What a great thread!

Salsa chip, I can't wait until my towels wrap/cover me completely. I have to shower at the gym before work and am always having trouble making sure I'm covered. I know I could just buy one of those huge beach towels but it's a point of pride (and I'm cheap!)

DC, I also found out that I dropped a size (well, half a size) in shoes this week! I went to Payless (BOGO!) and the 9 1/2s were too big, I had to go down to the 9s, which was great because those had a much better selection.

Great NSVs, ladies - thanks for sharing!

Mine is that I went on a 25-mile bike ride on Sunday and did not feel like I wanted to die afterwards. In fact, I got up the next morning and went to spinning class!

Also, my wedding ring now fits on my middle finger. I need to stop wearing it soon or I risk losing it!

Mine is that all of the trousers I bought for the summer are so baggy now, I will definitely NOT be wearing these next summer.

Last night, I ran on the treadmill for the first time in two years. It was only for 3 one minute increments, but I'm still pretty happy with myself.

I went to class today, even though I felt like hiding in my room.

I unpacked all my winter clothes from last year when I started on this journey...many of the ones I'd put away as being too small, which I was planning on wearing this winter...are too big!

I've given away all my 32s-30s-28s-26s-24s-22s-20s (except for one outfit in a 32 I'm keeping to take the ubiquitous both-legs-in-one photo that's de rigeur at the end of a weightloss journey, of course).

Many of the 18s/XLs are too big but I'm going to pack them away in case I'm fortunate enough to ever get pregnant...some of my 16Ws/Ls are even a bit roomy now. So I missed my window of opportunity on some of these outfits!

this week, I dug into the jeans bin because the ones I had been wearing were just too big.
I'm not wearing the jeans I bought to come to college three years ago, meaning I've lost my freshman 20. 10 more lbs. and I'll be back in the jeans I wore in high school. can't wait!

1.) Can fit into my 2XL clothing again. No need to buy new winter clothes.
2.) My workout shorts are really loose. I have to make sure to tuck my t-shirt under them and tie the draw string tight. Otherwise, there might be an impromptu full moon.
3.) Having real food back on the menu. I no longer have to rely on my protein packets as my sole source of food. I can now plan out meals/snacks. They are small portions, but it is a welcome change.

I'm comfortably wearing size 20 jeans today (I wore my size 24's a bit too long, so I jumped right over 22's).

And I went to get my hair cut today and my hairdresser went nuts with the compliments on how I look now. It was good for the ego!

Todays NSV: I walked 1.7 miles for my breakfast at I Love Bagels today

(This was only cause of the giant spider near my treadmill, but still)

I dug out all of my winter gear (as the flakes are a flyin' here today ) and everything is TOO big! I put on my winter coat and I look like a little girl wearing her mothers clothing

I have wore the same winter coat for several years. It's a ski parka with a removable liner that I bought even though it was tight because I thought for sure four or five years ago I would lose some weight. Well, that didn't happen, there were actually many times over the last few years that I would wear it, be very uncomfortable in it, and not be able to zip it. On good days, I could zip it but felt like I was wearing a straigtjacket. I put it on yesterday and not only did it fit, and zip comfortably, but I actually zipped my purse under it so it wouldn't get wet.

Today I plucked up the courage to tell this guy at work that I am interested in him. We have a date on Thursday. That is an even bigger step for me than losing 90 pounds, not gonna lie.

I got into size 18 jeans again...that was a fun trip to the thrift store. Goodness, it's been so long. Can't wait until the khaki cargo 16s I have fit again...
