So small bump wrong direction.. I’ll get back in the right direction. Dr decided I wasn’t losing weight as fast as she hoped and now has me on medication.. so let’s see if there’s gonna be a bigger change next week...2 -
Doc cleared me for exercise. I'm ready to get back to it. @beka3695 could you put me back to active? I'll weigh in Fridays like I was doing and will start this week! Question, as a captain, I will still post my weigh in comment but should I just go ahead and enter it on the spreadsheet too or should someone else do it?1

I have been on Saxenda since October and the doctor just added Contrave-we are going to regroup in the Fall and see how I did throughout the year and what the go forward plan is.1 -

I will take the hit. Just got back from our beach vacation and I’m actually down 3 pounds since Monday. The vacation was pretty much a food free-for-all. All the bad food at the beach plus one day in New Orleans. Actually proud that I only had one adult beverage the whole time.
So here’s an NSV to share. I was shopping for summer clothes to bring on the trip. Went in a store and was greeted by a sales clerk. Told her what I was looking for and as she led me to the rack, she asked me what size I needed. I told her ‘x’ and she did a double-take and said, “Oh no honey, that’s too big; you need at least a “y” if not smaller.” I tried it on, and she was right!
So here’s the weird part. I’ve had a lot of people over the past few weeks comment that it looks like I’ve lost weight. I look in the mirror and I don’t see it. I even took measurements a few weeks ago and there was very little change over my November stats. I can only think it’s because I’ve needed smaller clothes for a while and just haven’t bought much due to the pandemic. I’ll take the measurements again in a few days in case I just had some major change over the past few weeks, but I just don’t see it. And the few photos of me that were taken on the trip really don’t make me look smaller. It doesn’t help that my adult kids take after my husband and look like tall string beans next to me. Has anyone else have this mental image vs reality juxtaposition?5 -

Go ahead and post it in the thread and to the spreadsheet. I am guilty of not posting here all weeks... but if we are active, we should post here, too.2 -
I haven't been logging or weighing myself for maybe 2 weeks but I'm going to try to log tomorrow. I have a super hard time being consistent.1

I know exactly what you are talking about
When I look in the mirror in my bedroom, I seem smaller, look in the mirror in the basement and I look as big as a house - it puts one under a lot of stress.
Once my thighs feel really light, I know I am on the right track2 -

Yeah. This has happened with weight loss previously, and oddly the biggest ”tell” for me is underpants. Once they start feeling loose (and not because you’ve worn them to shreds), you have made progress. Interestingly, undies were also the first piece of clothing that told me my baby bump was starting to pop up.
Currently I struggle with this mental image vs reality issue going into the other direction: from no bump to small bump was noticeable, but I can’t really notice the bump-growing that’s happening now that it’s there. I switched to maternity undies, leggings and jeans two months ago (my bump came in early), so there’s nothing squeezing me. The only things telling me about my growing bump are my non-stretchy office clothes - I cleaned my closet about a month ago and put away everything that was getting too small at the time, but this week I had to try on three blouses before one was passable (and even that was a compromise, no way I could have gone in like that if I had any external visitors coming in). During my closet clean-up all the maternity shirts I’d bought were still huge tents, but it seems I should give them another try. Maybe some more online shopping, too...2 -

I am so good with this, I was able to walk a little this week and life stress is easing a bit. So happy with this and glad I am staying steady at this weight. Next milestone is 135, June is a great month to focus on getting there. Summer weather and more activity outside.1 -
