This morning I weighed in at the lowest since the CONvergence weekend anomaly, which I don't really count because of the anomaly part. Not counting that brings me to the lowest weight I've been since I started recording around Halloween of last year, and even taking the weekly average, it's a little over 25 lbs down from Christmastime, when I at one point actually saturated my scale.
That doesn't seem like all that much, but that is coupled with body changes that I have started noticing. My man-boobs are less boob-ish, and my butt actually has some muscular definition to it. Exciting stuff, I know, but to actually visibly see and feel the progress is really important-- a lot more important than numbers on a scale.
I also have to cut a new notch in the belt. I got a leather punch specifically for that purpose a couple of months ago, and it's time again. I may also have to get new pants soon, but I'm putting that off. It's a psychological thing, I think, like somehow buying new pants is an admission of moving into a new phase in my life, and I'm not quite ready for that yet.

See all the money you'll be saving on new belts . . .
W00t!
I, on the other hand, have to go buy a larger size outfit for an event coming up in a week. Seems I've put a little weight on over the last month or two. Normally, I'd just make do with elastic waistbands until the weight came off again, but I have a wedding to go to so it's off to the store to find something wedding-ish, but hopefully not too spendy.
Kind of wishing I hdn't cleaned out my closet after the last weight loss...but kind of glad I did. There's not really any going back that way (at least, not cheaply)
I think these will likely become my "before" pants.
A-freakin'-men! I know I got motivation out of actually seing a size change rather than a scale change.
On the clothing, I rember realizing that the heavier I was, the dumpier looking my choices in clothes were.
Many congratulations to you sir!
I've seen lots of hot, sexy fat girls.
I never had the confidence to dress like them when I was heavy though. There's some joy just in knowing I look a little better that can make me pick nicer looking stuff.
