gave my self permission to eat two pieces ( I had 1300 cals for dinner and yeah used it on that >.>) on Sunday. I haven't touched it again and here Sunday is coming up again!
I bought new activewear on the weekend - one full size down, both pants AND tops, and they aren't tight on me! YAAAAY! I wore the new activewear for my PT session and my PT commented how awesome I am looking. He said "Finally you've bought smaller gym stuff. I was going to tell you to do that because the other tops you;ve been wearing are far too big! And if you're pulling up your gym pants - THEY'RE TOO BIG!". Talk about stroking my ego!
And this morning, I tried on an old pair of size 16 jeans, because my size 18's are swimming on me. I was convinced the jeans would be too tight. NOPE! Fits perfectly - they are not snug one-iota! I can see these jeans being replaced by a smaller pair in the not-too-long future!
This weekend I will be going through my closest and getting rid of anything size 18 and over. This will be showing me I can never return to my heaviest weight ever! I have to help my brain understand that I am getting smaller.
Let's add smaller-sized top too So I am now officially an Australian size 16! And the clothes aren't a tight fit! I am sooo happy!
I have a red winter jacket that is an Australian size 14 that I am hanging out to wear. It's one of my new NSV goal. If I continue the rate of weightloss I'm currently at (~1kg per week), I could be wearing it in late July/early August - which is when it's the coldest here in my hometown of Adelaide.

YAAAAY! Awesome work!
Yes - the shrinkage in my body rather than the number on the scales is making me a lot happier and is far more satisfying. It's because the scales have far too many variables that cause fluctuations, whereas when you lose inches (or centimeters in my case!), it's a solid result.
