I ran into Walmart to get a few items, and something felt different. My pants had slid down to my knees! I looked around to make sure no one was taking my pic for one of those "People of Walmart" photos, hahaha. At least I had on dark underwear. With great pleasure I tossed those now-too-big pants into my donation pile.24

I like seeing myself in the mirror. That was not a thing for me for years! It's nice not having to avoid my own reflection anymore. I still have plenty of weight to lose, but I think I look good again and I no longer feel shame and self-hatred when I accidentally catch a glimpse of myself.19

A while back I had set myself a goal to be able to walk a mile easily. I've been steadily chipping away at this goal by walking more and more. And today I walked a mile easily! Almost didn't notice it happened, which I think is the definition of "easy" In total I walked about 12,500 steps today... a record for me since I started tracking. My knees hurt now and my legs are quite tired, so I'm not yet at a point where I can do this regularly, but I did it!25

I started logging again back on October 2nd. I've lost 14 pounds but nobody has noticed. I'm sure my husband has (he's been a little more attentive lately) but since he never mentions when the pounds go on, he won't mention it now. That's okay with me. I'm doing this for me and basically just wanted to feel better in the clothes I already have. I noticed after church yesterday that I had worn a navy pencil skirt that I've certainly worn before but--for the first time in years-- WITHOUT SPANX!! Did I look like I usually look? Yes. But could I comfortably take a big breath??? Absolultely!!24

I want to the hairdresser yesterday and noticed a couple of NSV.
1) the cape didn’t choke me, in fact I didn’t even notice it around my neck
2) my neck looked kind of slender
3) I didn’t feel the least bit self conscious as he was raising the chair. I always used to feel super heavy and like the chair would just give up any moment.22 -
As I’ve been losing weight, have had fun shopping on eBay for smaller size used clothes. I have a ways to go, so don’t want to invest much in wardrobe right now, but buying a few pieces has been fun. And a non-good reward!19

This will seem weird for an NSV, but I overdid it on sweet stuff yesterday (ordered some pre-made items from a place, by mistake they included a full-size cherry pie instead of the single-serving size I ordered, yadda yadda), and as a result slept very badly and now feel kind of gross. Talk about negative reinforcement!20

I bought new jeans and I have a muffin top!
Yes I know everyone is trying to get rid of muffin tops, but I've looked 6 months pregnant 🤰 (at 74) for so long. It's a definite improvement to see curves! Even if they are fluffy curves.26 -
Back in the gym after a week off to recover from sheer stupidity. Feeling fluffy from inflammation bloating, unlovely and incapable, since it was light everything.
Was doing assisted chin-ups, when the sweet young physical therapist who has been shadowing my trainer the last few sessions, nodded sagely (she has a tendency for this, bless her heart) and popped out with, “You’re so petite but I can see your muscles right through your clothes.”
I almost cried, so my trainer insisted “tell her your story”, and I had to share pictures.

And your story is a corker, in a good way!

New low size!! I just bought jeans in a size 12 and was so excited they fit when I tried them on in the dressing room. ☺️ get home! Take pics to send to my sisters to share in the excitement and they both said size down they are too big. I was like how could this be 🤔 I tried them on beforehand. So today, go back to try on smaller size same style and what do you know! They fit! A size 10. I’m amazed. So exciting. I never imagined I’d wear a size 10 or medium but here we are and I’ve still got ten to fifteen more pounds till goal. Wish me luck. It’s taking forever. Slow and steady wins the race 👍 in smaller jeans 😉🤣23

What an awe-inspiring read - actually both of yours (there’s a link to Ann’s in there). Thanks for sharing your stories.6 -
Recently, My husband told me that as I got out of the swimming pool he noticed how much slimmer I
Looked. He was rather shyly complimenting me. At the time I was self consciously running towards my towel to cover up.17 -
I never expected to need smaller pants. I've always wore them below my belly and never had buttocks. But I went from a 44 to a 38. I'm at the lowest weight of my entire adult life. And people at work frequently comment how much better I look.23

I am officially off the omeprazole. After changing my diet, losing weight, and changing the way I treat my migraines, my stomach is finally healed. No more gastritis. I have also gone six months without taking any NSAIDS which is a huge deal for me- I’ve been taking over the counter NSAIDS since I was 7 when the migraines started.
The pursuit of health is about so much more than weight.30 -
I completed my 10th 5km race of the season a couple weeks ago and got my time under 26 minutes.
Less than 2 years ago I was 400 pounds39 -
