Taking it off with Medifast | Week 8

The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves.

It’s amazing how things change after only 8 short weeks. I no longer huff and puff on the elliptical… I even enjoy it a tiny bit. The same with walking and running. I actually look forward to my strength training days, too. Feeling myself getting stronger is awesome! These are things that only I can see, of course. People have been noticing my weight loss, though, and everyone’s support is so appreciated.

MY WEIGHT

This week, I saw no change on the scale. Not even a tenth of a pound. I was feeling super bloated due to a visit from ‘Aunt Flo’ and a high-sodium Thai dinner the night before weighing in, so… while I wasn’t completely surprised, I can’t say I wasn’t disappointed.It’s times like these when I look at other ways my body is changing. Last weekend I found, among my papers, some measurements I took a few months ago scribbled on a Post-It, which I thought I had lost. I measured again, and am thrilled to say I’ve lost 23 inches of fat in the past two months! Almost half of that in my chest and hips.
I’ve been pulling out old clothes here and there, trying to find new things to wear, but I’m in this weird in between stage where I don’t really know what size I am. Size 16 is too big, but most of my 14s don’t fit yet. Somehow a pair of size 10 Lucky Brand jeans that a friend gave me do… with major muffin top, but they zip up nonetheless. It’s frustrating!I just found out about this company called Me-Ality (short for “measured reality”). It’s a service that basically scans your body for a few seconds, capturing your exact body measurements, and then gives you a shopping guide that lists all the different brands and styles that would fit your body, eliminating the guesswork and frustration associated with shopping for clothes. Sounds perfect for someone who’s lost weight! Unfortunately this service is currently only found at shopping malls in Texas, Arizona, Ilinois, Georgia, but new locations will be added in time.

  • Starting weight: 211.6 lbs
  • Current weight: 191 lbs (no change this week)
  • 20.6 lbs lost, 31 still to go!
