2 NSVs...yay!
I am currently 3.5 weeks post-op...down 32lbs since I started Opti...but have been in the dreaded 3 week stall...things perked up a bit yesterday for 2 reasons:
1)I was able to comfortably do up and wear a pair of size 16 jeans that I haven't worn in almost 2 years (was a 22 when I started...my butt and thighs have dropped the fastest which is the opposite of how I've always been)
2) I was at a massive fire loss in the afternoon and my structural engineer stuck his head out of the ceiling (haven't used him since February) exclaimed "wow! you look great! wanna come up and see this?" it was the first time I was ever invited up into the ceiling of one of my losses because I could never fit comfortably through the hole we cut and even yesterday I looked at it and went "no way I can get up there" but I did!
I was disappointed in the pounds coming off but the inches have come off a lot quicker :) I expressed the disappointment to my NUT and she responded with "you had to expect to be a slow loser...you're a light weight" I can handle being called a light weight...I've never been called a light weight in my life lol.
