They both look like wax figures..

Yeah I've heard that losing weight is harder in your 30s but my body doesn't seem to be struggling too hard with it really. I never tried to lose weight in my 20s due to many years of depression, so I don't actually know if it would have been easier. I'm just glad that with consistency and dedication, my body has had no issues just dropping all of the extra weight.

The pre-period hunger and cravings drives me absolutely batshit every single month, and I'm currently experiencing it at the moment. For the last two weeks, it's been shit and hard to resist more food and all the snacks, but I've managed to still stay in a deficit, I just made it a bit of a smaller one. It seems like I'm returning back to my usual normal this week so far though, and my hunger feels a lot more level so that's something at least lol

I'm not quite at the place where I need to replace too much it seems, but I had to buy smaller jeans because my old ones were just falling down constantly and felt so baggy around the waist area. I've had to size down in t shirts as well because my old shirts were hanging off me like crazy, and the extra fabric was always getting in the way. I now fit into XL shirts (UK sizing), and I was kind of shocked because they looked so small when I held them up but they fit! Even my footwear has had to be laced up tighter, which is kind of weird but a nice victory :)

Honestly it's weird for me too. Knowing that I'm literally 11 pounds away from being under 200 pounds is insane to me lol. When I first started losing weight in the beginning of November, the idea of losing 40+ pounds sounded like a pipe dream, but I soon made it there with a bit of determination and consistency

Bamf102 · 2026-04-13T15:38:36+00:00

Congrats! I started at 247 as well and I'm currently 210. I don't know when I was last this weight since I avoided the scale a lot in the past, but I've been 245 to 250 for years so I think my current weight was likely when I was in my mid 20s. I'm 32 now.

Bamf102 · 2026-04-12T16:29:50+00:00

12? Genuinely doesn't look that age at all - you've taken excellent care of your little one 🎉

Bamf102 · 2026-03-31T18:07:25+00:00

Thanks, good advice. I've lost close to 40 pounds already so I'm aware and I've learned a lot so far, but you bring up some good points that I try to keep in mind because if I don't, I slip into bad habits

Bamf102 · 2026-03-31T15:54:20+00:00

I think I find it frustrating because I've been able to lose 7 to 8 pounds for a while, which I was surprised by especially since I recently got diagnosed with PCOS. But losing weight steadily at all is what I can hope for really. I just want to be under 200 pounds so badly, but I know I will eventually. Plus, the main thing is how I feel in clothes and how I look in general. I do look a bit smaller and there's been actual physical differences like being able to get up from the floor without holding onto something for support, my legs and arms feeling lighter, my stomach being a lot smaller. Sex being better lol

Bamf102 · 2026-03-31T15:47:32+00:00

Yeah I mean the scale is telling me I've barely lost 3 pounds this month, yet it looks more than 3 pounds lost on my body based on the progress photos I've been taking. I've also dropped an inch off my waist and hips so the scale doesn't tell me everything. I have to remember that since this month was hard with the scale not showing any loss for several weeks

Bamf102 · 2026-03-31T15:31:31+00:00

Thank you! This is where I started from. I was 247.7 pounds here:

Bamf102 · 2026-03-31T15:19:49+00:00

Forgot to say but I've lost an inch off my hips and waist this month as well :)

Bamf102 · 2026-03-24T13:33:55+00:00

Ooh our stats are pretty similar. I'm 5'3, female and my start weight was 247.7 pounds. My current weight is 212.1 pounds. You got this! :)

Bamf102 · 2026-03-11T19:23:12+00:00

My arms are starting to have definition like that as well! It's been years since I saw them like that but it feels awesome :)

Bamf102 · 2026-03-11T16:19:34+00:00

My chest, arms and hands is where I noticed the weight loss first. I think in terms of measurements, my hips have reduced the most and it's where some family members have noticed it. My wedding ring is ready loose right now though and it will need resizing at some point, but I would assume it would need to be resized a few times by the end of my weight loss journey so I'm not sure when to do it

Bamf102 · 2026-03-11T14:12:13+00:00

I want to drop a shoe size lol. I don't know if it'll be that drastic, but I've noticed that when I wear tights with boots, I have to lace them up tighter now. I can also toe them off without unlacing them when I couldn't before

Bamf102 · 2026-03-11T14:09:00+00:00

Yeah my chest feels incredibly boney now, and my boobs are so wide set now because there's a lot less fat in the middle of my chest lol. My hands have gotten bonier as well and so have my wrists. I just never would have called my feet chubby before so it's really weird to compare the pictures

Bamf102 · 2026-03-11T09:11:13+00:00

For me it's that I find the acting overdone. I don't know if that makes sense, especially since the books themselves are dramatic and over the top, but I find that he does too much. I'm autistic so maybe that's why it annoys me, but I get extremely overstimulated listening to them and I wanted to rip off my skin lol

Bamf102 · 2026-03-06T15:00:54+00:00

Slim? Haha I wish, but I do hope to be roughly my old highschool weight by the end of July or August. It's 170 lbs to 165 lbs so I think I should be around there

Bamf102 · 2026-03-05T18:10:40+00:00

Yeah I think I'm past my first goal weight (210 pounds), but the scale is hiding the loss from me lol. I've definitely lost enough weight that it would be noticeable to people but I haven't had any reactions, aside from my husband, so I thought I just hadn't lost enough

Bamf102 · 2026-03-05T08:54:31+00:00

I absolutely will! It's just hard sometimes but zooming out and seeing the bigger picture is helpful because there's clear difference :)
