Scale vs. clothes: what's going on here?!



Recommended Posts

Maybe you're on to something! It might be muscle mass that is taking over. Anybody know for sure?

Lost a pound this week, but my clothes are even looser. Go figure!

I think it's a combo of vanity sizing and wls.

For sure a 10 today is more like a 12 was back in the 90s for example.

But, I also have become very narrow in areas that were not that way the last time I was around this weight. I guess it's the rapid loss.

(fingers in ears) Lalalalalala. Can't hear you about the vanity sizing.

But seriously, I have old clothes from the 90's. And it's not the sizing. It must be the Protein. My stomach started flattening this week, and it's like I have some alien body now. Thought I'd always be shaped like the Stay-Puf Marshmallow Man. But those muscles are poking out. Who knows? Maybe someday I'll be ripped!

I have been stalled for a few weeks but I think I broke through since I upped calories a bit. I added so much physical stuff I think I was starving. And I swear my legs are longer. They seem to be longer - hey anything is possible. I am at 270 pounds in a seated leg crunch. Going for 300. That one really gets muscles moving!

I am right there with you. My clothing sizes are going down fast, which I am loving! The scale just doesn't move very fast!! I am loving the smaller sized me though!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
