I measure myself once a month, on the 25th. My first set of measurements was taken on Feb. 25th ... since then, I have lost 35.25 inches!
I've lost 15.75 inches this past month!
hun....that is wonderful!!! i bet if you put a picture of you at 320 and a picture of you at 276...you'd see it. I was the same way. everyone at work keeps telling me they can see the weight i've lost...and occassionally i could see it too but not very often. although my clothes are getting looser i still couldn't "see" it. until i took a picture and developed it from my first date i've had in 7 years!!!! anyways...i put that picture up to a picture from last year....and OMG!!! i could see a total difference in my face and my waist. i still have a large chest...but i could see a difference in my abs. So, give that a try. i'll bet you will see the difference then too.
and congrats on the number of inches lost. i don't even know how many total i've lost. i didn't take accurate measurements when i started.
That is great! I finally took my measurements last night, and well I am disappointed, I think I would have freaked if I would have taken them before I had lost the weight I have lost. I see glimpses of my loss. but I am still wearing the same clothes I was before, they are just a little looser.
I am sure you will just look in the mirror some morning and say "where did you come from?"
Wow I think that is really great! I bet alot more than you think has noticed a differfence!
I know I tend to be harder on myself so I don't notice things about me as much as other people do.
Congratulations on that accomplishment!!! Very Impressive!
40 pounds ago...you sound like me. although i can fit into some of my 14's again...i too am still wearing my 16's. they are definately baggier on me...but i'm not going out to buy new clothes just yet. i'll wait until later this summer when i really need some summer clothes anyways and when i can definately retire the size 16 pants. i want to be very comfortable in 14's before i go trying on 14's and buying many. which i won't buy too many because i will be looking to get into 12's soon after.
Well I might have to actually get pictures taken, at the end of my first week, I took pictures of myself in the bathroom mirror with my cell phone and then i did it again a week later. and of course I saw no change but they were awful pictures and I kinda grossed myself out. I carry all my wieght in my hips and stomach, I had the baby pouch before I even had my first baby. now 3 kids later, ick is all I can say.
I have a booth at almost all craft shows and flea markets in my area and the bird house ladies who are almost always there, noticed my wieght loss, but everyone else sees me to often I think. My husband noticed my new formed hind end but not much more.
My biggest excitement this week was going to the dr. office and stepping on their scale and getting to brag to the dr. that I have lost 8 pounds in the last few weeks. she was very proud of me.
I can't wait to fit into a size 12 and wear 14 for comfort, when I do that I am going to burn the 16s at the campground! haha!
