    Default Where does the fat go?

    Hello,
    The most amazing thing, I weigh in yesterday at 270, just for the heck of it I weigh in today and im at 264. Where did it go?

    Had my surgery Dec 31, 2012. Lost over 50/lbs so far. Goal weight is 185.
    See I have a problem, I have nothing to wear. My Clothes are "TO BIG".

    Good for you! There's a new landlord in the building who only accepts muscle, so the fat's gotta pack up go, lol. I think this is a perfect time to walk into a nice thrift shop and have at it. At least until you hit your goal weight. =)

    Congratulations! This is when you start to "borrow" clothes from thrift stores. You buy them, wear them a month and redonate and buy more

    Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

    Congratulations. It is a nice problem to have. I know that men don't inherit the shopping gene like women. But go buy some clothes before you embarrass yourself with them falling off. You are doing so well that maybe you should invest in a good set of suspenders because you wont be able to keep buying smaller sizes fast enough. Best wishes for your continued success.



    Highest weight 440 lbs. lowest weight 9.5 lbs at birth
    Date of surgery weight 340
    12 week checkup 301 BMI <50 yeah!
    Weight on birthday 3/24/48 Goal 285 would be nice.
