Decided To Stay Off The Scale

[twinsmama05 166]

Sleeved Nov 7th and as of a week or so ago down 30 lbs. this past weekend I had to buy a new pair of jeans because we were going to a theatre and my jeans were very big in the butt area! When I tried on the jeans (usually I grab a 22 or 24 size) I had to ask for a 20... Then I tried on a size 18! I walked out of that store with a smile in my face and a pair of 18 jeans! It was then I thought that my scale is not what I need to look at everyday. It's how I feel in my new jeans and the inches I have lost already. I'm not measuring myself to see how many inches I lost, I'm just going to do the best I can and enjoy my new jeans and when I go see my doc in 2 weeks I will step on the scale. I hope in January I can buy a pair of size 16's !!

This is truly and NSV! Keep it up and in a couple of weeks you will probably fit into a smaller jean! CONGRATS!

you are doing great! Like the idea of staying off scale that really helped me try once a month. It is very freeing. Just focus on your eating plan. Plan what to eat and eat what you plan and you too will be in a body you can live in

I weigh and measure once a week. If I have a week where the scale hasn't moved much, then usually I can tell in my measurements, I want to be healthy and feel good, but don't want to become a slave to the numbers, so once a week works for me.

OMG...I was sleeved on 11/6 and I am in a size 18 as well. I am so there with you, I'm not going to live my life by the scale but how I feel and what size clothes I get into! I was a strong 22/24 top and bottom. I am now a 14/16 on top and a 18 on the bottom! Yeah!

Coco41 that's great!! I went to banana republic one of my favorite stores which I have not been able to shop at for years and got some long sleeve tunic style shirts and I fit in a xl so I'm thinking the top is like 14/16. I can't buy too much but I have always been a jeans and funky sweater kind of girl with my merrells clogs or my uggs I heard many people loose a shoes size too so I'm staying away from shoe shopping

Going to treat myself to a Anthropolgy visit when I get to a 12. Love love love that store!!

When I lost weight with the lapband originally I went from a shoe size 9 to a 7 1/2

my shoe size did change was 9/12 now 8-8/12. Agree with waiting till you get to the place where you are truely comfortable in your body. I had over the years "collected" so may sizes!! now I only have my small sizes

I can completely relate. I was sleeved 10/16 and I have become a slave to the scale. In the morning and at night before bed. I havent taken my measurements, but it can see myself shrinking! I had my hubby hide the scale and I will only make an appearance on Tuesdays!
