I've lost 91lbs so far, basically I've lost a 5th grader it's pretty insane to think about just how much weight I've lost. Last summer I bought shorts in a size 24 (yes you did read that number correctly) and by the beginning of September they didn't really fit, my main wardrobe consisted of black yoga pants and a few stretchy skirts because that's fit me. On October 3rd it was time for a change and I made some major ones, I'm so proud of myself for that! I bet you are wondering why I am rehashing my stats with you though, seeing as I've already addressed how overweight I was in a previous post. Yesterday I did a body fat assessment test and I'm going to share the results with the world which is kinda scary plus a lot embarrassing. As you can imagine even though I have come so far when you start at over 300lbs it's a marathon not a sprint so I still have a huge challenge ahead of me which my test reflects.
I weighed in 2lbs heavier on this than I do on my scale at home so that was disappointing but I normally weigh in around 5am with no clothes on (lol every ounce counts!) and this was around 9:20am. I am most frustrated with the amount of fat I still have, I thought I was gaining more muscle so it's pretty discouraging I just need to remember that I have come so far. When I started my BMI was over 53 and now I'm at 37.9 which is amazing so I'm trying to keep the positive in my mind. Honestly I'm so glad I did not do this back in October when I first started, the numbers would have been overwhelming and demoralizing. I will redo the test in about a month so hopefully I will start tipping the scale with more muscle and less fat! I need to remember to keep pushing forward, I need to believe in myself, and most importantly I need to remember that I'm not in this alone.
