A Great Milestone

So today I found myself curious to see what the scale says. I don't schedule it specifically or anything but I try to do it once a week or less. I had weighed myself 3 or 4 days ago and had gone from 294 to 293 but sometimes during TOM (time of the month) it tends to fluctuate a lot so I just wanted to see what it said.

... and it said 288. I almost flipped my lid! I was ecstatic! Now of course I had first thought it was just being wonky, as digital scales can sometimes be for any number of reasons. So I stepped on it once again and it had said 290. So I said ok which is it, 2 pounds is a bit significant. So I stepped on it again and 288. So I said ok I'll make best out of 3 and stepped yet again, 290. Ok ONE more time we have 2 and 2. So again I stepped and there it was, 288.

I am so so so so happy! I've not seen under 300 pounds in a very long time so now to be under 290 pounds I feel so accomplished and healthy and everything. I knew this reboot I did the other day and a half reboot yesterday (sorry, forgot to post) would help a lot. I just had a 1 pound loss so now to see a 5 pound loss is just... awesome!

Now if only my clothes would fit differently... I've had a couple of pairs of pants that have gotten sooo baggy, but I have a few jeans that feel they fit about the same. Not much looser 'round the waste or thighs. I've always found cute things in the 22/24 size range and 2x shirt size range but 3x and 28 pants are more rare. I'm anticipating that size range, and below of course!

  1. This made me laugh b/c I do the same thing!! I will get on the scale, step off. Turn it and get back on again. I usually take the best one out of 3!! This is so much like me! Well congratulations on being under 300 pounds. That is an awesome feeling!! You are so right about the difference b/t the 2x and 3x range too!

    1. It's true because well you just want to double check, right? Like NO that cannot be! How did I lose this many pounds? Am I really at this number already? After so long? Lol. It is a great feeling though!

    1. Well usually when it's just any old number I just do it once and put it away but the first time being under 300 I had to do a triple take, and now being under 290 the same thing. I was so stoked!
