Hello watchers of my weight loss!  I couldn't wait to share the news!  I hit the scale this morning to find that I'm now at 274!  Only 4 more pounds until I hit the 260s and I'm lovin it!

I was feeling gutsy so, I tried on one of my 2x t-shirts.  I could actually pull it down over my body!  It's tight, but it fits like my 3x t-shirts were fitting when I was near 300 pounds.  It is odd to imagine the 3x shirts that now hang on me as ever being tight.  My favorite thing to do is to look at the poof in my pants where my stomach used to be.  Where did all the fat go?  Does it seep out my pores in the night when I'm sleeping?  How could I have really lost 24 pounds in just a few months?  Wow!

I'm still huge at 274, but I try to just focus on the positive and think of all the wonderful things about the 270s.  In the 270s I don't have to order my clothes from a catalog, I can buckle my seat belt without an extension, and I have more energy.  It's easier to go up the stairs in my home at this size.  I remember I used to be able to carry laundry up the stairs without straining when I was under 200 pounds and I'm looking forward to doing that again.  I'm also looking forward to crossing my legs and not having my thighs rub together all the time. 

I think I will take a walk to celebrate being 274.  It's a nice day outside and I'm feeling good.  I know most people would be sad to be 274, but I know I'm on the way down and it feels soooooo good!

I'm 274 everybody!!!  You know you're jealous!  ;)
