I bought some pants and new underwear after a big weight loss. They are falling off now. I'm stoked.22

I realised on the bus today that I am no longer being embarrassed by the fact that no one will sit beside me except as a last resort (because I used to take up my seat and part of theirs). I used to be the last one to get the seat next to me filled and then once there was another free seat the person next to me would more often than not move to it. I understood completely but it was horrible that I couldn't fit in just my seat. Also if there was only an aisle seat for me then I would have half my bottom hanging over the edge so I didn't crowd the window sitter out too much. But then when people went to get off the bus they had to shove past my large body. Slowly things changed without me even noticing until today when I realised that there were empty seats all around me and someone came and sat down beside me. I'm fitting within my seat now and only my seat and the person didn't mind sitting beside me. It's been like that for a while but I didn't realise until today.
Another thing that happened to me was that I finally reached the halfway point and my ticker is bang on half way! I was so excited to see that!

I did a workout today!!!
I haven't been able to do any for a long time. Besides being fat I also have a chronic illness and I'm usually too sick to fit any workouts into my energy plan.
Tonight however I was feeling like it and had enough energy sooo I did a mini workout and it didn't drain me as much as I was afraid of which means I'll be able to do more of them in the future 🙌😍
I'm super happy!29 -

Looks like they even are a bit big for you! Is it a size 2 in US or UK sizes?4 -
My muscle definition is becoming visible in my legs again. Getting my runner's legs back. Plus, my shoulders are becoming more square again thanks to some presses and push ups.20

I can name a few!!
I realized simple everyday tasks are becoming easier such as carrying the groceries upstairs!
Pants that used to fit suddenly are to big, even though the scale has stayed the same (this slightly annoys me though haha)!
At work I can bend, squat and move with ease.
People at work are commenting on my appearance, saying I am looking smaller
I can lift heavier weights and do longer more intense workouts!
I started this journey last year and my weight loss has been very slow. I have lost about 35 lbs over the year. That is because I LOVE food lol and I love weight lifting. My body composition is changing but the scale is stalled. I am hoping once my hormone fluctuations settle down this month I will see that scale dip again.
I still have 30 lbs to go!28 -
@bstanford510 Awesome! So Impressed with that loss!!!
@NightHawk584 Amazing in one year! Good for you!5 -
I went to a very smart boutique today, where a lot of the dresses are one size because they don't make a huge number of them. I fit into everything I tried on, meaning it's pretty safe to assume I'm average sized right now.27

Today, looking in the mirror I started to see torso muscles I didn't even know I had. Additionally, the belt that had gotten very small is now way too large.
I am on the right path and very happy for it. A few more pounds and I going to buy some "mid point" pants as my current pairs are really not working anymore.13 -
Did my fastest 5k tonight in a treadmill workout!23

I feel like a moron posting this but on the leg press machine I noticed I had a dark smudge on my calf. I figured it was from the stair treadmill or different equipment. I tried to rub it away unsuccessfully and it turned out to be a calf muscle shadow!36

Nothing moronic about that - I've had similar.7 -

Congratulations! I've donated everything BUT what I bought last summer, I don't plan on fitting in it again but because it's newer I feel like I didn't get enough wear out of them. Stupid because they're 2 sizes too big!13 -
@Katmary71: I've had to do that too. I felt really bad because some of this I'd just gotten last fall and they were "still good" but I can't wear it if it's falling down and such. So out it went.10

Posted earlier that I ordered some clothes from Chico's in a smaller size...they came today and though they are snug everything fit!17

For the first time I got through the whole kettlebell class with my 8kg kettlebell not having to switch to a lower weight towards the end21

So most of you will remember how as children we all learnt how to sit on the mat in front of the classroom teacher with our legs crossed? I was certainly good at crossing my legs and sitting still as a child. I used to be quite flexible and could get into some odd positions as a child.
Well anyway, with my weight loss came my lack of flexibility and being unable to do even simple things like bending over to pick up things. But I already posted my nsv about how I can now bend down easily... so useful and I happily make use of that skill again multiple times a day.
At the start of my weight loss I spent some time with kids in a school and I could not cross my legs on the mat with them. It was bad enough just getting down on the floor, but then I had to kind of sit sideways and it took up too much room and I lent heavily on my arm making it sore and my wrist almost break but I had no choice. Then I couldn't sit in one position for long because I was so enormous and uncomfortable. This is going somewhere I promise...! ...because today I was working with some kids again and we went to the mat. I got down easily and then gingerly (I promise I wasn't sure if I could do it) crossed my legs. My left thigh was really sore in the crossed position but I decided to ignore it and hope it would loosen up. It did loosen up a bit after a rather painful five minutes. So I only sat for less than ten minutes like that before I couldn't stand it any longer but you know what? I'm going to practice that at home a bit. I would really like to get my flexibility back and the weight loss and the lack of a big stomach and thighs already is helping so much.31 -
Today I was feeling crappy about the scale not going down lately, and out of utter curiosity I stepped on the scale at the gym with my shoes and heavy backpack and coat on. With all those things on I weighed as much as I did in November!24
