Had to take the belt in another notch this morning. I hope to be into my size 38 jeans next week. I can button and zip 'em now, but they're still kinda snug when I sit. It's tough when you're two different sizes depending upon whether you are standing or sitting.

Good work Michael, you are a weight loss machine, I wonder if you were to count from the beginning what the total number of notches would be.
I am not sure my wife would see this as a success, but I threw my wedding ring out yesterday. I was washing my hands, grabbed some paper towels to dry them, when I threw out the papertowels I threw my wedding ring out along with them, it just slipped right off. Luckily I noticed it right away and was able to retrieve it. We had the ring sized when we got engaged and have never had it resized, so I guess this means that I am now smaller than I was when we got married in '95.

So, if you figure size 60 Jeans down to size 38 that's around 22 1" notches
I suppose I should take a pic of that wrapped almost around me twice.

Last night I had some paperwork to flip through while I was looking for something. I laid them on my lap and sorted through them. Never thinking at the time that just doing that would have been impossible only 9 months ago. And nope! I didn't have a baby!!!

It's encouraging and motivating to be able to come here and see other people's successes.
I had a small success the other day, which made me feel better. Lately, I have been going up and down on the scale a lot and I was wondering if I was actually losing any. Well, I've got this pair of jeans in my closet that just three weeks ago, I couldn't even button. The other day I got them buttoned and zipped! They're still a little snug, but I got them on!

What a nice read for Small & Non-scale successes.
Just in a few days, I feel a bit of energy coming back with increasing my water intake & focusing on healthy eating.
Thanks for bringing this thread back to life.
Best wishes to all,
