April wasn’t exactly the month I had hoped it would be. I started the month at 194.4 and I ended the month at
BIG drum roll please………………………………………………….
194.2!
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
my weight loss chart looks like this:
April 1 _______________________________________________ April 30
Oh well, such is life. I guess the weightloss Gods were not on my side the month of April. Maybe they will bless me with a lack of cellulite when I’m at my goal weight or something. Regardless of the number on the scale, my clothes are fitting better. I also think I spotted my collar bones again and a some muscles in my legs. Who knew they existed!

So what are your favorite looks? Most slimming? Likes, dislikes?
Personally, I didn’t like the skirt I wore on day 151 (it was too big) and should have put on heels (but I didn’t feel like it). My mom thought I needed pantyhose (clearly she seeks torture).
My t-shirt in day 146 was droopy which was annoying at work and wasn’t bright enough yellow. I’m also still not in love with those BR jeans, but I don’t hate them either.
Day 143…well we all know how I feel about the pockets in the pants.
Day 136..eh. I like the two pieces just not together. You probably won’t see the blouse again though (at least for a while), my cleaning lady washed it and put in the dryer. It is now a size 8. ooops. Appliance Hunter has the solution for your washing machine on what to do if it’s not draining.
Day 145 and day 152.
It looks like you may have to get some clothes taken in. They are starting to look boxy.
Also, as for the WL…have you ever been at this weight for a long period of time before? If so, your body might feel comfortable.
Shake it up…add extra water, change your veggie snacks to a different veggie, cut back on soda or coffee, etc.
Just some ideas…
Oh, I like Day 145 and day 152.
Just in general some clothes look boxy.
I love, love, love day 145!
I like the skirt that you did not like and thought was to big. Funny though, since I am so tall, I like to buy skirts big so they sit lower on my waist/hips and give me some length ( and lengthen my torso).
Also liked the brown dress for the wine tasting.
I noticed lots of black and white/navy and white this month. MORE COLOR!:) (so speaks the pot to the kettle)
132 and 145 are my favs. I know you don’t like the pockets on 143, but I like that color combo. But that might be because I think I have that exact outfit only as NY&Co/Loft combo.
May will be your month! It is already starting out great with the garden and all. 🙂
NO coffee Al!!! that is a sin in my home. I might die without coffee!
