Today I ordered food at a food truck, sat next to it on a very busy shopping street all alone, ate my meal and didn't freak out (well at least not too much) about people seeing me eat. This may sound very weird but it's such a nice small victory for me. When I was morbidly orbese I avoided eating out. I would do it in a restaurant sitting in a small corner with friends but out in public (alone!!) on a busy street where hundreds of people could see and (in my head?!) judge me? Hell no. But today I did it. Yay. \o/
Also I went shopping and tried on many dresses and didn't feel horrible. Some looked even nice (and they actually fit
) I didn't buy anything, because I wanna wait 'til I hit my goal weight before I buy new (awesome) clothes. However it was still nice trying on a bunch of stuff and see that I at least already look better in dresses than a year ago. 38 -

What a great day and NSVs!6 -
Started wearing some pajama pants I found in my closet that were way too tight to wear a while back.19

I can see my feet as I go down the stairs. So, THAT’S where they’ve been!25

Three years ago I had an ACL surgery on my left knee. When I restarted losing my weight in late March the differences between left thigh&right thight and left knee&right knee were over 1.5cm. After a month of losing weight and sporadic weight training, right now they are only 0.5cm different!19

Love this thread!! So motivating!

I'm currently on vacation, but my friends and I decided to do a nice hiking trail the other day. Well little did we know it was actually a 10+ hour roundtrip hike that included many many stairs, bouldering, and use of every muscle.
Even though there were a lot of times that I wanted to give up, I finished it! It's been three days since and my body is still very sore, but I did it!

Got another Garmin bump in the VO2 Max department.

Most of my friends would probably die if they had to wear a size 16 dress but I'm psyched!! Could it be I won't be shopping in the plus size department??? I can't believe it!!
And according to my unscientific Google research, Kate Spade actually runs a little small so you're doing super great!
YES! I was gonna say this too based on personal experience. Both Kate Spade and Banana Republic, I wear a 14. I wear 10 and 12 everywhere else.7 -
Finally gave away my fatboy clothes to Goodwill yesterday. Today , I finally went shopping for new clothes. I’ve never developed a joy of clothes shopping so it was work. Went by myself.
$388.39 and three stores later, I’m the proud owner of two pair of new shoes, two pair of Van Huesen dress kaki’s, two pair of Levi athletic-fit jeans (no more of the relaxed fit cut necessary) and three Van Huesen ling-sleeve shirts. Could have gone for a smaller size on the Levi!s but don’t like the feeling like my crotch is in a straight jacket.
Also got a haircut. Life is good and I’m blessed.38 -
After almost a year and losing over 80lbs, I hit goal today. I did the happy dance I've been looking forward to for so long! 😄 My NSV was that I went to the supermarket this afternoon, filled up my basket and didn't buy a single treat! Not because I didn't want to reward myself, but because I didn't want to use food as a reward and I really want to make a success of maintenance!39

Life is good, isn't it?
I went Thursday and bought a selection of clothes AT Goodwill (probably not yours
) I'm wearing one of the shirts right now, it looks so good. I haven't been wearing shirts that fit, because we don't have a lot of money for clothes right now. I found a pair of Gap washable wool work pants that look fantastic on me and a few other workwear pieces.
It does feel good to get new clothes. I am also feeling blessed

My husband said that I looked "all leggy and sexy" yesterday, dressed up for a wedding. My legs have usually been my worst feature, but this morning I could see a very definite taper between my thighs and my knees and calves. I have nice leg muscles!25

Two persons have asked me to go for a run with them this week. Love it.13

I am now just overweight, not obese or morbidly obese like I used to be. And when I got ready for my bike ride had to tighten the Velcro on my shoes because they were too loose.31

At church today, pulling up my new (smaller size) slacks even wearing a belt and thinking how much more pleasant it is than thinking how I can hardly wait to get home to take off the snug pants and put on the faded baggy green sweat pants on with the loose draw string.18

Awesome!9 -
I wore a white tee shirt yesterday. In public. And we had our pictures taken from the back, to show the slogan (fundraiser for American Lung Association).
Did not die of embarrassment. \o/20 -
A pretty common nsv, but my pants, which were on the verge of bursting are loose and almost baggy. 15

A month ago I bought some new business clothes as I had a couple of business trips beginning of April. Those clothes are now big on me. Yay! But tomorrow I'm going on another business trip and my wardrobe is now much more limited >.<12
