I had to check mine and I weight exactly what my driver's license says. When I renewed it a few years ago I was probably at 210 or 215 but it still said 170 so I didn't change it. Now I'm back to 170!!!!!!!! I hadn't even thought of that one. Thank you @brittanystebbins95

@brittanystebbins95 This is such a good one! I haven't looked at the weight on my driver's license in a long time but went to check it after reading your comment. I was 160lbs last time I renewed my license in 2017, got up to 192lbs over the past few years but I actually weighed in at exactly 160lbs again today. What are the odds??12

1.) I went shopping for new shirts. Tried one on that was not plus sized. It slid on easily, without stretching or straining the fabric, and fit me comfortably.
2.) My chest now sticks out farther than my stomach does.33 -
started out eating too much food, dangerous stuff, choc nut sundae from dairy queen, then some potato salad, then 2 bags of chips, not 1 but 2 so I said Whoa, this is not acceptable. Later I wanted to keep being bad, thought about going to mcdonalds for ice cream and apple pie and burger king for some good looking cookies. I ate a bite of a poptart which curbed the sweet binge and DID NOT GO AFTER THAT JUNK FOOD, thank goodness! don't know what gets into me but I did stop, big for me. I said do you want to gain that 30 lbs back?30

I have a few more NSVs from the last couple of months:
- My shoulders used to be round and soft. Now I can feel my bones. It took me by surprise, even though I knew they were there, under all the squishiness.
- I'm at the last hole on my belt. I did not expect that to happen so soon.
- The biggest surprise of all, though... I considered buying a full length mirror. For the very first time in my life (I'm 47). I did NOT see that coming. It actually brought tears to my eyes, since I have always hated seeing my reflection.
Thanks to everyone who keeps this thread alive, you're all an inspiration!28 -
I don't know if it's my imagination or something, but my bra felt a lot looser today. That's a good feeling.18

A suit that I could not get into a month ago looked really good on me today when I wore it, very comfortable fit. Thought it would take more weight loss than I have had for that to happen.
A second thing I noticed today when taking out trash and especially when bringing empty cans back up to house, my exercise may be paying off--or the trashcans have lost weight! Much easier for me to handle.16 -
Today, my husband and I went to a shop we used to go to quite frequently when I was obese and haven't been to in some time, not since I blasted the weight off (almost 73lbs ago). When the owner saw us she said to my husband "who is this women and does your wife know about her"?!?). She was kidding, but it didn't seem like it at first--she did a double-take on me, then She hugged me super tight and said she was so happy for me and told me a I looked fabulous and that I look like a much much younger woman now--like a thirty-something year old (I'm wayyyyyyy older than a thirty something year old)!!!! She made me feel like a million bucks, TAX FREE!!!!!!!34

Today I noticed a reduction in my excess saggy baggy skin. I have lost 78lbs and at 62 years old my skin is not as forgiving as it was in my youth. I have been maintaining my weight since July last year. It may be taking time but there is a definite improvement.29

Hubby told me yesterday that it seems like I got skinny overnight. Its been over 2 years since he called me skinny.
I did a one-hour moderate impact youtube workout and I felt great afterwards. Before this, I probably couldnt do more than 10 or 15 min max.
Yesterday I weighed myself and Im now exactly the same weight I was at my wedding.
A lady at my church stopped me and asked me what I was doing because I look so good.
I rejected some cookies at work this week and my coworker asked me why. I said I can't eat sweets. And he asked me why. Now if I was fat, I know he wouldn't have asked me that 😆
Im loving this healthy journey Im on.

I ate a banana instead of a “share” bag of m&m’s29

I was called skinny TWICE this week. I've lost 17kg (I am almost at 40% of my weightloss), but apparently it's noticeable. I don't need the comments, but they are still really nice when you get them
My size 16 (Aus) jeans are getting baggy! YAAAAAAAAAY!17 -

Okay. I dig where you're coming from--BUT...you forgot the "TAX-FREE" part, that's a pretty fantabulous part of me "feeling like millon bucks" too Thanks so much for your encouraging reply! {{{{ HUGS }}}}4 -

Wow! I'm not sure if that avatar pic is you, but if it is---WOW, you're one fabulous looking 62 years YOUNG. You're a winner, period (whether that's your pic or not).5 -
I need to have a day surgery soon (hernia repair). I was visiting with the nurse and she said, "Your weight is good and you are in great shape. You should have no problems and a quick recovery." That's why we start these journeys - to be healthy. I was pretty happy.33

First ever sub 6 minute kilometre on the bootcamp warm up jog. 5 minutes 56 seconds both days this week. I've been trying for a few weeks to get it done in under 6 minutes. The last pb was 6 minutes 10 seconds. I knocked 14 seconds off! Proud is an understatement.
My jeans that I bought not so long ago are now quite baggy on me. I have another pair I bought at the same time (they were marked down from 120 to 40 & 50, I couldn't say no to that deal) that are a size smaller, so equivalent to an AU14, when I tried them on they fit, but were a little tight. I'm planning on wearing them this weekend. I'm actually an AU14 in jeans!!! Wow!15 -

Thank you for the complement.
It is my pic. I had a photo shoot done in July last year when I reached my goal weight of 60kg. The hair colour is thanks to my hairdresser but the rest is all me. I insisted that I did not want to be photo shopped as I wanted the pictures to look like me and not a plastic doll.18
