Last time I lost weight, I got to 186 lbs and got some clothes. Then I gained weight and reached 208. Now I'm at 195.2 (as of today).
The difference between last weight loss and this time is that I relied only on eating last time. I was on WW..and lost 17 lbs in two months. This time, I'm working on both eating and exercise. I've lost 12.8lbs so far in 3 months. Yeah, a lot slower this time, which I thought didn't make sense at first. However, what surprises me is that clothes I bought when I lost weight last time fits a lot better now. Some are even lose on me already...and I'm almost 10 lbs heavier than when I bought them.
I have to think it's the muslce working its wonders. I can feel my muscle on my arms and legs. I can actually grab the side and feel the waist, not just some bunch of rolls. (if you know what I mean)
So I know I can't just look at someone who weighs the same as I do and think I'm going to look the same because I know that will never happen.
