NSV of the week and probably a sign I need therapy LOL...So I haven't worn jeans in years and decided to buy a pair of size 28T jeans that were on sale just to put in my closet as a mini goal of eventually being able to walk into an actual store to buy clothing instead of ordering online. Before I hung them up, I figured, "what the heck" and tried to see how far off it would be until they might fit. They fit comfortably, not just comfortably but I've never had a pair of jeans that I didn't have to at least squeeze here or there or suck in to close. None of that! So I put them on, walked over to my husband then burst into tears for probably ten minutes! Like I said...therapy!! But I will say, I wore those jeans ALL WEEKEND LONG!
So just wanted to share that NSV because I know I am not seeing anything in the mirror, and sometimes the scale is not my friend, but I'm feeling better and have more energy than I did each yesterday before that and sometimes...it's just about that pair of jeans you haven't worn in ten years.
Have a good week everyone!5 -
I weighed myself on Feb 29th and was 308#. Today I stepped on the scale and 275.6# flashed at me! I am down 32.4# since I started..and hopefully have neutralized the pre-diabetes that was staring me in the face in jan. I go see my Doc on April 28th and hoping for great news!4

ugh! And stuff (my body) looks different, I can see shaping going on, but the scale movement is frustrating for sure!
Not giving up, I know I am slow with this process, but i just keep going!
This week is a change of menu to help me out, please I ordered a new food scale and tracking accurately is a top priority! Look at all the success on these pages, tho'! wow!3 -
Diane---wow, what a month! congrats on the jeans! I almost cried in Lane Bryant not too long ago, when I was down 2 sizes more than I thought!
Big Daddy---nice job! getting healthy is awesome!
Bev---I am feeling your pain, but you ARE losing!
And Ashley, you are rocking it!
Sherry---well done!
Sonya---you are doing great! goal or not, those are some loses to be proud of!1 -

I'll take that. Being in training at work has really thrown me off. I apparently cannot concentrate on more than one thing at a time. But the journey is still going in the right direction so I'm good to go.2 -

I ended my month a day early since we're heading out of town this morning, but I am very happy to have made my goal. Honestly, I'm just happy I'm going in the right direction, that's all that truly matters in the grand scheme of things.
As an aside, I finally had the guts to tell my husband what my weight is this week (in a roundabout way by letting him come in with me to a doctor's appt and letting him stand there while I was weighed). He knew what it was at one point about 8 years ago (heavier than now) but still doesn't know my highest weight. It does feel like a weight (ha ha) has been lifted off me by being able to talk to him about real numbers now when I want to tell him my progress or what my goals are. Thankfully, he's been so very supportive and I do appreciate that.
There are so many great successes in this thread that keep me motivated, I am wishing you all the best!2 -
@Deem114 I definitely understand the feeling! I never wanted to discuss weight or clothing sizes with my fiance before starting this journey! Mostlt because he would try to guess and it was always way less/smaller than reality and it made me feel worse to try and correct him... he is actually bigger than me but still I couldn't fess up to how bad I had gotten... I finally told him at the beginning of my journey and now it is a regular topic lol but now I get to tell him I'm shrinking! It has been very helpful to gave his support and encouragement! I am so glad to hear you are sharing your progress with your husband! He has to be so super proud of you!! I am!!1
