Anyone else find you need a big coffee in the morning?
Today is Friday thankfully. Yesterday I had a big blunder, forgot my lunch and then came home to binge eat within my limits. Typically I don't do this, but the diet limits were followed and I managed to drop some weight anyway. I try not to do this, seriously.
Today I go dress shopping for my boyfriend's brother's wedding. I'm not in the party thankfully. But this does bring up the talk of how much physical inches I've lost. I've gone from a 1x to an M (10-12 dress size) but how significant is my now 40lbs weight loss actually been? In the end it's not the number that goes down that matters but the actual fat loss.
Bust Measurement at 198lbs: 43"
Bust Measurement at 158lbs: 38.5"
Total loss: 4.5
Waist Measurement at 198lbs: 39"
Waist Measurement at 158lbs: 33.5"
Total loss: 5.5
Hips Measurement at 198lbs: 46"
Hips Measurement at 158lbs: 41.5"
Total loss: 4.5
Thighs: didn't measure, but my method of measuring success is that my thighs no longer rub together and give me "chubrub" rash
Arms: wrists, fingers and upper arms look thinner. Fitbit fits a notch thinner on my wrist and I went down 4 ring sizes. I can wear my highschool rings again.
I still have 18lbs to go, but 40 so far gone I'm at 68% to my weight goal

158.8 lb
Lost so far: 6.2 lb.
Still to go: 18.8 lb.
Diet followed reasonably well.

Fantastic "numbers" - you should feel very proud! Your figures for your waist give me some hope as mine was the same at 198 and I'm aiming for 160. As I'm post menopause though, I don't know what I can expect.

Definitely need a big coffee in the morning. And then another...and another...and sometimes...another!

Rockiesfan: Thank you! And yes! Who doesn't love an amazing coffee in the morning?! :) Rguarino: Thanks :D Going to try! Warren: Omg, I'm going to need it, been trying on dresses for a month now with no luck because I'm short and they all make me look like a grandma because it's past my knees!! :( LOL Mistybenner: Thank you sooo much!! :) I'm so determined! tracking64: Thank you! And I think it's possible for you! You'd be surprised where the fat melts off in the end, my mother is also doing this (56 years old post menopausal as well) and her waist has gone down significantly too at the same weight drop. I'm 27 (going on 28 in August) with no children, but everyone's results are different based on genetics and age. All I can say is you got this :) And you know it! Just keep doing what you're doing!
