  • Remember, it's not all about the numbers on the scale. Chances are, you're losing fat but gaining muscle, which is never a bad thing.
  • 2 years ago I bought a really nice button-up, but could never wear it because it was too small (I could get it on, but when I'd sit, the buttons would straight around the stomach). I recently tried it on, and discovered it still doesn't fit—because it's too big. I've lost too much weight, and missed my window to wear it.…

As of 10 minutes ago, I'm down to 237.5. And we're even the same height! The big difference is I started mine back in January 2017, so my weight loss…
