Yes! I went shopping for summer clothes yesterday and I was actually able to shop in the normal sizes for tops! I’m kinda in between plus and misses for pants but found a 16W is similar to a regular 18. I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the choices available now! And yet...I still couldn’t find what I was looking for. 😂5 -

It is very wet here today. My biggest NSV is regarding my type 2 diabetes. My A1C is now in the non diabetic range. This makes me so happy. I still take insulin but my doctor feels if I keep going I will be able to come off it.8 -

This is amazing news!!! Congradulations!!1 -
Mind if I ask what NSV's are?
As for something exciting, I am graduating May 18, with my Master's.. That is what caused me to start taking this seriously. I thought about it last week and decided I wanted to lose 15 pounds before that, now 1 week in I have lost 9 already, so I think I am raising it to being 20 pounds down by graduation, so as of now I am at 260.6 and I would really like to be 250 or less by the 18th..... let's see if I can do it. I feel confident, but any prayers or encouragement would be helpful.
I am drinking 64 oz or more of water daily, working out 3 times a week, and cut carbs and sugars from my diet (not all carbs, but all that you get from bread, pasta, potatoes).
Any advise on how to do this quickly?4 -

Congratulations on getting your masters and your weight loss so far. Your plan for losing weight sounds pretty sound. Just remember slow and steady wins the race. Someone once said it’s a marathon not a sprint. Personally, right now I am losing at a rate of about 2 pounds a week. My tips are to log everything and don’t deprive yourself of any foods. I don’t really cut any foods from my diet. One thing that has helped me, is moving more. I try to walk daily. Good luck with everything!2 -

I would just give you a heads up that weightloss is not consistent, in my experience the biggest loss is in the first week you start a new diet, and when on a low carb diet a significant amount is water loss which can go back on if we start eating carbs again.
My biggest loss was the first week, since then weight loss has varied from 4lbs to 0.2lbs each week - so don’t be disheartened if you don’t keep losing weight at the same pace you have so far.
Also women tend to have fluctuations around our menstrual cycle - lots of women put on water weight the week around their period. This is temporary and will drop again within a week. But it does mean the scales move up and down, not consistently down.
If you check out last month’s weightloss spreadsheet you can have a look at what kind of weightloss people are getting and the typical fluctuations that are normal. Everyone is different, so yours might look a bit different, but I guess what I’m saying is that if you lost 9lbs in one week, next week it might be more like 4lbs, and the following week it might be 1lbs. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t hit 20lbs by 18 May, it is still all in the right direction

I’m traveling through Friday. Is it possible to log my weight from last week and I’ll log next week as normal?1

Congratulations on your masters!! That's amazing!
I often find that when I give myself a number and a deadline that I fail. Mainly because I put too much pressure on myself. I'd suggest just keep doing what you're doing (9 is amazing!) and then you wont be hard on yourself if you get a smaller number the next week. Then whatever you lose is a pleasant experience
We all believe in you!1 -
