That's great! 24 pounds should take her down a dress size, 27 pounds has taken me down one.
Yep, she has lost a dress size. Just before vacation, she was trying some things on in the shop and she's dropped a size.
I can see it in her current clothes as well. When she first starting talking about joining WW several months ago, she was buying larger and larger clothes, and always filling out every inch of them, and now most of her clothes are baggy.
Funny thing is, she's losing a lot in her chest. Not to sound too creepy, but her pups are
massive...like enough for four average women, and now her bras are way too large. They're tightened up as far as they'll go, and they've got big baggy spaces up under her armpits where there's just too much material now.
how is she experiencing the diet?
She's ok some days, ready to murder everyone other days.
She looks at her points and then looks at foods like ribs and hot wings...and yes, WW says "You can eat anything!" but one rib is a serving, and it's 8 points?! You may as well not have that at all. She gets angry about things like that.
I'll bet you can see the difference too
Yes, definitely. Her face is a lot thinner, and her chest as well as her waist. She'll never lose it in the thighs, though. She was born with tree trunks and she'll die with tree trunks. As my dad said once, "Them's some
powerful thighs!"
Sorry for you though having to keep cooking those WW recipes!
I really just have to get back into menu planning, then I'll be a lot better off. Whether I'm cooking a meatloaf made of beef/pork/veal or one made of turkey, it's still following a recipe, which I prefer. I just have to plan better.
It can be done well without those, but MrsTasty seems to be insecure about that.
For WW especially, I prefer to follow their recipes, because it's one thing to track - they already have the point value assigned.
For example, last night I didn't follow a recipe, so I had to give her every ingredient to track, which took a good 20 minutes to look up and figure out how much she ate. It was either that, or sit down and take 20 minutes to create the recipe. I'd normally do that, but since this was made from what was on hand, it wouldn't ever really be the same again.
I think MrsT is tall too.
Yes, she was nearly 6-feet when we met, but with her age, she's probably closer to 5'10" now.
Diet alone isn't enough, you've got to exercise.
You got that right. That's how I knew she was finally serious. I've never seen a person more willingly sedentary than she, so when she started walking every morning, rain or shine, I knew she was going to make a real effort.
