Unexpected bonus!

On Thursday, June 11th, I was at my morning client's house, when I discovered an unfixable hole in my uniform top.  I came home and threw it away, figuring I'd have to buy a new top, when I opened the closet door, and saw a uniform top that I'd been saving for years, which was always too tight for me when I'd tried it on in the past.  I tried it on, and lo and behold, it fit perfectly now!  Apparently, along with slowly losing weight, I'd also lost some inches, too.

Now I won't have to buy a new top after all, and this tells me that I'm getting smaller as well as lighter.  Up to this time, I could never tell if I was getting smaller or not, since I wear stretch pants all the time and loose tops.  I felt overjoyed, to say the least!  Thought I'd share this.

Also, I reported gaining 2-1/2 pounds on weighing myself on Sunday, May 31st, but when I weighed myself the following Friday, June 5th, I found I had lost 1-1/2 pounds of that weight already, and even though I was on vacation at the time (June 5th is our anniversary, by the way).  By the time I weigh myself on July 1st, I'll probably have lost the rest of the gained weight plus some more, probably bringing me down to the 250s.  On June 5th, I weighed 262.5.  If I lose the last pound plus 1-1/2 more, I'll be at 259!  So far, I've overeaten some at lunch twice, but never binged.  Wish me luck on this, too!

 Good Luck and Congratulations on the "new" shirt!! what a wonderful thing to help keep you motivated! 250's here you come! 

 That's wonderful news and what motivation to keep up the good work.

It looks like Michelle, you and I are all around the same weight - I'm looking forward to getting below 260's too. Lets work hard so we all accomplish this mini-goal.
