  • I'm at 282lb! Y'all, this is like 78lbs down. Halfway is 90lbs. I'm 12lbs away from being at 50% of my goal. 12lbs is nothing at my weight. I'm wearing a fitted shirt today that when I got it was tight—I had to wear a cardigan with it. Today, I was looking in the mirror at work and it can move a bit around me. There's some room. Like, it fits well.
  • I'll be honest with you, all this feels like magic. Like all I have to do is make good food choices and wait it out and it's just happening.

  • I need to figure something out. Something needs to change.

Non-Scale Victories (NSV) are the little things that you notice that make it worth it and show you that a difference is being made. It can be with how you feel, your health, old clothes fitting, etc.

  • 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:

April 15, 2025

  • 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.

April 27, 2025

  • 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. On days that I took my tirzepatide 💉 will be used.

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)
