100 Pounds Today On My Scale And Something Else Even Crazier



Recommended Posts

I had a nervous breakdown this weekend. It is so stupid, but I was deeply distraught, and I don't know what happened.

I am 5'11"

I went to get my body fat done and the woman measured me and she said you are 71 inches. I just said her height thing was wrong, and I am 70 inches. I have been 70 inches since I can remember. So I go to my grandmother's and my aunt measures me. I am 71 inches!!!!!!!!! When did this happen? I mean NOT ONE DOCTOR ever said 71 inches. I can't really recall when the last time I was actually measured.

I am not 5'10"

I am 5'11"

I am a GIANT.

And I lost 100 pounds as of TODAY!

Awesome! Congratulations!!! Fellow Amazon Queen here (71 inches). You look great! Are you at goal? What is your starting and current size? I'm just curious becuase I don't remember weighing under 200 lbs and being less than a size 16. I want to weigh 190 or 180. IDK yet.

I don't have a goal. The Doctor said 180, and I said 160, but I also did not know I was 71 inches! I am going to land where I land. I would be fine where I am, just getting into better shape. I would be happy around 160, but I don't think I would be happy under 160 or maybe even under 170. I don't know. I still think I am chubby now.

As I nurse, I can assure you they were most likely measuring correctly. As we lose wt (especially if a large amount) it can change the pressure and curvature of your spine allowing you to stand taller! :)

Try this - get a 100 pound kid and have them jump on your back and THEN get measured again. I'll betcha it's at least a half inch shorter. Our skeleton isn't all that rigid, our spinal column especially as it is separated with spinal disks that do spring back SOME when weight is reduced.

Congrats! A real side benefit.

You look incredible, congrats!! I'd rather find an extra inch tall than an inch round lmao jk. I agree with what others have said, because it seems I have seen someone else say the same thing on the forums. You have done so well, and you're beautiful!

You look wonderful, and I don't think you look heavy at all in that second picture. If you are seeing it as you say you are, you might want to look again. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
