Naked Saturday: 293.2 (-61.4)
Celebrating: My birthday today! (I was hoping to maintain this week, since it’s my birthday and I’m allowing for some celebrations. Also — I had a very late, sodium-heavy meal last night, so I’m not too ruffled about the slight gain. Stay tuned for next week! Shoot, I might lose 6 ounces of internal organ alone!)
Grateful for: my mom’s birthday gift — that she was willing to take time out of a business trip to come to my apartment and help me tailor and alter my 11 pairs of suits and work pants. I have invested in some nice business clothes over the years — and all of my size 28 trousers are falling off my hips after losing over 60 pounds. The average amount that has been removed from the waistband of these pants, so far, is 5.5″. Someday, I’ll actually buy new clothes, but I’m grateful to her for buying me some time and saving me some cash.
Starting weight: 354.6 pounds
Last week: 292.8
This week: 293.2
Change this week: +0.4
Total change: -61.4
Next milestone: 65 pounds gone
This week’s mantra: Celebrate yourself.

Hello Darlin’
Happy Birthday!
I gained a bit this week too. We could sweat those little gains off though, pay them no mind!
I’m a thrift store shopper. I just got two new pairs of Levis for $5 total! You should check them out, once the ones you just altered get too loose.

Happy Birthday!
I so wish I could sew! My husband bought me a really nice sewing machine because he thought I’d be able to make things for him. Ha! I’m lucky I didn’t sew my clothes to the table.
