Just for reference, I'm a 26 year old woman, 5'10.5". My starting weight was 290 and as of today I'm 224.
So I started doing basic CICO on Sept 10th after falling off the rails in a big way due to the pandemic and a healthy dose of situational depression and work related anxiety (nothing smothers anxiety like eating cookie dough with a spoon). When I started tracking I was avoiding wearing my jeans at all and had pretty much switched strictly to leggings and was pushing 290 on the scale. When I bought new jeans I was squeezing into a size 18 at Torrid.
Since then I've lost 66 pounds and am down to a Torrid size 12. My NSV isn't the size of my jeans though, but rather I realized today as I was running around doing some errands that it's time to hit the mall for new underwear. I realized this as I carried a printer and a shopping bag back to the car and realized that while my shorts were staying up, my underwear was doing it's best to not stay up. Big yikes. But at the same time, I'd been a bit annoyed because my weight loss had slowed down this month (totally self inflected, good weather and the patios being opened meant I had gone out several times for drinks and wasn't keeping too close an eye on things) so this is a good sign!
Not super looking forward to hitting the mall, but it feels like it's time!
