My mom and sister came in to town to help celebrate my daughter's birthday, and we had a blast. :) I got to cook some yummy and healthy meals for them (orange chicken and cauliflower fried rice, black forest ham and cheese egg bites, cauliflower hash browns, and chicken sausage, and then the carb free pizza with carmalized onions, pepperoni, and banana peppers), which they loved... especially the pizza. My mom and sis each went back for seconds. I think we are for sure doing that this weekend for my daughter's other birthday celebration with my husband's family. :)
I was thinking about my daughter's birthday last year, and wanted to go find a pic for a size comparison this year. I found the perfect one, because while I've given away a TON of clothes, I still had this outfit, and was able to show you guys the size difference IN the outfit. :)
The shirt is a 3XL men's shirt, and the pants are either a 3XL or a 26/28 pants. As you can see, the arms of the shirt were super tight, and the shirt itself, I completely filled. The pants look tight in that pic, at least in the thighs and my upper legs. So... comparison photos???
So... yeah. In the shirt picture, I came to the realization that my husband (6'4", and about 280#) and I could BOTH fit into the shirt. The pants? Heh. I'm standing in ONE leg of them. So... about that. :D
My sister brought me some clothes that don't fit her right, one of which was a pair of Men's sweats, size Large. When she told me size large, I never thought I'd fit into them. :/ I figured my hips and thighs would totally prevent that...
Or not! Yup. I'm in a size men's large in sweats. Now, the fact that they're Toledo Rockets sweats hurts... I went to BGSU for college, and they're mortal enemies. Hence me wearing my Falcons shirt (GO BGSU!!!) with the Rockets sweats. But, they're free, they're comfy, and dammit, I need clothes. Just like if we ever go to Goodwill and they have something cute Colts, even though I'm a Browns fan, I won't say no to buying Colts stuff... besides, as long as the Colts aren't playing the Browns, I have no issues with them. :)
Oh! I'm sure you noticed as well that I'm wearing my hair down in most of these pictures... that's because my sister cut it for me. It really needed it. She ended up taking off about 6". :D
Finally, this morning, when I weighed myself, I have hit another weight-loss milestone. I'm 120# down since April.
So, yay me. It looks like my plateau is over for now. :)
So, I've seen a lot of questions in the weight loss groups/sites I'm in/on lately about where you measure your stats from. I look at a few when I'm measuring.
HW (Heaviest Weight) 393(back around 2009)
Starting Weight (I don't actually list this one in my stats anywhere, but it's where I'm counting from when I do my 120# down, ect.) 363 (My first supervised dietitian weight loss class in April)
SW (Surgery Weight) 278
CW (Current Weight) 243
GW (Goal Weight) 175-150 (I'm not sure what I really want to be at... I just picked a broad spectrum, and will be happy when I'm healthy)
A lot of programs I guess give you a number they want you to be at for "goal weight." My surgeon has never said a number to me, only that I had a lot of weight to lose (she was totally right on that). I still have a good amount of weight to lose to be totally healthy. But I've made a great start so far, and I'm only... holy cow... today is my 2 month Surgiversary! :) So... I'm 35# down in the two months since surgery, and 120# down since April. Awesome. :D
Today I'm seeing my endocrinologist, who has been following my thyroid issues. Hopefully, since I've lost all this weight, my thyroid issues have... gotten better. I won't say resolved, since it runs in my family, I doubt they resolved, but, we'll see. :) I'll let you know.
Have a wonderful week, readers, and stay tuned for more stuffs this week! :)
