My rings are getting too big. Not sure that's 100% a victory as I love to wear my rings, but yeah I'll take it

Keep the rings, and when you get to goal weight, treat yourself to get them resized! You can't do it too many times, so just wait until you're ready.

Will do! They're all fashion jewelry so it's not the end of the world if they don't fit anymore. I can always wear them on my thumbs like I did when I was a teenager5 -
Smaller clothes in my closet are starting to fit me again.22

I went to a theme park with my grandson and went on rides without worrying I wouldn't fit and suffer the embarrassment of being asked to not ride. I had such fun!! I did want to puke a little near the end but I held it together for my grandson!!!24

I kinda look like a stuffed sausage, but I fit into the smallest jeans I had in my closet. A full 8 sizes smaller than where I started the year.34

My doctor's office has a big note on my file that my BMI is in the 45-49.9 range (I actually registered just above 50 at my highest, but they don't know that.)
Well as of this morning my BMI is 44.9 and I look forward to getting that updated next time I go in
Another 30 lbs to go and I will drop into the under-40 BMI range. I expect to get there around early November.34 -
July 25: Eight years ago today, I created my MFP account and started logging food.
The next day, July 26, I posted my intro in the Community.
I've logged in every day since, and logged my food/exercise the overwhelming majority of days (but not all).
I guess the next is a scale victory: Since my initial loss from class 1 obese to a healthy weight, I've stayed in a healthy weight range. I admit there have been some mild ups and downs, but all in the same jeans size.
My formerly high cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure have been solidly in the normal/healthy range since about halfway through weight loss.
Feels like a win 😊 . . . so far, anyway. 😉42 -
Ann congratulations. That is no small achievement! I follow your posts and am learning so much from you. You’re a huge inspiration to me.7

There was an evacuation exercise today at work. When it was time to reenter the building, the queues for the elevators were terribly long, so my colleagues and I took the stairs. We climbed 17 stories and my heart rate was only around 100 at the end!32

One colleague today asked me if I had lost weight yaaay! Lol.
That comes after I'd spent 10 minutes looking at face pictures from two months ago and from today, doubting that there was any difference, wondering if what I'm doing is working (I don't weigh myself. Scared of the number I might see).
My colleague's question is encouraging and I claim it as a NSV.22 -

I agree with @Melwillbehealthy. You are an inspiration! I also have learned a lot from your posts. I hope to be able to post similar success on my 8 year anniversary! And it's a definite win!5 -
On vacation with extended family and pie and ice cream were being served tonight. I knew I had already exceeded my calorie goal and had already had multiple indulgences today. I declined the dessert and did not feel too sad about it. I was able to recognize I didn't have a strong desire to have it and be ok with making a choice not to have it without feeling deprived. Not something I would have done in the past.19

I am on and off MFP but when I come back I know you'll be here with your no nonsense common sense advice. I've lost and regained a couple of times and your long-term maintenance is an inspiration.8 -

You are an inspiration Ann ! Thank you so much for all your sound information (yours and many others, they know who they are !), it has helped me so much on my journey.6 -
I can walk without pain
I can walk up hills pretty easily🚶♀️
I can fit in ride seats 🎢
I can look at myself in the mirror 🪞28 -
I am much stronger and more flexible. Was able to vaccum and detail the inside of my car with minimal effort, and no back pain!!! Previously, I have paid huge amounts of money to have my car detailed. Saving money for new walking shoes!!!25

Tried on some old dresses in my closet today… my prom dress from 20 yrs ago, from my senior prom! actually fit me… again! Lol Ha! I couldn’t believe it… not that I’ll ever wear it again but still 😜31

It's the first time I take weight loss seriously in a long time, and my t-shirts feel a lot looser! I know it's working even if the scale doesn't move. Proves what I'm doing is working, and it makes me want to do even more!22

I hired a trainer to teach me to lift with a barbell (I've been too nervous about form to try it myself, so I've been doing dumbbell lifts for years), then I went to the gym BY MYSELF and did squats and deadlifts with a barbell and felt like I knew what I was doing and belonged. It's such a thrill--I wish I had hired a trainer years ago to get me past this hurdle!27

I put on one of my XL shirts this morning and was pleased with how it fit. It wasn’t tight. I had my picture taken with family this afternoon and I was shocked. The shirt (which I thought looked/fit good) looked like a tent on me. Wow. The picture was horrible but the realization that I had lost that much was great 😀
And now that I think of it - the fact that I was even willing to have my picture taken is a BIG NSV.31
