And now for the real update I wanted to post

[chierii]

I now wear medium-size shirts, almost universally! Large shirts fall off my shoulders now. (and I got the bright idea to take a picture of myself by taking a picture of a mirror.) Remember I actually had to leave chat to go buy them?

Additionally, I learned I'm actually a D-cup instead of DD. I don't know if I lost a cup size or if I was D all along and was mistaken - it happened with my shoe size, too, after all. (Somehow, I was walking around in size 9s when I was really a 6.5. o_o) Speaking of bra measurements, I also went down a band size - from the last set of hooks on one, to the middle set on the other.

Current weight is 130 lbs. (at 5'0"). Clinically, I am only five pounds overweight, meaning I no longer fit into the "obese" category! :D

I want to celebrate, but I don't know how.

A quick comparison (I don't have any before pictures to match to this after, though):

Starting Weight: 170 lbs.
Starting Pants Size: 16

Current Weight: 130 lbs. (40 lost)
Current Pants Size: 10 (3 lost)

Efficiency: Really fucking poor. Those starting stats were from over four years ago.

Anyway, friends, tell me how I should celebrate!

None of the ways I celebrate things are appropriate right now, sadly. Since my celebrations almost always consist of 'indulgent meals'.

I would like to note that you look pretty cute in that photo, however!

I could make room for a milkshake for a day, but, eh. And thanks!

Is treating yourself to a spa possible? I do! Regularly... Ummm *thinks* Spas, trips to the mall even if it's to window shop... Hang out with friends....

[chierii]

No spa nearby. Maybe a manicure. ^^;

Any weight loss is awesome! :D I wish I was 130 (but then I'd be getting near the underweight category xx;).

Celebrate with something fun that doesn't involve food. Like seeing a movie, or buying a new outfit? :3

[chierii]

I'll probably see a movie.

I'm really aiming for 120-125, but even if I can't lose those last five pounds I'll be happy. I'm not obese, and that much is awesome.

cherry halp i'm 250 but i think it's actually muscle or something because i don't look 250.

what do

:(

:(

also go to a movie, SEE INCEPTION IT LOOKS GOOD

[chierii]

Uhh...idk. ^^; (to be honest, because I fail, I can't tell if you're joking or not. Damn you internet, aaaaa-)

But, uh, yeah, movie seems to be the general consensus. So thanks for the suggestion!

i am not kidding.

i'm not.

:(

Aaaa that icon should never be viewed in a dark room. Okay, sorry, like I said, I fail. ;;

Um, I honestly have no idea since everyone's metabolism and body type is different. For me, just cutting calories and drinking lots of water did it. (and walking everywhere I needed to go)

Maybe consult a dietician? Or just mess around with different plans until you find one that works for you? The latter is pretty much what I did. Messed around until I figured out what worked.

Awesome going on the weight loss :D

Also jumping on the movie bandwagon, or just go do something fun with friends ^^

[chierii]

Thanks! Yeah, it's sounding like a movie is the way to go. ^^;
