Whole30 Fifth Month Results

Today was weigh in. Let me tell you what I'm seeing over the past 30 days and even these five months.
When I started this Whole30 plan, I wore a size 2X. I started with a size 20 swimsuit. I drive a sports car and I almost overflowed the seat, it was a tight fit. Theater seats were also tight as well as any chairs with arms. My legs looked like tree trunks.
After five months, I'm wearing a size XL. Currently I wear an XL swimsuit. In two weeks I'm ordering a size 14 swimsuit. I don't overflow the car seat, theater seats, or chairs, it's comfortable. And my legs are improving as well. My friend who takes my pictures told me at Writer's Guild on Tuesday that even she could tell the difference in my legs from behind.
Another thing I'm seeing is that I'm on a roller coaster with my weight. Meaning, I'm still losing, but there are months when the weight loss will be less, but the inches will be more. Though I've never measured myself, the evidence is in the pictures. So one month the loss will be higher than the next. This was a short loss month.
So, I weighed in this morning at 5 AM and the loss is 3.5 pounds. I'm half a pound from 30. So, 29.5 pounds in five months, and the picture speaks for itself. Even I can tell I've lost the inches in my legs on that picture as well as in my torso.
My next weigh in is February 4, but I need to verify that.
Thanks for reading. I hope you have a good day, and no power outages on the east coast as you weather that storm. Today will be our coldest before the warm up. Air temp expected at -12 tonight. That's not wind chill. Tomorrow we start heading for the 20's for the next several days with snow on Sunday. I hope.

Your pictures are proof that you are slimming down. Who cares what the scale says (it's just a number) and what's most important is how you feel and that you are seeing yourself in smaller sizes and fitting better in chairs, your car etc. I wouldn't care if the scale said i weighed a million pounds if I wore a small size.

Oh I can definitely tell by the picture @just4him that you're on track. As the fat cells decrease the muscle mass will increase. That's the reason sometimes why it looks like inches are increasing. With you maintaining going to the pool, you will be building muscle mass. Keep up the great work girlfriend.

You are doing so well with this diet Valerie! I send a big hug to you.
It is cold here and the windchill can get to -30 today. Little Miss is home with a fever so we aren't venturing out today. Have to work this weekend though and the weather for tomorrow will be equally as cold as it is today.

@just4him We may get as high as 40 one day next week. I hope Little Miss is well enough to go outside to play in the snow by then.

Wow!!!! What a drastic change in the photos! You look fantastic, Val!!!!!!!!!! I know you will keep up the great work. Kudos to you! Thought you'd like to know that I lost 6.3 pounds just from my walking, bicycle rides, and swimming. Joining a gym here with my sister-in-law next week. What the heck! lol

That's awesome! You did good considering all you ate for the holidays and since you got there, but you do a lot of walking and exercise to keep it off.
Thank you. I'm over the moon about it. So glad I had my friend take these pics.
