I think that they look great and that you should wear them and keep them. Maybe they will be too big in April or whenever you reach your new goal, then you can donate them, but for now, wear them =). Thanks for all the encouragement you always provide to me and everyone.
I hit goal today!

Interesting. I listen to a podcast called Happiness Lab and in episode 3 she talks about a bias we humans have that can make us unhappy and itās called āup referencingā which means we tend to only notice and compare ourselves to the people that are doing better than we are and not taking into account people who are not doing as well. I suppose I have been guilty of that - although I donāt really ācompareā myself. But it does seem to me that I recall more of the people reporting much quicker results than I have had which means that I have likely filtered out the stories where people are taking longer. Consequently, when I look at the reports on this page about people taking off 100 pounds in a year and it took me about 8 years to drop 100 - albeit that was because for several years I kept losing, gaining some back, losing, gaining some back, that feels incredibly slow. Then once I finally committed to true low carb and it took a year and 7 months to take off 54 that seems pretty slow too. Thatās the reason I post frequently about how long itās taking, because I want there to be a counter balance to all the seemingly miraculous weight loss stories on this page: so folks whose bodies are not going to let it go that quickly wonāt give up on themselves.

Excellent work! Your persistence is impressive, but I am more impressed that you held on to your acid wash jeans all those years! You look great and I am sure you feel even better. Well done.

AMEN. Iām 73 and itās taking forever to lose my weight. I have at times been despondent reading how fast people are losing weight. My road has been very slow going. Itās so much better knowing there are others out there who have arrived at their goal through perseverance. Great job.

Iām 43 and have only lost the few pounds I gained during my pre-keto Ben & Jerryās farewell tour. So four months in and Iām at my normal pre-keto weight. My boyfriend started four weeks ago and has lost 20. He has a lot more to lose than I do (50 compared to 15), heās a man and not perimenopausal so I forgive him. 
And @Jennibc, you really do look amazing!
