Hello Fellow 8/3'ers!
I know I'm over a week late with this update, but life is nuts here - to put it mildly.
I started out at 288 and now weigh 155. So I've lost a total of 133 pounds in 9 months! I have 15 more to lose until I hit my goal.
I used to wear a 3/4x in pants and 26/28 - 30/32 in tops. I now wear large tops (can fit into a medium, but the back fat shows 
). Bottoms are strange - I wear a size 14 in jeans comfortably even though they appear a little baggy around the crotch. As for bottoms with elastic, I have to get a medium to avoid that baggy crotch thing. A cousin gave me a pair of 12 jeans that I can wear comfortably as long as I'm wearing those control-top undies.
My eating habits vary. I go through stages of what I like to eat. A few weeks ago, I was eating homemade steak soft tacos like they were going out of style! This week, my appetite is really low (probably due to the soon arrival of Aunt Flo) and I seem to be craving fresh fruits and veggies more than anything.
I go to the gym 3 days a week (most weeks). Tuesday and Thursday I work out, then on Saturday I do the whole pool thing. I'm trying to build up the muscles in my leg for my upcoming (maybe) hip replacement. I say "maybe" because I just found out yesterday from my PCP that my hip surgeon up and retired! His office didn't even call to tell me! So, I'm hoping to stay close to the scheduled date of 6/13 with a new surgeon that I see next Wednesday.
