jessamarie24 173 Posted August 21, 2012 I'm 4 weeks post op and the scale hasn't moved much this week. I was feeling a little discouraged but remembered that sometimes when the scale isn't moving, inches are being lost. So I decided to put on a pair of jeans that never fit. Even when I bought them I didn't try them on and then of course grabbed the wrong size. I couldnt even get them over my butt! I put them on this morning and they finally fit! They are even baggy in my thighs now! Definitely a great motivator and now I know I at least went down a size. Woohoo! 7 Jen in SoCal, nomorefat, worm2872 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted August 21, 2012 I love that feeling. Feels wonderful. Good for you. Clothes are better judges then the scale.< /p> 1 jessamarie24 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBdoodle 483 Posted August 21, 2012 Awesome.... Is that the best feeling or what ???? I too have times where the scale does not move for a week or so, don't get discouraged it will move again. I also bought a really pretty top which is my inspiration to get into by the end of september - that keeps me motivated, plus I spent a lot of money on the top too !!! Keep up the good work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessamarie24 173 Posted August 21, 2012 Thank you! It is an amazing feeling! I though about doing that.. I want to buy a dress and make it a goal to wear it for my birthday in October! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cottonkime 23 Posted August 22, 2012 WTG!!! Non scale victories are great in 2 ways. 1 the victory & 2 next weeks weight loss will most likely be bigger! What a great motivator! Stay Strong & Moderation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rae 3 Posted August 23, 2012 The first 2 months were the worst for me. Congrats on the jeans. I have a pair I can't wait to wear but still have a ways to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessamarie24 173 Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks ladies! I can't wait to be further out. I met with my nurse for my 1 month post op and she said the first 5 weeks are the worst and it slowly gets better! I can already tell. For me the first 3 were hell!
