This week has been glorious!  Today, I finally saw 45 pounds lost!  So that makes a SV worth crowing about! I changed my flair, and also gave away 5 TRASH BAGS FULL of beautiful size 28, 26, 24, and 22 clothing.  I always had nice clothes, always dressed well...just very large nice clothes.  It was great to see them going to a home with a woman who truly could use them and love them as much as I did.

So now to the NSV part:  I have several sizes of clothing (most of us former fat people do) where I bought things on sale and hoped that eventually I would wear them.  I'm so glad I decided to try on clothes in my closet... I almost "passed over" a bunch of beautiful size 20 pants.  

I tried a pair of 18W pants on, just for the heck of it... fid dit!  If I sits, I fits!!  You bet there has been a lot of dancing going on at my house! I also decided to try wraping a bath towel around my middle.  Normally, I would just tuck it in my arms and walk about with 1/2 of me not covered...this time, it closed and there was no tummy hanging over. 

I'm actually more excited about losing 45 pounds then I though I would be.  Next week, I hope to see 50! 

Nitty gritty for those who care:  I am on a "supervised" weightloss program that is high protein, Very low fat, and carb from fruit only.

I've never lost 45 pounds before!  Over the last 20 years, I've gained and lost the same 30 pounds, hovering between 300-335.  Now, I'm in the 270's :)  Working hard and completely dedicated to a new way of living and eating.  I'm completely off of all medications including blood pressure pills and metformin.  No more metabolic syndrome, no more high blood pressure, no more pre-diabetes. 

Thanks so much for listening!
