I’m down a little over 60 pounds, and my goal is to lose about 20 more. I’ll see how I’m looking and feeling at that point and go from there. But all of my clothes are too big now. I went to old navy and was able to buy a medium which was an incredible feeling. I’m probably closer to a large at most stores, but old navy had me feeling excited about that medium 😂 I’m also a size 12 in jeans now which is crazy. The 10 buttoned and would probably work, especially losing more weight. But I just didn’t like the way I looked in any of their jeans.
Anyways, I bought a few things and I’ve been living in them. The temptation to just buy more and size down is so real. I have no idea what size I’ll end up wearing though. I’ve been wearing all of my XXL and XL clothes feeling a bit frumpy. Now that I’ve tried on things in a smaller size, my confidence truly went up. Now I just need to resist the urge to buy more.
I also need to go through my closet and get rid of everything. Most of it isn’t super sentimental, but some of it I might struggle to give up.
These last 20 pounds are going to be rough over the holiday season 🤪 I’ve been on 4mg for months now and it’s not quite as potent anymore. But I’m really liking feeling hunger and cravings again and learning how to be disciplined. Reta is definitely still helping, but not quite as much as it did when the dose was newer.

I’m currently down 50 pounds and most of my clothes still “fit”, just much looser. To be fair, I think I was in denial and bought clothes too small for me. At one point I did give in and buy 2X, but I mostly bought XL and complained they ran small and never wore them🫠
I have about 40 more pounds left to lose and will probably be there around the end of this year, or fairly close.
What do/did you do in that awkward in between? Clothes are getting too big, but you still have a ways to go until your “goal weight”. Did you just buy a couple pieces and rotate them? Did you just live in your old clothes and gave into the frumpy aesthetic? I’m mostly doing the latter, but I know eventually those clothes are going to basically fall off of me. It’s 100 degrees and I’m currently wearing loose sweatpants and huge sweatshirts everyday 😂 to be fair, I’m also always cold lol

Also, when did you know you were at a happy weight? My goal weight is currently 140. I gained weight in my 20’s, and my natural weight before fell around the 120-125 range. But that was also before kids and in my early 20’s lol. Do you just *know*?
