Morning weekly weighers!

Well, it finally happened! Spring is here! But I realized, in my rush for warmer weather, I forgot the fact that I have practically zero spring/summer outfits for work, and zero casual summer wear! Yikes!

i had another good losing week. I'm zeroing in on my goal of 232 (lowest adult weight plus clinic goal)! Insane. My next goal is 228, which is 150 lbs down. Then...under 200??? Whaaa? I might have to come up with something in between to break it up a bit though..

Stats:

HW: 378

LW: 239

TW: 235

have a great week everyone!

Spring is here too! Very exciting. Short skirts ALL WEEK!!

My weight today was a big WTF. Why? Because I ate salty popcorn on Saturday and wallowed in grief yesterday with nachos and chips in memory of my dad. (It was the one year anniversary of his death.) I put myself into a carb coma yesterday. I knew, for sure, my weight was going to be up today. Like pounds of weight up. I almost skipped weighing myself since I didn't want to see that.

HW: 319
LW: 163.1
TW: 163.4 (o_O)

Next goal: 159.5, half the weight I used to be.

And it's EIGHT WEEKS UNTIL PLASTICS!!!!

Sorry to hear you had a rough day Gwen. Anniversaries, especially the first ones, can be really hard. I lost my dad to cancer as well so I understand the emotions and I'm glad to hear that the scale was kind to you.

8 weeks!! So exciting!!

Thankfully I felt fine yesterday, aside from some stomach distress!

Morning guys!

I had a similar summer clothing realization and spent a bit of time this weekend at the thrift store where I found a few things. Being unsure of changing sizes and fit meant I tried on A LOT of stuff... too much? It's an adjustment to look for things that are more fitted and there's a whole new learning curve on how to dress my nowhere near "off the rack" body.

I saw my ex MIL yesterday and she commented that it was amazing that I had reached my goal already.... ummm, huh?? Early on I told her I would love to get into the 100's and she thought I had reached it. Nope, but it was nice to hear that I look like I'm getting close!

Decent scale number this week, passed my 150lbs lost mark by one pound and I'm inching closer to my 220 low weight goal so it's exciting times. I'm in a similar position with having a break between goals but haven't thought of anything to add beyond getting into the single digits in the 200's. Next goal is breaking into the 220's followed by reaching (and then passing) my 220 low weight.

HW- 386

LW- 239.1

TW- 235

Have a great week guys!

You're so right about not having an off the rack body. I almost impulse purchased a jean jacket online, then realized I literally had no idea what size to order! Zero.

im finding people's reaction to my loss getting interesting. I've been open about surgery, but a lot of people obviously don't know. So I've had hushed questions about wanting to compliment me, but wanted to be sure it wasn't Ill health causing it. My grandmother is over the moon, she's nearing 90, and lost nearly 150 pounds in the 80s and maintains it. She's hilarious. She keeps staring at my belly saying keep it up hahahaha my local butcher said you've lost a lot of weight eh? I told him it's the good meat I buy there hahah

but I haven't had anyone tell me I should stop yet.

It's so hard with clothes right now because you can't even trust your own eyes. Holding things up... pointless... sizes...pointless...

We're both getting close to being as small as anyone in our lives has ever seen us and not because we lost 40 or so pounds so it's a lot for others to process too.

My sister manages the Recreation department in a very high end retirement home and part of her job is taking the residents on bus trips to go shopping, to plays, fancy dinners etc and the odd time I will catch up with her if she has time to kill waiting for them and in doing so I've been seeing some of the same people of and on over the past few years. None of them have said anything directly to me but a few have asked her if I'm sick. I tried not to take that too personally lol but as she said that is unfortunately just the first thing they think of at their ages.

And like you I'm now meeting people for the first time who never knew me before and peoples reactions are just different when you're an acceptable level of fat.

I used to HATE trying clothes on. I'd rather just buy something untried and return it if it didn't fit. Now? I'll try on a billion things! What a weird change.

And I get you on the learning how to dress your body. This is one of the reasons I switched to skirts because trying to find jeans that fit correctly was impossible.
