Weigh In | 12.6.10

December 6, 2010

My last weigh in was on 11.22. I knew this morning I would be down at least a few pounds because of the new diuretic that I’ve been taking because I’ve been monitoring my weight and fluids more often to ensure it is working properly. But I had a much better day on the scale than I had even anticipated!

Starting weight: 455
Last weigh in: 367
Today: 362
Loss this week: -5
Total lost: -93 pounds

Hooray for the 90 pound club!

And for a non-scale victory (NSV), last night I went to Macy’s after evaluating the lack of winter clothes that fit in my closet. Nothing like a high expected of 23 plus snow to get you motivated to buy some warmer clothes. It was also Friends and Family days, where everything was an additional 25% off.

I mainly focused on sweaters and cozy warm tops. I always have lots of tops and very little pants because I usually can’t find pants that fit – especially at stores like Macy’s where their largest size is a 24. For giggles, I grabbed a pair of Calvin Klein jeans just to see how close I would be to getting into them. No expectations whatsoever.

To my complete and utter shock, they fit! I then grabbed a pair of Tommy Hilfigers and they did too! And Levi’s!  I couldn’t find a size 24 in the Michael Kors pants, but if I could have, I would have tried them too. I was so happy- I started this journey in a tight size 32.  Didn’t buy any of them (was focusing my purchases on work wear), but was so excited to have a whole new range of options!

I did get some great sweaters though, including the one I’m wearing today. Cozy.

    You are doing amazing!
    i went shopping right around Thanksgiving and it was was the first time in a long time I was not disgusted in the dressing room. I only left with one sweater but i was happy with that. I am down 20 pounds since this summer. But I am still wearing my size 16 jeans. I think another 10 pounds and i will for the first time in 7 years be able to fit into a size 14. I can’t wait for that moment!
    Keep it up girl!

    Emily, that is seriously amazing. 90 pounds, that’s a pretty elite club to be in! 100 is just around the corner. :)

    Congrats! I am going through the same “I have no clothes that fit” conundrum. It’s so frustrating (of course it’s a good problem to have)! Everyday, it seems, I put on an article of clothing and realize it’s way too baggy.

    it’s amazing suddenly being able to fit into clothes again, huh? Like, having a body that all these companies are actually trying to clothe…before the internet revolution in plus size I often felt like the market simply refused to aknowledge that I existed, and that I wanted to dress my body (so frustarting!). As I have lost a little weight, moving towards a size where there are more options feels revelatory again and again.

    That sweater is SOOOOOO cute! I’m jealous you can fit the designer jeans. They never make them for tall people!

      Try Calvin Kleins! I’m 5’10, and the ones I tried on had a 33 inch inseam, and were about 6 inches too long- haha!!!
