Some of you may recall me posting some weeks back about buying a size 12 pair of jeans that crushed my insides but I wanted to buy for the future. I’m pleased to report I wore those jeans out yesterday for a day of shopping 😃

What are some of your non scale victories recently?

Woop woop, great to hear this! I tried on my winter knee boots from last year this week. I was surprised to find they were too big around the calf!! Couldn’t believe it.

That’s amazing! You must be pretty chuffed with yourself? Well done :)

Just surprised!! And... yeah I guess chuffed just... shocked, you don’t notice these things and then they creep up on you!

Not getting so out of puff climbing up the hill, even though I’m not really exercising any more than I was. And not grunting as I get up from kneeling or out of the chair😂

And having to buy a belt and today needed to tighten further😊

Wow. I love all of those. How wonderful to see it affect your physical health so observably! And to be able to see the notches go down on that belt 😃

Well done you!

They really are so motivating, and also why those jeans will be in the charity bag as soon as I’ve gone down another size and replaced them. I’m not going to be keeping the clothes that are comically too big “just in case” I regain the weight. This fat is gone for good!

Wonderful post and some great NSVs everyone 😊👍👏. Thank you for posting HWGA72

I’ve been focusing on physio & rehab since my ankle fusion in April and can now walk one mile briskly, use my exercise bike for 15 minutes continuously and my weight remains the same. I’m feeling positive about the future 😊
