sundresses, I wish I had some to try on.

My summer clothes ( I live in a warm climate so its time to break out the capris..shorts and short sleeved shirts and summer dresses ) are too big....they are sz 4....sz 4 isn't big..by ANY definition...but Ive been sz 2 long enough to mean I will now have need for sz 2 for all of our seasonal wear

I went for my blood work and biometrics yesterday....I was 151 last year because the tech allowed 3 lbs for clothes...this year the tech allowed 0 for clothes ..I was 139..he looked at me and said..you look about 127...I smiled...He said you AREN"T 5'9"...he measured and Im still 5'9"!!...My weight was GREAT for my height...my BP GREAT...I screwed up the results of my glucose by having 3 c. of strong tea.. according to the supervisor...If my glucose is high..I'll have my GP do an A1C...Im so thrilled!!

I'm not sure this is the kind of victory you mean, but it feels like an accomplishment to me, so I'm going to share.

Son came home sunday evening, had been away to the city where they have a superstore where his GF goes to University. He came home with a BLACK FOREST CAKE! Yikes.

Tuesday, Hubby runs up for a few groceries and comes home with A DOZEN LOCAL BAKERY CINNAMON BUNS! O.M.G.!

Cakes about 1/4 left, and hubby had 2 c.buns the next day, there's still 10 in the bag!

Last night when I was making supper (new recipe i posted in the Main Dish kitchen thread) I had to move the c.buns out of the way--I have forgotten they were even there!

ME & MY DIET - 2 Temptation - 0

WOOOOHOOO!!! Jody!!!

Excellent about the XL. I have scads of clothes I cant wait to get back into. You're doing great! looking at your stats. Keep up the good work!

I Love this thread.. I have literally sat here and read all 14 pages!!

NSV: Down a size in my leggings ( I wear them every day to work under long dressy blouses, sweaters or short dresses)

Still working on getting back into my jeans I was wearing last summer and smaller.. but I know I can with all these post!

Made sugar cookies for my daughters class and I did not have one bit of the dough OR any cookies! I am not new to this WOE. Lost 40 pounds 10 years ago, then got pregnant with my daughter and went back to old ways. Today is day 8 for me. I am weighing every Friday so yesterday was my 1st check in. 10 pounds gone! Love this thread too. I do not post much but read lots of threads...thank you all for your insight and encouragement. It helps so much!

You guys are doing great. This is fun.

Re: Black Forest Cake & Cinnamon buns.
My kid ate the last piece of cake today. He can have it.. a strong wind would blow him away.
The cinnamon buns are still sitting on the cupboard, haven't really looked but I think hubby's got them down to about 4. He can have 'em! ...they are almost a week old, I'm def NOT tempted..

As I just restarted this WOE today, I haven't had a NSV, but I can't tell you the biggest one I've been looking forward to. Since I gained 30 lbs since I got married, I haven't been able to wear my engagement ring and wedding ring on the same finger. It's a combination of weight gain and my fingers being swollen from water weight, but I can. Not. Wait. Until I get to wear both of them on the same finger again!!!

I had to find and revive this thread. It kinda fell off the radar a little and I always liked this one.

My NSV... I FIXED THE DISHWASHER! OK - how is that an NSV? Our dishwasher as been doing a poor job on the top rack for quite some time. To get clean dishes, we either ran it twice or ran it half full and still some dishes would end up dirty and got left in for the next load. Because I can finally bend over like a normal person, I was able to see that a little bracket at the back of the dishwasher had popped out of place and the top washy spinny thingy wasn't getting a good connection to the water source. That is why the top rack was not getting as clean as it should. I just ran a load and it is working as good as new. A year ago - I would never have been able to bend over and see the problem, much less get back there to fix it. Clean dishes again... Whoo Hoo!

My jeans have been so tight and uncomfortable, that when I'm getting dressed to leave the house, I wait until the last possible moment to button and zip them. (I know that sounds sick!) Anyway when I was getting dressed this morning, I went to button them as they felt really loose, but found that they were already button and zipped and I didn't even notice.

I am usually so obsessed with the numbers on the scale that this was definitely a NSV for me!

YAY!!! That is a good one! loose clothes = major progress!!!
