Besides the whoosh that I had this weekend after a slow weight loss in August, I had a very good NSV weekend.

3 months ago when I began this "new way of life", I was wearing a dangerously tight 24. This weekend I dug into my dresser and pulled out a size 20 pair of jeans (to gauge my progress), slipped them on - and they fit comfortably, not even slightly tight. I thought it was the jean itself, so I pulled out another 20 - they fit comfortably as well... and then another, and I was like "holy cow - when did that happen?" Wearing those size 20's with an XL t-shirt really helped me SEE the difference when I looked in the mirror.

Then, went out to lunch with my DH and sister, and we were shown to a booth. I got that old familiar "booth terror", but I sat and had room to spare...

Just so motivating, I had to share.

Way to go! It's nice to have such obvious results from all your hard work just sneak up on you!

That's totally awesome!!! I, too, use some of my "skinny clothes" to gauge my progress. I have 3 pairs of jeans in the next size down that I'm *just* about 10lbs away from...seeing those jeans next to my dresser motivates me!

WTG, girl! You rock!

congratulations! those are some great milestones
ETA: I just realised which subforum this was in, and I hope you don't mind that these congratulations come from someone who is not a 30-something -- they're still genuinely meant, I assure you!
