Hit my first 25 lbs down today!

Stepped on the scale this morning and finally saw 25 lbs gone since I started. Non-scale win: my rings fit again. Just wanted to share with people who get it.

25 down with the rings back is a huge one. I had the same thing happen and it stuck with me more than the scale numbers did -- now at 71 gone and my watch needed two new holes in the band. Milestones like this are exactly why I check this board.

Congrats on the 25! I had the same ring moment around 30 lbs down on my own journey, had to get mine resized. Feels good to see people from Louisville way posting wins too.

Nice work hitting that 25 mark, and the rings coming back is the best kind of bonus. I hit a similar milestone around the time my watch band needed a new notch -- down 37 now and it still catches me off guard some mornings. Keep it going!

Rings fitting again is such a good moment, congrats on the 25. I remember when my wedding band went from tight to actually loose around month four on Wegovy -- weirdly emotional for something so small. Keep the wins coming.

Congrats on the 25, that's a real milestone. I'm a few weeks behind you at 22 down and my rings are already getting loose, so knowing they'll actually fit again soon is motivating. These little physical reminders hit harder than the scale ever does.

Congrats, that rings moment really does stay with you. Mine went back on around the same point and now at 49 down they're actually loose enough that I've stopped wearing them some days. Keep enjoying these little wins.

Nice work hitting 25, and the rings thing is real -- mine went back on around that point too and now at 52 down I had to get them resized. Feels good to have proof you can actually feel instead of just a number.

#11

Congrats on 25, that rings win hits different. I'm about 32 down myself and remember when mine started sliding back on -- you've got more of those surprise moments coming.

#13

25 down is huge, and the rings thing got me too when mine stopped leaving dents in my fingers. I'm only a couple pounds in so far but seeing posts like this keeps me patient with the slow start.

#14

25 down is a real milestone, and the rings thing is such a sneak attack of joy. I'm 53 lbs in now and just hit the point where my wedding band needs resizing down, never thought that'd be a problem I'd be happy about. Keep going, more of these moments are stacked up ahead of you.

#15

25 down is a great marker, and congrats on the rings coming back. I remember hitting that point around 30 lbs in and suddenly my watch band was two notches too big -- those little daily reminders kept me going more than the scale did. More of them are coming for you.

#16

25 gone is a big deal, and I love that the rings came back -- same thing happened to me around 30 lbs down and it felt more real than any number on the scale. Sitting at 37 lbs myself now and these little moments are honestly what keep me rolling. Congrats!

#17

25 down is awesome, and the ring thing got me too -- mine went back on around 20 lbs gone and I kept catching myself spinning it like an idiot all day. Congrats, here's to the next batch of NSVs.

#18

25 down is huge, and the rings fitting again is such a satisfying moment. I'm only 13 lbs in so far but my pants already feel looser, so I can only imagine how good that felt. Grats, keep them coming.

#19

Congrats on 25! My rings stopped sliding off around a similar point and it still feels like a win every time I notice them now. Those little markers add up faster than you expect once you're past this stage.

#20

Congrats on 25! Rings fitting again was my favorite milestone too, and I still get a little kick seeing mine sit right where they used to. If you're like me, the next 25 comes quicker than the first.
