I weigh less than my husband... and other WL victories!

I confess he has gained a bit in the last year, but I've lost a lot! I'm now officially one pound below him!

I can wear my engagement ring again.

I am down from a size 24 to a size 18 pants... ultimate goal is to fit comfortably in size 12.

I can walk down the hall at my office with another person (I don't have to be in front or behind them).

I can see the little bump bones in my wrists.

I can wear long johns under my size 18 pants (and boy do I need them today!)

I had to drop my Fitbit band down to the next size.

My old favorite winter coat fits.

The bullet proof vest issued to me at work is too big now. I had grown out of it, but now I've shrunk out of it... thankfully, I retire April 1, so I will just muddle through until then, but never wear another after that... most uncomfortable things created, honestly.

Old uniform shirts fit well again...even a little loosely.

Anyone else have victories?

Congratulations! We share many of the same NSV's. My goal size is a 12 too.

Some of my recent NSV's:

I was able to fit and buy a few size 14's, not totally there but the notion is exciting!

My towels wrap all the way around me... Even my hips!

I can wear heels all day, without being in pain.

(TMI warning)... I was able to trim my lady bits and actually see what I was doing!

Congratulations.

I did want to mention that with any further weight loss you really need to watch that ring. It might fit now but they easily become loose and are easy to lose.
