Both yesterday and today 2 coworkers of mine have complimented me on my weight loss. One guy yesterday said he’d noticed I was thinner, and that I looked great! Today, another guy was wondering why I was dressing better? I admit, I have been buying clothes left and right these past few months as I shrink out of my old fat ones. Honestly though, when I was heavier, nothing looked good on me - I just looked like a big blob. And, I didn’t want to buy expensive clothes because, well, in the back of my mind I would think I wouldn’t wear them long because I would lose the weight and fit back into my old ones.

So here I am, within 10 lbs of the weight I was when I started my job, and a lot of my old clothes are fitting again. I can’t quite get into all of my nice Express slacks yet, but maybe I’ll try them on again this weekend.

So, anyway, this guy notices I have been dressing more nicely. Suprisingly, I was a bit embarrassed to think of how I had been dressing before (jeans, t-shirt). But, I work in a lab where I tend to get inky and ruin clothes, AND being overweight… well it’s not the most conducive environment for looking your best. Luckily I have been working less and less in that damned lab, and feeling better about myself.. so things are getting much better.

And, I’m really enjoying the compliments. I’m really starting to feel beautiful again… it’s a wonderful thing.

I’m now solidly in the “normal” BMI range, woo hoo!!  And, I have to adjust my goal weight from 133 to 143 because of the lean muscle gains.  I weigh 8 lbs more at my current measurements than I did in 2004.  At 133 lbs, I would be 13% body fat, which is way too low and kind of scary (equivalent to 2-3% on a guy!!). 

So, I have 20 more lbs to go, barring any muscle losses.   Realistically, that’s about 4-6 months… cool!  I’m considering publishing a fat pic for comparison, but I think I will wait until I reach my goal before I embarrass myself with it.
