None scale victories

[RoaRiRi]

I'll start...

I went to the hairdresser and enjoyed it. I didn't hate the person looking back at me in the mirror. I haven't felt like that for about 20 years.

What are your none scale victories after losing weight?

I can zip my coat up without having to suck everything in

I can walk easily without too much effort

My plantar facitis is reducing, as is my sciatic pain.

My IBS has improved massively

Amazing!

I can buy a bra from the supermarket now (it's rubbish and I won't do it again - but it's nice to know I can!)

My daughter video called me and I didnt mind the way my face looked on the screen.

Oh yes. I've been getting them for a quid from Vinted instead of £45 at Bravissimo. 34 G now rather than 36 HH

So far, I've lost 10lbs in a month - I have been feeling a bit disheartened by it because I am actually 10 stone overweight, so I was expecting the 'fast' weightloss at the beginning but it hasn't happened for me. Hoping 5mg will be better.

HOWEVER, to answer your question OP, I feel the difference of that 10lbs.
I can now cross my legs
My clothes are fitting a little better
Sex with DH - he hasn't noticed my weightloss, and suddenly during sex, he said 'oh this feels different!' so he felt there was less of me - best sex of my life that one 😂
I feel optimistic about the future for the first time.

I can go on top without a care in the world, and I can actually do it (before we both lost weight, and I increased my fitness, it was really difficult!). This pleased me ridiculously so 🤣.

I can sit on a chair and cross my legs, so much so I sat comfortably cross legged on a Ryanair flight recently.

I don’t look fat on the ring doorbell,
I can cross my legs and tuck my foot under the other leg,
im a size 12. So at 5ft 7 I don’t feel I look fat.
i can wear heels again without looking like a baby elephant teetering on pin heads. Not that I really do.
minimiser bras now work again and make me look slimmer, previously there was no disguising my bust.
I can wear nice underwear instead of big granny pants.
i can wear streamlined clothes and not look like a over stuffed pillow.
i feel comfortable In clothes that are not black or navy.
my dressing gown doesn’t just fit, it wraps around me, previously it didn’t even meet in the middle.

and rhe biggest one,,i no longer look like im nine months pregnant.

Ooh yes, forgot about that. My bra no longer hurts to wear!

Ooh yes! I can sit cross legged on the sofa

Crossing my legs! That's a good one.
Just being able to comfortably sit on the floor with my kids is brilliant.

I am a lecturer and some of our sessions are recorded. I had to watch one back today and I just though omg It's not a fat person any more.
I'm still overweight so have more to go but I don't look like a blob any more.

Also went to pilates today and while I still can't do all the moves the amount I can now move is amazing.

Also as others have said, currently sat comfortably with my legs crossed

@Gettingslimmer not looking fat on the ring doorbell is my dream!

I kept a dress I bought in 2019 and have never been able to zip up. Yesterday it zipped up! Wohoo!!

I wore a coat I bought at least 6 years ago which has never zipped up - not only did I zip it up, I drove in it done up! And yes yes yes to bras now fitting not digging in painfully.
