Tuesday 198.5!!!

Yesterday was my 5 month anniversary and I am down 30 lbs! I am thrilled!! I have refused to compare my loss to anyone elses, I am losing at the rate I lose at! I have consistently lost about 6 lbs a month. I have so many NSV's I cant begin to list them, but I need to...just to look back at. 30 lbs has made a HUGE difference on my body, especially from the waist up.

1. My waist is SIX inches smaller.

2. Ribcage under my bra is FIVE inches smaller....36 inches and one inch smaller than my waist!! Goodbye back fat.

3. My arm at the bicep is only 12.5 inches, !

4. From size 20W pants to size 16 and 18.....16-18 misses, not W!!!!

5. My boobs stick out farther than tummy...no longer look 5mo pregnant.

6. There is not ONE coworker, friend, family that has not noticed and commented on the weight loss (and I am still in the closet with banding)

7. First time under 200 in about 4 years.

8. My face is getting thin enough I am starting to feel really pretty again.

9. I feel 'heavy/normal' and not huge, bloated, puffy

10. My ankles never ever get edema anymore.

11. I have zero nighttime reflux anymore.

12. My DH says it is like having sex with a different woman because he can FEEl such a difference in my body.

14. My back is completely smooth. No roll above waistband or around bra.

15. Blood sugar stays very stable (thanks to no bread, lmao)

16. OFF BP medicine....was only borderline and now normal.

17. Gone from (bust,waist,hip) 48.5,43,51 to 46.5(-2),37(-6),47(-4)......big fat gut is so much more in portortion now, hell! its gone!!!...maybe that is why everyone notices I have lost weight. My shape is still big but back to being very shapely now.

I could keep going but these are the major ones....in no particular order.
