@Vonny198334 -- I think so much that surely there's no way what I fit into is ACTUALLY the size on the garment. (Which isn't helped by the fact that in another store, that same size won't fit. Either one way or the other). Someday, I'll see this new me... Someday! You're right, we will get there! @VUA21 -- I have the…

Wow! What a change! You are beautiful! Congrats! :smiley:

No one told me that I would be afraid to go into stores. Afraid that the ladies would be side-eyeing me wonder if I really belonged in that store. No one told me that clothes shopping could be just as traumatic at a smaller size as it had at larger, only being mostly in my head. I'm sure no one is paying attention to me,…

@maureenkhilde Wow! this is the most detailed and helpful description of this service I've ever seen. Thank you so much for taking the time to give it!

That is an awesome outfit! You look amazing! I saw Penn & Teller in Vegas and it was so worth it! So I leave well wishes for your outing and good luck reaching your goals. Most important: have fun! Good luck!!

At 8, I had to wear glasses because I was far-sighted. By HS, my vision had changed to nearsighted. Now, I have one extremely myopic eye and one eye that's nearly perfect with an astigmatism. I wish all the time I spent outdoors had helped my vision! Alas, my eyes seem to have drawn the genetic short straw. But I can (with…

Congrats on the small wins -- regardless of size, they are still victories and you should hold onto that. Baby steps are good. Good luck to you. :)

WOW! What an achievement! You look awesome!! You ARE beautiful!

@HDBKLM Absolutely. Truly, that feeling is pure magic.

What a difference! Great job on the changes made and good luck on the next part of your journey! You can do it!

I'm a super picky person when it comes to food -- I dislike a lot of things and while that has changed a little bit... well, the things I DO like are carby. There's no way in this beautiful life that I'm living without carbs -- but I already have to eliminate foods based on necessity (health/medical/wheresmyepipen) that…

Oh man, I know that woe -- of being the one that no one can switch with or being in the "different" section while your friends are shopping in the pretty cute section. When I dubiously held up an XXL top and hope it's the same "kind" of XXL as in the plus-size shoppe I normally shopped at. That is a GREAT NSV!! Congrats!

Congratulations!! I second the belt is awesome! GOOD JOB :smiley:

I throw together a hodgepodge of things: sometimes leftovers from the night before, sometimes a sandwich, sometimes a protein bar, sometimes a salad. I have to be very careful but my husband and I flipped our entire kitchen to contain only gluten free items except his few gluteny-poison indulgences (like his bread/bread…

@grebber1 It's a style service that delivers a box of stuff tailored to what you choose to your house. StitchFix, TrunkClub, etc. I've not used it so I don't know how it works, but looks cool.

I'mma try one of them style boxes!

What great progress!! You'll get there!! Keep up the good work!!

Ahhhhhh @jdubois5351 that's awesome! Way to go on slayin' that dragon!! Pretty soon, you'll be ready to hunt up the next one to slay. :smiley:

This. I find if I oversleep even by a little bit, I am WAY more prone to a migraine and then the weekend is gone like a candle flame in the wind.

I get migraines -- I have since I was a child (diagnosed at 12, along with crippling vertigo). When I get a headache, I don't push myself to do any exercise. I try to take care of my head as much as possible, especially since mine are vascular, getting the heart rate up is not really appealing. I live everyday life through…

*hughughug* I agree with the suggestions of trying to find someone to talk to. Take it one day at a time and try to find joy in the little things. Congratulations on your weight loss. What great progress beyond losing weight, but in reclaiming your life! I wish you all the success in your future journey.

I think this is also influenced by what part of the US someone is in. My experience where I live is 100% different from my experience when I go to where my mother lives (1400 miles apart). Here, healthy is very trendy, and I have a huge variety of healthy places to eat where calorie counts are mandated almost everywhere.…

I just recently went to Nordstrom’s after having had marginal success at Soma. The lady there not only measured me but showed me the styles that worked with my shape. I was wearing the wrong styles and when I found the right size and the right style, boy did that make a huge difference. Now, they are pricey but at the very…

Wow, 78lbs! That's awesome! You look great!

Wow! Fantastic!!

Ahhhh, congrats!! How exciting!

Awesome!! Congrats!!

You look awesome!! Congrats!

I have only 1kg before I hit the lowest I'd achieved before the health issues caused a regain. In 2kg, I'll be in new territory. In 3kg, I'll be in the next decade. Three mini goals driving me forward!

Wow! You're awesome! Congrats!
