90% of my clothes are done. Finito. Too big! I'm peering down my current jeans (16) and they're getting loose too!
Bad news - winter jacket is just one season old..and I'm swimming in it :/ barg. I'll just find a cute retro number at the thrift shop in the meantime
I think some knee high boots are in order....my calves used to be too big, now they are getting better
I walked two 15 minute miles today without breaking a sweat! Loving this new me. I bought a dress a little over a month ago, and it was pretty tight. I tried it on last night and I was swimming in it when i'm sitting and I look down, I don't see my stomach protruding past everything else. I'm no longer obese!
I wouldn't say this is a victory. . . but it's non scale!
I did some incline dumbbell rows Monday, you know how your chest is squished against the bench? Well I noticed I had this really sore lump right under my sternum, kind of freaked me out. I asked my husband to feel it, he was all "That's your xiphoid process". HA! I guess I don't have any cushoin left in that area to protect that little bone, and it pressed again my skin/muscle, and caused it to be sore. WEIRD!

LMBO! That reminds me of someone telling me "I rolled over in bed, thought it was a cat toy, but it was my hip bones! I didn't know there was bones there" (I think she did but was trying to be funny).
ANYWAY I CAN SHARE!
After several years of not being able to do much due to being obese and in pain...I got back into my kettlebell workouts! I like weights and I do cardio when I have too, but always loved kettlebells for cardio and/or strength training so I was doing the happy dance and it's been over a week now..so happy happy joy joy! I think the yoga I do (for mental and physical reasons) has really helped get me to that point and I am so happy!
For a bit of fun I tried on my boyfriends clothes this evening (he weighs a stone less than me) and is 3.5 inches taller. But they were too big! The jeans were wayyy too baggy, as was the top.
This is a NSV for me as I never thought they would fit! Yay for being able to fit in his clothes.
Not that I'd ever wear them, I looked extremely butch haha!
On my XL sized belt, I can now use the 3rd and 4th holes, when previously it'd be the 2nd and 3rd, depending on the cut of my pants! Can't wait til the next time I go and try on pants. Hopefully I can fit size 11/12s nicely!
I just bought a pair of size 10 jeans for my trip, for comfort. What's really great is, I can wear 8... it's just that they're they're tight and I want to be comfortable!
1987, I know that feeling! It was a big deal for me the first time I lost weight to be able to fit in to my husband's clothes!

Reason: Typed wait instead of weight. D'OH
I bought a pair of pants a few weeks ago, without trying them on because I was in a hurry. They turned out to be too small to wear. I could button it, but it was not at all comfortable.... Now I can wear them without any pain or discomfort
ok, so I have a few:
-my collar bone is starting to show...it was very exciting when I felt it while I was showering!
-I can feel my hipbones! Not a lot still, but they are there !
-I can wear clothes that I have in my closet as labeled as "fat clothing" and it started to fit better...
-after a few weeks of the prior NSV, the "fat" clothes don't fit as well anymore and I am ready to rummage my old skinny clothes bin (more like 4) so that i can start wearing those shirts, ect. I am still too big for the pants and dresses, I think, but I have larger hips than my upper body.
-today someone went up to me and said, you've lost a TON of weight...and I was very happy that someone noticed. I've actually had 2 people tell me, but this person really was in shock! hahaha
