I made my first weight goal! I'm now under 300 - today I was 297.7. So exciting.
I met my first goal today, next goal is 280. And I think next goal after that is 268 (which is half of the weight I want to loose).
I'm so excited :)

Expect it to take you a bloody DECADE to stop saying/writing/tapping the 3 key first when recording your weight. I still do it and my under 300 day was 50 pounds ago!
And I'm sharing a goal day with you. I got on the scale this morning, and the weight I saw put me at 39.9 BMI! Which is flipping astounding me... and when I went to put the weight into the BMI thingie to double check? I put 346.9. And it was all... OVER 50 BMI and I flailed a bit and then realized what I'd done. Erase erase erase... 246.9... YAY!
No idea when I'll be out of the plus sized clothes. Are you referring sizes over 12? Or like... sizes that are larger than you find in most department stores? What size are we aiming at.
I can say at ~350 I was in pants that were a 34 and a bit big because 32 were a bit snug. And now I'm wearing size 20 and 22 jeans/pants-- depending on who made them. And the amount of weight I have to lose to drop another size is decreasing a lot. It took forever for the size 32/34's not to fit, but only about 6 weeks for the 22s to get big on me.
Program Start Weight 346 | Surgery Weight 282 | CW 217 | 5'-6.3"
High Weight 376, about a year before program. I gave up diet pop(and all pop), dropped 30 pounds without trying, and kept it off. Now convinced Carbonated Beverages. Are. Evil.
DISCLAIMER: My posts often have weird typos... Because I use a tablet or Kindle to access the forums despite how much I suck at tablet typing. Apologies!
Yeah for milestones! Great job, keep it up.
.on sizes I meant - not avenue or lane Bryant. Normal sizes in normal stores, steal my husbands jeans sizes! I've been wearing plus sizes for so long. It's a motivator for me to work towards normal sizes and plus sizes in normal stores both.
I'm in a 28 right now but I tried on a 24 and it fit. Exciting progression.
