I'm most likely sub 300 lbs as of writing this however I haven't had my weigh in day yet (I have a schedule for this)
At my heaviest, I didn't even weigh myself, honestly I most likely around 350-360 LBs maybe even more...like my breakfast (and I'm guessing) would easily be 1,000 calories, my lunch would be 1,000 calories, my dinner would be 1,500+ calories, plus snacks, plus I would consume a lot of empty calories in the form of cokes/energy drinks/alcohol I was a big boy. When I sat in my car I could feel the side of my door and arm rest pushing into my sides just slightly (now I don't feel that anymore) I officially started my weight loss at 345. Although before I weighed myself I spent awhile watching what I eat in an effort to cut down before I stepped on the scale for the first time. Thinking back I wish I hadn't done that.
However back to the story at my heaviest I guess I was somewhere around 350-360, and very much out of shape. For work I had a suit made for special occassions. I even remember the tailor commenting on how big I was in a joking way. Anyway when I got that suit and tried it on for the first time it honestly felt a bit tight. Last time I wore that suit was back in January when I was around 345. It felt perfectly back then.
However today I had to wear it for work and when I put it on my girlfriend was like "That's way too big for you" and I looked in the mirror and she was right, it's WAY TO BIG FOR ME. Keep in mind this was a suit that was custom made for me by a tailor it wasn't something I bought off the store shelf. Took 3 weeks to have it made.
Anyway I still wore it, when I walked into the office my boss was like "PJ, that blazer is way too big for you" and I showed him the picture of last I wore it when I got an award and said "Its the same blazer" and he's like "wow" and lots of people noticed that it was way too big.
I was kinda down on myself a few days ago cause when I look in the mirror I feel like I look almost the same, but when you put on clothes that barely used to fit you and now they are way too big it feels good.
I plan on losing another 25-30 lbs and ordering another one. I don't have to wear it very often but I don't want to order one NOW and in 30-40 lbs it doesn't fit again and next time when I order it I'm going tell the tailor to make it a snug fit that way I can downsize into it as time goes on.
O another nice note, my company provides shirts for us to weigh. I used to never be able to wear them cause I was a 5x/6x and the max size they ordered in was 4x. I'm now at the point where I can wear my company provided polo instead of making them myself (I would order the proper color 5x/6x shirt and have our logo put on it)
Just feels really good.
My girlfriend pointed out too that my meals used to have as many calories as I get by comfortably on a single day. My cap on calories is 1,800 I try to aim for 1,500 but don't always hit that which is below what my app says (says I need to be at 1,998 calories to lose 2 lbs a week) it wasn't uncommon for me to consume that calorie count in one meal, little alone one day.
