My old boots finally fit! 🥳

[Heal_Wine]

Back in 2020, I saw these rain boots online and just HAD to have them! But when they arrived, my legs were too big to even pull them up... and my weight kept creeping up over the next few years. So bummed, I stashed them in the back of my closet, hoping I'd be able to wear them someday. Well, today's the day! They fit!

As someone with bigger calves, I knew exactly what you were celebrating without even reading the whole post. Congrats! Such a great feeling!

Wow, congrats! Does this mean I might be able to wear tall boots again? I never even considered it. I've lost somewhere around 65 pounds on sema.

That's great news! I have a pair in a red box, just waiting for my legs to slim down enough... I'm only about an inch or two away!

Congrats! That must feel amazing. I have a funny story about a certain brand of boots (Hunter). No matter how much I weighed, they never fit my muscular calves. I finally squeezed into a purple pair (my fave color). Got home and couldn't get them OFF. My husband had to YANK them off, and it made the loudest fart noise you've ever heard. OMG. They're now planters, lol.

Totally get that! Such a victory.

I love those boots!

Just wait until you start complaining that you have to toss out all your "wide calf" boots! It's a great problem to have. Congrats, and wear those boots everywhere!

I know exactly how that feels, Salad_Life! I also bought some snow boots last year that were too tight around my calves and the tops of my feet. Now I can slip right into them. So happy for you!

 

[Titration_Station]

So happy for you! You made that happen.

 

[HungryNoMore_24]

I'm so happy for you!

Wow! Talk about a dream come true!

 

[Jim_Now]

I totally get this. It's been ages since I've been able to wear boots.

 

[L-J-K-91]

Congratulations! Keep it up!

 

[Salad_Life]

That's amazing! I never thought about my calf size shrinking, but it's a great way to measure progress! Must feel fantastic!

 

[Heal_Wine]

It really does, Salad_Life. It's like a reminder that the meds are actually working, you know?

 

[HungryNoMore_24]

It's so motivating to hear about these victories! I started sema just a few weeks ago and I am hoping that this will be the turning point for me. So inspiring!

 

[Titration_Station]

I totally agree with you, HungryNoMore_24. It is absolutely an emotional journey. It's okay to cry with happy tears! I'm so proud of myself for taking control and getting the med that helps me be me again.

I'm down about 60 pounds since this past summer. I feel like I am half the person I used to be. It's amazing!
