THAT is awesome!!!! :smiley: Congrats!!

Both Thanksgiving and Christmas, my plan has been to just eat. I did pretty well around Thanksgiving, but the days after Thanksgiving were more flexible than I intended. We got left with a lot of leftovers, though. For Christmas, I plan on NOT having leftovers and enjoying the day. I do tend to wear my tight pants on…

Right now, I log it, and don't stress it. I want accountability right now, so I log everything. There have been years when I only wanted to maintain and I needed a logging break, so then? I might not log it. For now, though, I am logging everything so that I know what and when to make adjustments. I don't stress (too much)…

I like data and knowledge is formed from data. I weigh myself daily -- in the morning, though recently in doing a work fitness challenge (we had to weigh in), I included weighing in at the end of the day. I found that my 'lowest' weight is at the end of the day (around ~5pm). So now, I weigh in the morning and sometimes,…

@MissCreepyLovestruck HUG!! FWIW, you look awesome and I'll say that's an amazing NSV. Keep rockin' it!

That's awesome!! Their standards ARE high! Congrats. :smiley: My goal for my next trip to Japan: be able to shop in the fancy stores in Ebisu and Hiro-o, even if I buy nothing... it's the ability more than anything else.

Thank you!! I can’t wait to try it on again when I’m closer to goal! I lived in Japan for work for a time; I know that struggle so well! Plus, still working for a Japanese company, I want to not be the biggest American at the table, so to speak. >.>

Don’t question yourself because of negative people. What matters most is YOUR opinion and how you feel. You look awesome by the way!! Congrats on achieving your goals!

Happy fit-versary!! That is awesome! Congrats!! :smiley:

Congrats!! That's awesome!! I have always wanted to cosplay too, at times. I bought a lovely kimono (full fitted, winter kimono in silk with all the pieces) in Kyoto that I'm hoping will fit me much better, too, when I reach goal (still far off XD) rather than looking awkwardly like a dressed up, lumpy sweet potato. XD XD…

^^^ this. For me to sustain anything, I had to be almost unnoticeable that I was making changes. Other than portion sizing and making a conscious effort to go out and move and do things I love (wandering through nature, photography, hiking), my life is not that different than before I lost the weight. It's taking me a…

Your boyfriend is awesome! My husband is the same way, and he's supported me through weight loss and food allergies and heavy lifting, and I am so grateful for that. Especially when reading comments about how other SOs do not support so much. I haven't yet dropped out of the Overweight category, but I'm getting close. So…

Awesome!! Congrats!! You look great!!

I just realized... I am now 4kg less than my driver's license weight. This happened without me even realizing it!!

Ahhhhhh but team cake was recalled! Duncan Hines had a salmonella issue... XD XD

My appetite poofs as soon as I get sick. I sleep a lot too. Though I do crave warm drinks so I’ll have hot chocolate as my go to sick comfort, but if the husband didn’t get me food, I probably wouldn’t eat. I do tend to prefer soups as well; anything warm, really. As a kid my mother knew when I was really sick vs “kind of…

Thank you, @motivatedmartha! They turned into more of an elite squad than an army (unlike last year where I had many turkeys to eat). Here they are, in their delicious glory: The NSV part of this (so as to not derail the thread) is that prior to 2012 and engaging in a vastly different life, them turkeys would have been…

I'm in this gym fitness partners thing at the work gym. My partner (my friend) is way more athletically inclined than I am. (That's a nice way to say my arms are like noodles and my conditioning is nowhere near an 11 min. mile). I'm seriously inspired by my partner. She's awesome and I want to bump my fitness up to that…

I have had people make mutterings at me now as I close in towards the top end of the healthy BMI. I'm still pretty far from goal, though people hem and haw when I say I've got a good chunk left to go. So I've not quite reached that point yet, but it might happen. Wtfever, #longhairdon'tcare. I'm getting to a healthy BMI…

Up 1kg. I surprisingly did not eat that much at the meal (but still ended up getting too full), but I kept going back for the cranberry bread eating 2 more slices of that until I thought I'd get sick, but it's sooooooo good... and it's still down there in the kitchen... singing its siren song of "eat me, I'm delicious."

To effect change, you need to want change. Not the desire for the end result -- but the desire to jump into the work of making changes. Motivation and a support group are nice, but never give the power over your success to others. You decide to make changes. You decide to be a success. Having those around you in a close…

^^^ This! Though I throw in my anniversary in my list too. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthday, Anniversary day... I eat whatever I want without worry. CAUSE I'MMA HAVE ME SOME YUMMIES.

Congrats!! Your smile says it all!

Congrats!!

I had a "picture that changed my life". The one that spurred me to make a change after our Christmas trip Disneyland. I felt so cute (and my husband insists I was) and then I saw the pictures afterward and was horrified. Turned around and started making changes as soon as Jan first rolled around. Never looked back. Good…

I suppose I have a few NSVs worthy enough to share. For the first time since 2013, every single pair of shorts in my closet fit -- some are too big, sure, but that's to be expected as I have a variety of sizes -- but all of the shorts I'd purchased to go on a tropical vacation in 2013 at my lowest weight fit again. It felt…

Congrats!! Good luck getting to your goal!!

Ahhhh!! Congrats! What an achievement! You look great! Good luck losing the rest!!
