NSV! Yay size 12!!!!



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I've been rather down on myself because I fell off the wagon over the holidays. I didn't exercise for 10 days and didn't really watch what I ate, I grazed a lot. So I busted my tail and worked out really hard last week, watched what I ate and the scale reflected....nothing. I have remained at the same weight for about 4 weeks. This, for me, is a disaster as I was losing 10 pounds a month on average for 9 months!

So, I started the 5 day pouch test today to get back on track and jumpstart the weight loss again. Tonight I decided to try on some clothes I got on clearance for an upcoming trip in two months, and lo and behold, the dang size 12 skirt went on and zipped up and was snug, but 12? 12??? Haven't seen a 12 in oh.....about 12 years! Hope the silly thing fits in 2 months! If not, I'd rather have wasted the 9.99 than have it be too small!

Congratulations! I know it feels good to fit into a smaller size.

Congratulations! I just managed to zip up a pair of size 12 jeans,too. Now they are definitely too tight to wear in public, but I'm pretty excited. Size 12 sounds incredibly small when you used to be a 26.

Now if only we could figure out a way to discreetly display the size tag.....

Ha! you guys are so funny! Amazing how a 12 sounds so small to some and would be other people's "fat clothes"...coming from a size 24 I'd say a size 12 is damn good! We should all be proud--damn those pounds, let's talk sizes!

I know! I was a tight 26/28, now I am a 14/16. I am proud of that...heck, when I reach a 12, I will probably shout it from the rooftops. Sew extra big tags that say "size 12" in my clothes, you name it, i will do it.:thumbup:

It is kind of surreal sometimes, when folding the laundry, I will go to fold pants or even panties and wonder for a minute whose clothes they are. It is weird. They look small to me now, since I absolutely remember where I was 18 months ago.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
