Exactly three and a half years to the day, after setting my goal on my then new fitbit, I weighed in at goal this morning. I am exactly 150 pounds which for my height and build is a healthy weight. At the time I had 81 pounds to go so I thought I’d get there in a year and a half. Boy was that ever optimistic. My fastest rate of weight loss has been the last one and half years, since I adopted highfat low carb and discovered “Keto” a couple of months later. That was good for 54 pounds.
At my highest of just over 270, nine years ago, I thought it would be unrealistic to ever get back here. But here I am. And at over 50. It’s never too late to get your body back.
It took me a lot longer than I wanted, but I am so glad I found patience and trusted in the process. Thanks to everyone for all of your encouragement and support over the last year plus!
A lot of my friends are saying that they can’t believe I hung to so much of my old clothing, but I am glad I did because I promised myself I’d get back into it one day and now I have kept my promise. And it feels better than buying new clothes PLUS it’s less expensive. As I have dropped slowly, every year for the past three and a half years I have gone down a size. Consequently, I pay this money for stuff I am only wearing a year, being able supplement with the old stuff means spending less money. I have tossed out the old 16s and old 14s and am now wearing the old 12s and those jeans are old 10s. I say old because of the creeping size increase over the years means that the old 12s are today’s 8s and the old 10s are today’s 6. I bet your old 4s would be today’s zeros!
