My husband received his salary bonus this month, so he gave me some money from it as a late Birthday gift. I rarely buy myself new clothes, so ordered a couple of new items online. When they arrived I was astounded to find that they were on the large side!! So I went into the bottom of my closet and found the charity shop / goodwill bag of 'far too small' clothes that has been hanging out in there for about 4 years, because I keep forgetting to take the darned thing to the charity shop. Well wouldn't you know . .. they now fit great! 🥳🥳🥳👍
I feel a bit guilty for shopping in my own charity donation bag, becuase now the charity won't be getting them, but I have a 'new' wardrobe of clothes again, clothes I know I already love, for the first time in years! lol! 😖
Once I definitely can't get away with wearing the ones that are a little too large (I have more weight to lose), the charity will get those instead! haha! 🤪😂23 -
I shrunk out of my swim capris. So, I ordered a replacement pair in large on Amazon and they fit a little too loose, but the last ones I bought in December are a 2x. 😀 I went to the store and bought a bikini top to replace the tankini top I shrunk out of!
Kind of a weird one… I kept kind of slipping/tripping at Target today. Not falling, but a little bit unsteady on my feet. My husband was like “ do you want the cart to help you keep your balance?”
I was really perplexed… apparently my feet have shrunk because my sandals needed the straps moved down a size. They are just suddenly way too big. 🤷🏻♀️24 -
Recently I wrote down my new measurements and compared them to my starting point ones and it was eye-opening. So today I was feeling slimmer so I tried on some old jeans. One pair I couldn't get all the way over my legs because my calves are too thick 😂 so that was a bust. But the other pair in the same size with wider legs I could close!!! It's been so long since I could fit into a W34 and even if these run large, this is huge. I can't wear them out because I have extreme muffin top in these. I don't mind my rolls showing a bit above my waist but this was extreme. Still, they closed!!!
I think come autumn I should have a bunch of old-new clothes to wear. Very exciting!
Also, I took a pic in new summer PJs that show a lot of leg and my sister, who never mentions my weight or appearance (which is good), told me I looked really great. It was so surprising but I guess the difference must be showing for real now. It's easy to look slimmer in clothes but now my bare legs look smaller too.15 -
My waist was 40.5 inches on June 9 and on July 7 it was 38.5 inches. I've lost two inches off my waist in a month!! One inch off my shoulder, an inch off my thighs and upper abs too!! But i gained 1.5 inches on lower abs and hips as it's TOM. Oh yeah i can touch my toes with my knees straight17

I had an early appointment yesterday and didn’t have time for my exercise. Instead of just writing it off - I actually WANTED to get it in and made it happen in the evening.
This is extremely new to me. I used to be quick to blow off exercise and then blame the situation and not myself.
These new habits I have been working so hard to establish are starting to become natural. 😀😀😀19 -
On Tuesday, I got my cardiologist to say, "make sure you're getting at least 2,000mg of sodium." Any day I can make a heart doc tell me to get more sodium is a win hahaha.15

Two NSVs to report:
1) I think I found a sustainable way of eating that should see me through goal, and
2) Had my first session of Iron Therapy (strength training) yesterday after a nearly two-year hiatus (though I'll need to take a few days before I give it another go... hello DOMS!). This is kind of an NSV+, as I originally intended to wait until I lost around 40 pounds before starting, but thought about it and realized that most people don't watch/judge others in the weight room... or at least watch AND judge -- I suppose some watching is inevitable to a point in a room with a bunch of mirrors.
... and I suppose I have a third one to report as well. I decided to try to figure things out and work on my physical health despite my mental health being in a not-great place. No more using that excuse to avoid at least the simpler/easier aspects of improving or at least maintaining what physical health I do have.16 -
So, I HATE underwrite bras, I'm probably wearing the wrong size, but they either 'float' on me or cut in to me. Anyway, because of that I tend to wear bralettes or sports bras. This morning on a walk, I noticed my bralette stayed in place! Usually the bottom band over my stomach bunches and rides up.15

Same. Waiting for this day.
My NSV today, 10.5” lost since I measured three weeks ago!

I can now go another notch down on my belt. One notch away from my belt being the tightest it can go. After that, I'll buy myself a nice belt instead of a cheap one off Amazon.15

The face of my cardiologist when she looked at lab results all in normal range.... even cholesterol....and I said, "you can't make me give up my 1 slice of bacon a day...."17 -

I am exactly the opposite and love underwire bras. For me, they are more supportive and provide better shape (no, I don't mean the padded 'tshirt bras' just the regular ones). Anyway, I had given up wearing them the last few several years because they no longer fit right and were extremely uncomfortable, wires cut in under my boobs or floated, etc. As I lost weight & my soft cup bras were no longer fitting I got out some underwire bras I had packed away (these were expensive bras, nearly new & I always had hope that one day I could wear them again). Not only did some of the larger sizes fit but they were very comfortable & supportive. I'm back to underwires all the time now & have even bought a few new ones, not expensive ones as I still have some more to lose.11 -
My 15th wedding anniversary was last week. I got an elliptical yesterday for my gift and I have a DB method machine coming next week that I’m super excited about.
The NSV here is that I have become a person who gets up at 7am and works out. The NSV is that no one is expecting me to use the new additions to our home gym as a coat rack because I use everything else back there every day. 💪 Just keep going.22 -
My waist is 33.8 inches, which makes my waist to height ratio roughly 0.48. That's in the upper end of healthy!18

I was wearing size 46 pants in Oct 2020. Now I'm wearing 32's. Decided to get a new pair of pants and just amazed they fit with some room to spare. Big NSV!27

A belt that had gotten way too small, and wouldn’t even meet around my middle, fit perfectly at the weekend. It’s a good job too as it held my jeans up, which I’ve only recently fit back into, but which have now become a bit too loose around the waist. I absolutely love going shopping in my wardrobe and rediscovering old favourites ❤️20

I was able to paint my toe nails! Haven't been able to bend over my belly to reach them for a while now. I was in the shower yesterday and noticed how much my "over hang" has shrunk. I still don't see it in the mirror but it's definitely smaller I felt my hipbones while lying in bed yesterday too.29

I have a bathrobe which used to look obscene as it barely covered by bum and thighs due to my wide hips and waist . Now i can wrap that same bathrobe comfortably and it reaches till above my knees18
