I was running when MO as well. At one point I had an older, trim woman say to me “good for you!”. It was a pat on the head, not on the back. To hell with that.

FIrst picture is today’s outfit. The dress is too big, so I added the belt. I think it works okay. The second picture is from shopping today at Ross. The dress was a super good deal, and I think can work for both work and for a night out.

I love this outfit! So classy.

And ordered!

Cute! And they don’t look snug in the least.

I really like the pattern on that dress, Elcee.

Congratulations and best of luck!

Okay, so I have a sports bra recommendation, and this feels like the place to put it. When I started out in the 280s, I bought myself 2 shefit sports bras, in the hopes that the adjustability would make them last longer for me as I lose. Okay, so I JUST replaced them. My old size was 4luxe, my new is just Luxe. So those 4Luxes saw me through soooo many sizes. The Velcro is now as tight as it will pull on them, and on my new one it’s as loose as it will go, but still, I can’t think of another type of sports bra that would last that long, especially for running. They are spendy, very, but due to the adjustability, totally worth it. https://shefit.com/products/ultimate-flex-sports-bra-valor?variant=20674396291126

I have been digging white and black stripes lately, too.

The first two weeks can be pretty rough. Hang in there ❤️

I love this outfit. The wrap shirt, especially.

Well done!!!

I LOVE that skirt.

My shoe size has gone down, for sure.

It’s been SO FAST! My expectations have been exceeded. My brain isn’t even close to catching up yet!

Thanks! Those are some of this year’s fosters. All 3 have found great forever homes, now. They were sweet little boogers, though.

Okay, I went conservative with my clothes today. But I went bright and sparkly with my eyeshadow, so it evens out I think. My bathroom is a WRECK. I told you guys I foster kittens, right? So, yeah, it’s chaos in there ATM.

Thank you! TBH - my personality hasn’t changed that much. I was an extrovert at 300 lbs, and still am. I was confident then, and still am. I am so much more comfortable in my skin now, though. All of the outdoor activities I love are easier. And though I was confident in who I was internally then, my self-esteem in regards to my appearance has improved tremendously, and hopefully will continue to.

Congrats and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

I love that black and white dress, orchid! The pattern and cut of your dress is super cute, shanza.

Judging by the current state of my arms, plastics will probably come into play for me. I’ll be watching your thread closely. Best of luck and excellent job on the weight loss!

I really love the cool icy blues with the deep warm grey. They play off of each other really nicely.

I love those shoes, sheribear.

Oh, THANK YOU! My personality is pretty much like a lot of my clothes: loud. 😂😂 I did costuming for short run theater for a number of years, it made me loosen up on my clothing choices in a HURRY.

Thank you! I’ve always dressed fairly bright, but I’m finding as I shrink that I’m ramping it up a few notches.
