@RelCanonical -- I am going to look up some videos (why didn't I ever think there would be dressing informational stuff before??) and educate myself and see if I can't get past my anxiety to do some shopping on my own. Thank you! I guess I am now on a quest to slay the great Dragondress! And I've got two months to complete…

I think this is the most informative information about how to wear a dress I've ever heard/read. Thank you. Seriously, thank you. I will try some of your tricks and see how they work. I have a short torso as most of my height is legs. I never thought about the length mattering really, though it makes sense. In May when I…

5 more pounds and I will hit 100lbs lost. Gimme, gimme!

Like everyone else has said, wear them babies out! Myself, I'm trying to gather up the courage to wear dresses. I feel like a strange imposter or something. I don't know. There's this dress I want (it's expensive) and I've told myself I'll get it for my trip this June (first time to Europe!) if I keep my eye on the prize…

Congratulations!!!
-
Yay!!! It looks awesome on you!!! Congrats!!
-
Congrats!! That is an EPIC achievement!!

@RelCanonical Your words resonate so much. I have a lot of the same similar feelings with how I think I look versus what really has changed. Every day I walk into work and as I'm coming up the walk and towards the glass double-door entry, there's one door that gives me a "plumper" vision and another door that gives me the…

What a lovely way to talk to your past self! Congrats!!

We booked our anniversary trip!! 17 years this year and we're going to Paris and London! So I want to be at least well within fluctuation below the healthy BMI line by then. I'm so close. Sooooo close. I got two months to get on my A-game with precise logging (I've been lazy lately). XD XD
-
That is awesome!! Congrats! I'm very close to waking up to a normal BMI too!
-
Congrats!! That's an awesome achievement!! I did get some two pieces when I lost 80lbs because we were right about to go to Hawaii or Mexico. But now, I've lost beyond that and none of them fit very well. This past summer I had some... moments where my bottoms decided they wanted their independence, which was no okay!!…

@Teerai I'm going to have to check this out! I almost always have to wear a long-sleeve rashguard (I burn like fresh hot cakes on a griddle in under 2 seconds flat) no matter what "suit" I have unless I go out with a few extra pounds of sunscreen. Then I feel like a french fry ready for the deep fryer! Amazon, you say?…

I don't go shopping by myself because of the whole "not belonging" feeling and it is absolutely daunting to know where to go. Honestly, my husband is the one that pushes me outside my comfort zone and will go with me, even if he sits in a chair while I browse, so I won't feel so awkward. I have a friend I can go with…

While on vacation, I was shopping with my mom and grabbed 2 small tops without trying them on (I was lazy and the store was about to be closing so I figured eh, if they didn't fit, they would eventually!). I merely eyeballed them and they fit perfectly when I modeled them for my mother and aunt. Hot diggity!
-
This. Plus, I enjoy shopping for clothes. Which is something I never thought I'd enjoy doing!
-
So, I had a problem with this. I would only get like half of my steps for the day and I couldn't figure it out. I finally found in the Health app for steps that you can set the priority of the steps that it records. Ie, my watch was recording 9k steps, but my phone was recording 3k steps (I don't walk everywhere with my…

Awesome!!

Congrats!! You look awesome!!

My goal weight falls into "enough below the overweight/normal line that I can feast on major days and fluctuations won't pop me out of 'normal' BMI" and "low enough" that I feel awesome. I'm not sure what the number will be, and I'm less worried about the number than I am 'bout whether or not my inner rubber duckie floatie…

I have found my new dragonpants. I'm more selective about the dragons to slay nowadays, because some dragons I will never slay nor should I. They are but far-off creatures on hoards in other kingdoms but mine. 20kg ago, I would get a pair of pants 2 sizes too small and be relatively sure I'd fit into them even if they…
-
Over the years, as old co-workers have left work and new co-workers have come on board (we had a big churn right around the time I started losing weight 7 years ago), I've started getting these points too. Co-workers do not believe me when I mention how close I am to 100lbs lost (sitting at ~90 rn). I have to pull out…
-
Wow! Congrats! Your story is inspiring. :smiley:
-
Wow! Amazing! Congratulations on not only weight loss but maintenance!
-
Just enjoy it and guess as accurately as you can, and return to normal the next day. One day won’t derail you! It is important to be able to enjoy life! Date nights are important! Good luck and have fun!

In the last year, I've lost 20kg...ish, down 41kg overall. It's only been recently (~December/Jan) that people at work started noticing. I attribute to the above mentioned "do I say anything" hesitation as well as the fact that I've started dressing better / for my new size. Instead of hiding behind giant sweaters and…
-
Basically what everyone else said. I generally lose all over, pretty evenly, which means no one piece gets noticeably smaller all at once. Hyper aware of the places we hate the most (for me it's my stubborn calves who seem to think every weight loss opportunity is time to say 'hold my beer' and never lose inches), it's…
-
My mother did this or knew someone who did this and long before I found MFP, I tried to do some of this. (She gave me a glossed over concept list based on a printout). I, being terrible at mindful instructions, tried to put it into practice without really understanding their purpose. Fast forward like 8 years, and while I…
-
Yep. I have this issue. I still see "bigger me". Granted, I no longer see "biggest me", but I don't see the me that just bought a new pair of pants in a size that I never would have fathomed I'd ever be. I still see the me of 20kg ago. But I take heart and have hope. As my mind has shifted in the last 7 years from seeing…

I eat out more times than I eat in. If I am choosing to do something, it is under full knowledge that either I will be going over calories that day, staying at my goal, or somewhere in between. I don't sweat it so long as my general trend is going in the right direction. I can't eat fast food much anymore (most places…
