When I was dropping the weight and got into larges I felt the same exact way. I even accidentally bought large leggings that I was too heavy for and they fit perfect. There are a couple theories I ran up against:bojaantje3822 wrote: »I managed to fit into size Large sports leggings from adidas today - afaik those don't tend to run huge.
1) muscle of people losing weight who are also now "fitness" sorts. i.e. somehow, when I was 277 I was incredibly sedentary, absolutely no doubt about it. After losing 80 pounds I got a little impatient and generally unhappy because it was the holidays and I did not want to gain weight. So I went from no exercise to 5 miles a day. When this happened I lost no weight, and was a large!
2) Also someone also mentioned the lose skin as a possible "the tape is also lying" I sew, and I used to know my measurements and trust my tailor tape. Pfft, lying little inchworm! I got to the point where when I even wrapped the tape into the skin for the "dough effect", it was still too loose!! I don't really get that either, except it still happens.
My hubby said that maybe it was just because I was trying to clothe a constantly changing form. Maybe.
Also @bojaantje3822 I loved your NSV of not eating the cookies, and instead feeling the negative feelings. THAT is how you do it!! (((hugs)))

I need some help with this please! I eat meatless 3 days a week for religious reasons, BUT I am allergic to whey (and of course cheese is one of the main food reasons that I was obese for so long). I have successfully added beans instead of cheese, and I tried the Tofutti cream cheese, because the store had that. It looked perfectly like cream cheese, and acted like cream cheese, but they didn't even put salt in it?? I have this tastes like butter powder and ate it, now it sits in the tray.
Has anyone ever had any vegan cheese that doesn't taste so horrible?

For shredded cheese, I like Violife brand. Their cream cheese leaves much to be desired, but the shredded mozzarella, parmesan block, and shredded colby jack taste 90% like the real thing. No whey in it either.4 -

If you can find it Applewood smoked vegan cheese is by far the nicest imo.
( I'm in the UK though, no idea how available it is elsewhere)1 -
My daughter made a lot of her own vegan cheeses. They’re basically soaked and liquified nuts, as I understood it. You could season them how they like. It wasn’t difficult. She did it nightly.6

It's a small NSV, but I've taken my dogs for long walks two days this week! Also, a co-worker of mine told me today that I eat more leafy greens than anyone she's ever met lol22

Annual physical was yesterday. Annual is just a term. I usually go two years beteen "annual" exams. My doctor says I'm still fit to dive, and the things that I had some concerns about probably aren't what I thought, and that's good.
I had a similar NSV last year. I had a PFO (a hole in the heart) closed in December 2020, and before that I was depth limited. In June last year, my cardiologist announced he was happy with the closure and didn't want to see me again. My diving doctor also got bored of me, and gave me unlimited sign off until the end of time.
I celebrated by buying a twinset and doing 10 days' diving on the South Coast (in Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.)

I've never bought any, but I sometimes make my own. It is nice, probably not as good as a high-quality proper cheese, but then what is?
Here is the recipe I use:

After about six weeks of dealing with lower back issues to include pinched nerves. I have done some cardio over the last two days and did some core stuff yesterday on the roman chair with a six pnd med ball. Not only do I not hurt from it, I'm ready for some more.16

I went grocery shopping today.
In the past whenever I went, i bought atleast 3-4 crisps and more often than not, would finish all of them in one sitting.
Today, I hovered over to the other side of the market. It all looked so unfamiliar, eventhough I have been to this place many many times. Its because every single time I went, I would go to the unhealthy snacks section, get my unhealthy stuff and head back. Since I didnt go there today, I wandered around other areas.
I went to the snacks section in the end, and got only 1!! Which I finished today, but had no desire of eating more than that!18 -
Since January 3 I've lost 36 pounds. Starting at 280 and now at 244. MFP following my calorie goals mainly and walking with some running. My goal is 100 lbs lost by next January 3. It's on track. Thankful for friends doing MFP as well as God for being there with me on this road.18

Lost 120 lbs, and I am pretty certain I am a medium. I bought a super soft t-shirt from Sam's in a small, because it said it was "relaxed fit". I tried it on and it was pretty lose, perfect! I showed the hubby after mentioning that I have 15 more pounds until I am at normal BMI. I used to be a 3x with no way of buying cheap tees. Hubby said, "what is after small?" I was like "What? You mean smaller than small? Extra small maybe? I don't know, I have never been this size!" I do wonder if I will be extra small at ultimate goal weight, at which point - I think I will be back at expensive clothes? Honestly, I have no clue!
5'3" 48yo SW 277 CW 155, rocking this insanity during *dramatic music* peri-menopause! It's true that two weeks out of the month I have no idea what my weight is due to water retention. Other than that cico works the same as long as you keep on keeping on.. and so does the laziness of getting older, you just have to fight the bear. *NOW YOU MUST FIGHT THE BEAR!*23 -

I LOVE peanut butter, but it is such a calorie bomb that I've had to cut it completely from my diet. Not. Any. More. Wooo hoooo!!!
(It's the little things in life. Haha)
This!!
I actually go for powdered organic chocolate peanut butter. At only 50 calories per 2TBS it is just the right treat. I enjoy it mostly with a sliced apple and usually make it on the thinner side and use it as a dipping sauce. Yum.
Please help me understand this. I have found that it makes much less when I add the water. so to get the same amount "of premixed so to speak" - the calories are the same? Am I looking at this wrong, because I do miss peanut butter!2 -
I have achieved the thigh gap of legend... never thought I'd be here! (Especially at over 200#!)15

I love you. You are one of my inspirations and I’m so happy for every milestone and NSV you post. I am always silently first pumping with everything you post and log.
XS is next. And Target’s XL girls clothes are the same size as S and XS. Just make sure the neckline is OK. Some tend to be too high since, duh, they’re made for kids, not boobs. I’ve got allll the sequin girls’ shirts because there’s no such things as too much bling. $10 bucks a pop. And a pair of great jeggings with pandas embroidered on the knees, lol. Friends think I’m getting this stuff from boutiques. 😂16 -

(Great tip!)
Thanks!!!3 -
