So I've been working on losing weight for some time now - over the last 2 years - I've kept off like 25 lbs, which makes me happy.

Very recently, I went pants shopping for some summer stuff, and I'm down a size. I could not believe it. I tried on a pair of jeans from college and I could button, zip and sit down! This was huge as I haven't been able to do that in maybe 10 years.

My biggest NSV came on my vacation over the last 10 or so days. I was able to ride on 4 airplanes and not have to ask for a seatbelt extender. The bigger planes weren't that much of a surprise to me, but yesterday, I got on two small regional jets. In all my adult life - I've never flown on one without needing a seatbelt extender. Yesterday - got on 2 - and buckled the standard seatbelt. I was so happy I wanted to cry. Its motivated me to keep going - my body shape is changing through more exercise and better eating, even if the scale is not yet showing the numbers!

    ^^^ This! I "borrowed" a seat belt extender and kept it in my carryon because I hated the embarrassment to ask for one. I was able to stop using it months ago and it is an awesome feeling to know you no longer need it!
