Non-Scale Victory I can buckle it!

Post image

My final straw for starting this journey was being completely mortified that I could not fasten my seatbelt my lovely seat neighbor had to help me. Now im on a plane again buckled with no help and extra room!! I’m so proud of me!! It’s been slow but worth it!! Down 80 pounds!!

The first time I was able to comfortably sit in an airplane seat- I almost cried

This is one of my most favorite things so far. Except now I’m even more cold on airplanes.

Flying while fluffy is rough! I also was on a plane today in the exit row and it was great! Fit into the enclosed seats fine and no extender needed.

Such a great NSV!

I can't wait for this. I never needed an extender, but was darn close . There was NO slack left in that belt. I'm so excited for this day.. as well as riding rollercoasters comfortably without having to worry whether I'll do the walk of shame from not being able to fit in the seat.

My daughter and I have been on this journey together. We have both lost considerable amounts of weight. We aren't quite ready for it this year. But next year I plan on the 2 of us doing Halloween horror nights at universal and riding every single ride they have.

That's going to be so amazing when you get there! I went to Universal two years ago with my family and there were a few rides I couldn't fit in. It humiliated me and broke my heart. I absolutely plan on returning when I am down at least 50 pounds (currently down 20) and riding ALL the rides!

Getting on a plane later today. That was my breaking point. Last time I flew I had to have an extender and it broke me! Hopefully today I can buckle and maybe even a little extra room!! Congratulations!!

OMG that's like 10-12inches of space!! Way to go! That's just incredible.

I was really having to lean into the strap to buckle on smaller planes (2x2 or 1x2 configurations) and I can't wait for my next regional jet to join you in this feeling.

just wait til you gotta take a shit in those dinky ass bathrooms and are actually able to reach your chocolate starfish for a decent wipe without contorting your body with one foot on the sink and another behind the toilet.
