Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004well, it's official
I may not be losing pounds, but my upper body is changing radically. I tried on a blouse I purchased last month that was a tad snug across the chest (motivation, you know) and it fits. So... I measured. Things are shrinking. I guess I shouldn't be so concerned about a scale number. I am, because I know that it matters, but perhaps it really is about having my body catch up to itself. Perhaps, since I'm still exercising and maintaining plan, things will pick themselves back up when they're ready. It gave me hope. 347/260/180 (first goal) Since 8/5/02  SignatureNancy Howells (don't forget to switch it, and replace the ;) to send mail). :: I may not be losing pounds, but my upper body is changing radically.

When I get back to my weightloss journey, I will *try* to focus more on "feeling and looking" better rather than focussing on the number. I may even consider using my reference jeans as a way to monitor my success. I would LOVE to get back into the jeans I was wearing in 2001. At 87 lbs down, Nancy, you are a lowcarb success!! ~Carol Ann www.lowcarblosers.com ~ Home of the Monthly Weightloss Challenge Congratulations on your loss, Nancy. I, too, have not lost lately, but I'm not gaining and my weight seems to be redistributing. I bought some new bras when they came on sale, and I've gone down from a 42C to a 36B. I can actually look down past my boobs and tummy and see my little toes peeking through! I don't look nearly as much like Roseanne before her breast reduction surgery! Also, I've noticed my uniform collar which used to be tight on my throat is way loose now. So even though the scales are stalled, the diet seems to be progressing. I'm doing callesthenics for about 10 minutes every day. I'm too old to run or do anything you youngsters do. But I stretch and bump and bend and reach and swing around and move the old bod quite enough to get sore as hell. Feels good. > :: I may not be losing pounds, but my upper body is changing radically.

There's just something momentous about moving to a lower bra size ...

Looking forward to getting back to a "normal" size! ~Carol Ann www.lowcarblosers.com ~ Home of the Monthly Weightloss Challenge There's just something momentous about moving to a lower bra size ... ------------------------------------ That's a thrill isn't it? I got so heavy I had to buy "bra extenders", and then I outgrew them! LOL One of the best feelings I got from this WOE was being able to toss them in the trash, (for good I might add). Marty Great Nancy. Well done.

I hope that made you feel good about things. Keep it up Nancy...I'm sure that it will start again if you continue doing the right things. It is sooo motivating to be able to fit into something you couldn't wear before, isn't it? Becky P. 199/145.5/135 www.family.solidrockpl.org Way to go Nancy. Keep it up. :) Try not to be concerned about the number on the scale, you know you're making progress! I don't own a scale, decided to try LC with a goal to fit into a certain set of clothes from long ago. Hope to have even just tiny bit of your success ! > I may not be losing pounds, but my upper body is changing radically.
