• I am making progress! I'm not sure if my goal is 180lbs or 160lbs. If My goal is 180lbs then I'm actually already 22.3% of the way to my goal. If my goal is 160lbs then I'm 20.1% of the way to my goal. That's crazy.
• If my goal is 180lb then I still have 139.8lb to lose and if it's 160lb then I have 159.8lb to lose. It sounds like a ton but at the same time, I've lost 40.2lb in the past 3 months.

• I have officially lost 10% of my weight today. I'm 19% of the way to my goal. How many days has it been? I checked. 81 days. It has been 81 days of tracking and injections. I feel good. I think I'm doing okay. I think I need to get back to the gym now that the scale is moving more to my...

Non-Scale Victories (NSV) are the little things that you notice that make it worth it and show you that a difference is being made. It can be with how you feel, your health, old clothes fitting, etc.

• I stopped by Lane Bryant today just to see if they had any tops that I might like. They did, 4. I bought a 22/24 in all of them. Y'all. Did you know that Lane Bryant is known to run small? And I basically just went down a full size comfortably. I really thought I was still a 26/28. I picked up that size first. It was way too big. I'm so glad. I can't wait to have even more options! There were a few tops that I couldn't find in anything larger than an 18 or 20. I'm nearly there already.

  • 22 minutes treadmill (18.5min / km; slow pace)
    • I was just getting over the flu and this walk kicked my ass. It was my first time at the gym in about 4 years. Crazy.
• Thursday, March 27, 2025
  • 30 minutes treadmill (15min / km; leisurely pace)
    • I was so relieved. Seriously, after Monday I thought I was in way worse shape than I am. But "leisurely pace"? BS.

Did they notice my weight loss? Yeah, they did!

Here's when:

April 15, 2025

• K & C at work commented that I looked different. Then C asked if I had lost weight and I told her I had. K asked how much I'd lost. I told them 20lbs. They were so happy for me. It's nice when people are rooting for you.

• A client didn't recognize me today. She said I looked different and good. She was impressed.

April 27, 2025

• Dad said, "Now today I can tell you're losing weight." He was the first to notice but then he also noticed there wasn't much of a change for a while there.

Quotes from 'skinnytok' that stick with me:

• "eat small, be small / eat big, be big"
• "Just because there's a certain time on the clock doesn't mean it's time to eat."
• "Why is food the most important part of your day?"
• "Hungry to bed, hungry to rise, makes a girl a smaller size."
• "To waste, or to the waist?"
• "Being hungry isn't an emergency."
• "You are not a dog, why are you rewarding yourself with food?"
• "What you eat in private you wear in public."
• "You don’t need a cheat day, you’ve been living a cheat life!"
• "Stop choosing comfort over commitment."
• "No time to workout? Check your screen time."

Here's how my weight is going. Please note that I weigh myself first thing in the morning after peeing. For the sake of record keeping ☆ will indicate I was menstruating. On days that I took my tirzepatide 💉 will be used.

I have started a weight loss journey on Monday, March 3, 2025 at 360lb exactly. Then on Monday, March 10, 2025, I added a compound tirzepatide thanks to my doctor. I was weighing in at a whopping 355.6lb.

Why am I making these changes?

• I want to feel pretty.
  • I'm stoked to see how my face card upgrades.
• I want to find nice clothes and look good.
  • I honestly cannot wait to be able to walk into a store and not have to go to the hidden little rack in the back for the fat girls and most of that not even fitting.
• I want my health to be better than it ever has been.
• I want to move freely in / with my body.

I've decided to create some goals and rewards for myself. I'm starting this list at 339.4lb so there will not be any retroactive rewards.

🗹 330lb

• This is where I tend to give up and I am not doing that this time. I refuse to give up. This one is a big one for me. It will be 30lbs lost.
  • Reward: New Bag! (Honestly, I already ordered it and I should be below 330lb by the time it gets here.)
• It took me about a week longer to get here than I thought it would but I did it!

315lb

• I am so close to being out of the 300s. I want to reward myself with something that makes me feel good.

I love dresses. I currently wear a 26/28 and the options are...dismal and I don't want to look like I should be playing bingo with the gals at the nursing home (I'm 35). Also, why do they not have sleeves? I have fat arms, I can't just be flailing those things about.

I can't wait to be able to really shop for dresses I love. Here are my favorites:

• Vaeda Midi Dress from Baltic Born
  • I love the olive and cream colors.
• Margaux Sweater Dress from Baltic Born
  • Definitely in the cream. Black is okay but I just don't care for it here.
