Ditto on bloat. Fun fact, I also seem to be constipated at the moment ...

I would count this as less a petty reason than a sensible and pragmatic one, but well done either way. ETA: In case this is interpreted wrong, I didn't mean to say 'Get out, you're in the wrong thread', I meant to say I support your reasoning and don't think you should underplay it by calling it petty.

I'm with you! I have those hangers with clips for my skirts and leggings and recently noticed the same thing. Shocking to be able to stop abusing the clips by forcing them to open so wide :smile:

I'm 5'2.5" and currently around 135. I've got at 5 more pounds to go just to get to the first stop-and-reassess goal. I once had a semi-happy weight of 125, and would like to shoot for 120. I have a small frame and have been as low as 110 at my height without looking gaunt, but it's probably not realistic for me now for…

Nice work being nearly 5 pounds down! Those crab legs and shrimp sound amazing, to be fair ...

I've discovered I can engage in kinds of 'horseplay' that weren't available to me before. Yesterday I was goofily pushing my buddy around, and in response he picked me up and threw me on his back. For a moment I was terrified, thinking 'Oh no! He must be thinking to himself how heavy I am!' It later hit me that had he…

Awesome. That's the way it should be. A modest (in a previous decade 'normal') size of, as you put it, 'the good stuff'. More is not better if it's loaded with 'the bad stuff' just to make it bigger, right?

This one is inspiring to me for sure. I also can't run for anything, and also can't do a proper sit-up. I have a strong back and shoulders, and even legs to a certain extent, but zero core strength and some crap lung capacity. It's something in my inherited anatomy because my superfit dad has the same issues (he's nearly…

I love this thread. I just wanted to say that because I can't think of one to contribute (unless I've blocked it out), but what I'm learning is that not having such a story is probably a sign I'm not trying hard enough. For example, I didn't know that the cartoonish treadmill wipeouts were a real thing and always thought…

Thank you so much. And it's not just about the swapping clothes recreationally either, is it? Like there was the time when my friend's kids sprayed me with a garden hose and she tried to loan me some of her clothes while mine dried off, but ... 'Nono it's fine! It's hot out so it feels good to be wet' and 'Don't worry I…

Yesterday a friend and I hit the outlets for winter gear shopping. The friend I was shopping with is tall and slim; I'm short but getting there, as far as slimness goes (near top of normal BMI). Although I know intellectually that I've gotten down into small sizes too, I still don't always remember it emotionally or at the…

Ha I posted the exact same NSV back in April, right down to previously having the habit of automatically pulling the belt all the way out first in order not to know how I compared to the person before me. Huge congratulations; I know exactly how good that must have felt!

Success on the larger-than-mini-goal quoted above: my waist finally dipped into the 20s last week, currently sitting at 29.5" (I set that goal in January so it's been kind of a long road). Hips at 37 as of today too, which is actually ANOTHER personal milestone because back in the days before low-rise stretch jeans I used…

Add me to the list of people whose feet have shrunk. I've only gone down half a size, but that's from a 6–6.5 to a 5.5–6. It actually kind of sucks because some shoes I like seem not to be made in sizes lower than 6. Harumph.

Deleted repeat post. Don't know how that happened, sorry

This is straight-up awesome, @Vonny198334. I'm so happy for you! I've got one too, though not as good as yours: I'm about to go out in public in a light-jacket-ish thing that I'm instead about to wear as a dress. Actually I'm not sure how much sense that garment description makes because I find it sort of hard to explain…
