The Wedding Dress Fits Again!

(Sophie) #1

My dress was tailored for me from fabric that I found. I recently decided to give it a whirl, just for laughs to see if I could even zip the thing up. Lo and behold, even though I’m about 20lbs heavier than I was, it actually Zipped Up! Blew my mind.

This is great, and can you bring this up every time some one is on here complaining about a weight loss stall? Twenty pounds heavier at the same size is SO GOOD for you. I wish we could ban scales for the first year on keto (no, not really… but if there were some way to loosen the hold that # has on the mind and emotional well being of so many people…).

Congratulations, Sophie! Very cool :):grinning:

Thank you. And I agree about the hold scales have over you. I do weigh everyday, first thing and I’m used to the ups and downs. They don’t phase me anymore because I’ve been weighing daily for literally 6yrs. What has amazed me about Keto though is how the weight is coming off! I never realized how important it was to take your measurements because that is where the real difference is!

Amazing news! Congratulations! :bacon::bacon:

I’m with you about the scale. I enjoy fiddling around with it, because the weight my scale registers varies, depending on how you stand. But I notice that pants I haven’t been able to fit into in several years are now showing signs of being too loose, regardless of whatever the scale happens to be doing. I tried on a pair that I haven’t been able to wear in close to a decade–they didn’t zip up, but I got them on over my butt—which wasn’t possible, last time I tried!

Ha-ha! Cake has no power over me anymore and I’ve only been in ketosis 14 days! This WOE 18 days!

This forum is awesome! Congrats again on your NSV!

Yup! Further proof that the scale lies! Well done indeed!
