Y'all… 270.6lb!

The only difference I can think of that I've been making is eating more freely, and really getting a lot of protein in.

Later: Also, found out I'm getting a Christmas bonus this year (not unusual just more than expected!) and that I am getting a raise in January. How exciting! I do still feel like they hold way higher of an opnion of me than I deserve but at the same time maybe I just hold a lower opinion of myself than I should. Hm...

This is something that I am going to have to really think about. I'm not saying my value is tied to my monetary worth but if other people value me as more than I do myself, that's a problem.

I was looking at my weight loss tracker and just realized I am closer to my lowest adult weight ever (225lb) than I am to my highest adult weight ever (363lb). Like...

• 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.

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

Here's when:

• 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.

• 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.

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 with the white star representing spotting (prior to both usages, a star is simply to indicate mensturation and no differentiation between spotting or more flow). On days that I took my tirzepatide 💉 will be used and dosage noted.

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 am aiming for a more elevated casual look but I don't want to age myself. I'm trying to decide what style I want to wear.

I feel very comfortable in nice flats, well fitting leggings, and a nice top or even just a well fitting tshirt. I am a millenial after all!

I also like to wear nice jewelry and if I can find a good bag, I'll take it!

Brands recommended to me:

• Eileen Fisher
• Quince (iffy on this one)
• Universal Standard

My Goal:

• Elevated Casual
• Capsule Wardrobe
• Flexible Color Choices (my favorites right now are light olive green, navy, and white, with some black sometimes)
