Now that you've mentioned this I realized that my back has not been aching these past few weeks either. I use to hate cooking or doing dishes since it was a pain in my ........(back)....lol Haven't noticed this issue at all since dropping over 15 lbs. Thanks for bringing it to my attention...13 -

For the longest time I dared not even hope that I could fit a size 8, I didn’t believe my bone structure would allow it, in fact there was a time when a size 12 was my ultimate goal. At the moment I am wearing size 10 and that can be hard to wrap my head around! So ordering a size small is an nsv in itself. I tried the top on the other night just for s#!ts and giggles. It actually fit! It’s not very forgiving material (zero stretch!) so it’s a little tight at the moment but I actually squeeze into a size small and it looks quite alright too
I can definitely relate. I realized I had no tops that fit except tshirts & tanks. I needed a few casual tops. As I am not yet at goal and didn't want to spend alot, I ordered online & was having a hard time decided on size. At this retailer an XL is a US12 a L is a US10, I decided on the XL because I was afraid the L would be a little snug (zero stretch also). I ended up buying 3 XL tops & 2 L (the style/print wasn't available in XL & I figured I'd be able to wear them somewhat soon anyway). Received my order and the L size tops fit just fine!! Definitely an NSV.12 -
I have been extremely tired all day for some unknown reason (potentially just being overstimulated) but I went to the gym anyway and performed really well. I surprised myself and got a ton of compliments, though my trainer was completely unsurprised because in his head I'm some kind of superwoman so for him it was another I told you so moment (but he's too kind to say that part out loud).10

Took my primary measurements a few days ago and I am a total of 22.5 inches smaller than I was when I first recorded them in February. Also my BMI has dropped by 7.4. Still in the obese range but almost half way to reaching the healthy BMI range.21

What are primary measurements? I see people mention a total number of inchds all the time but no one ever shares what they measured.
Great job though!3 -

I think probably:- Chest
- Waist
- Hips
I don't measure that often, but I measure:- Chest
- Girth at navel
- Waist (I'm never exactly sure where that is, so navel is always the same place)
- Buttocks
- Neck
- Quad
- Unflexed bicep
- Flexed bicep
You can use waist and hip to get some obesity estimates by using a waist:height ratio or a waist:hip ratio.3 -
Today is my one-year anniversary of continuous logging into MFP! While I have been on and off the site for years, this is the longest stretch of logging that I have ever done.
The results of that effort:
* I've lost 30 pounds and have been in successful maintenance for about 2 months.
* I've gone from not being able to use my elliptical for more than 20 minutes without hurting my knee to now going about 45-60 min, 4x per week (and I'm faster!).
Keep going everyone!

That's awesome! Congrats! I can only pray I have such success. I just started a week ago and have about 60 pounds to lose to get to a <=25 BMI.5 -

I measure my bust, waist, hips, thighs and biceps. Here is the breakdown for me:
Bust -5
Waist -5
Hips -6.5
Thighs -2 each
Biceps -1 each3 -
After losing 125# I can comfortably ride on the back of my husband's motorcycle. Before I felt too big to ride and scared that he could not hold the bike up when I was getting on and off. Now, he says he can't even tell I'm there. (I will add...he always said he couldn't tell I was there but now I believe him, lol. He has always supported me no matter what).26

I ordered a couple of dresses online, one for one daughter's bridal shower, one for my other daughter's baby shower. I ordered L even tho, the size chart said I should fit into XL. When they came I took them out of the package, looked at the waist and thought "there is no way I'm going to fit into these". I tried them on and they both fit like a dream. And I look darn good!36

Today I went to put on some sandals with ankle straps, and I had to use a new hole to buckle them because the old one was too big. It still amazes me to think I've lot weight in my ANKLES!! The body is a mysterious thing.22

I think that with weight loss comes the joy of our ankles & feet not swelling like before. I have dropped 19 lbs. and am enjoying the looseness of my sandals as well.10 -

I noticed that with my wrists. My watch band is so much smaller and I can easily get my fingers closed around the opposite wrist now.9 -

Yes!! Bodies are so weird.
I have noticed that on my ankles and the tops of my fee as well! Even my previously thin fingers have gotten smaller… a place I would have thought had nothing to give. My wedding ring set is a size 4 and I’m going to have to replace it or have it resized.

Speaking of wrists, I’ve got a Velcro strap on my apple watch, and when it kept snagging earlier today, realized it’s because it’s wrapped so far around my wrist there’s no room left to tighten it, so the strap end is hanging open and catching on stuff.
Hey do I get an award for longest run on sentence of the day?21 -
My Apple Watch band fits snugly on the last hole/smallest setting with the extra length of band tucked into it. My belt fits comfortably on the second to last hole, and I can squeeze into the last hole. This is the belt I bought this year because the old one was too big!10
