Olive Oil Experiment II
So this is all set up and I've started. I'm going to take measurements once a week. I have no idea if anything will happen..lol But I love hoping that it will. =) And it just might! I mean, you can absorb anything through your skin. That's why they have things like nicotine patches and hormone patches and stuff. So I'm sure I'm absorbing the olive oil, and I'm sure my skin will get softer (already has), but will the fat stay in that area, or go elsewhere? I dunno, should be interesting to find out. =)
I'd love a bigger lower half so its worth a try. heh

Looking Back at my gain in my face
Yah, so these pics aren't flattering really, but I wanted to see the change in my face as I gained. I started off at 137 lbs in late July and ballooned up to 173 by the end of January. I DEFINITELY like my face better now. When I was skinny it was like too bony or something. I dunno.
Anyway, here's what I got. =)
July 29th, 137 lbs, taken at work
June 21st, 140 lbs, taken at PRIDE
July 30th, 137 lbs, taken at home
March 11th, 172 lbs, taken at my friends going away party
Jan 28th, 172 lbs, taken at the mall before my surgery
Jan 7th, 172 lbs, taken at home goofing around..heh
Andddd here is me now... after a 10 lb weight loss since February 1st.
Apr 15th, 162 lbs, taken after a shower
Hope you liked?

Weight Loss now 14 lbs and Comparisons
Hey, so yah, I'm losing weight and doing pretty good at it. I started February 1st and yesterday I weighed in at 159 lbs. That's 14 lbs down from my highest of 173. Good job Stacy! (even though most of you are cringing..haha)
BUT I'm stil 22 lbs heavier than my starting weight of 137 back in fall last year when I was my skinniest. And I have my measurements from when I was 20 lbs up, so I thought I would compare. I've heard our bodies are pretty resilient in resuming their exact previous form. I'm not too off from that except, well, I had breast augmentation so you can see that in the numbers for sure, and my hormone levels are are slightly different now, so that can have an impact as well as far as where weight goes. Anyway, here's my spreadsheet of it.
Some observations:
1.) My neck went back to exactly what it was at this weight last time.
2.) My arm is down 1/4" which surprises me actually, cuz it still seems pretty flubby
3.) My bust is up 2" and 2 or 3 cup sizes from last time at this weight sooo yah, surgery.
4.) My waist is actually down 1/4"
5.) My belly is actually up an inch from last time! ***I think this may be because I measured myself after a decent meal at Chipolte AND a latte..lol
6.) My hips are up 3/4". Yah, I'm pretty sure I can tell. Chrissie even poked me here last night. I remember still when there was nothing there.
7.) My booty still has an extra 1/4" compared to last time.
8.) My thighs still have an extra 1/2" each, which is a lot for the smaller area
Ratios:
1.) So the difference between my bust and my waist before suregery was 3.25" and NOW is it 5.5". So that's increased by over 2". Good! God what I paid for? lol
2.) My belly was 2" bigger than my waist last time, now it is 3.25" bigger than my waist. Yikes! That actually includes love handles which is where I think most of it is. Kinda like that actually. =)
3.) My booty used to be 2.25" bigger around than my hips, but now its only 1.75" and its definately because my hips are bigger.
So I feel like my body is changing in all the right ways. =) I like where the ratios are going, well, as long as the belly number is from the love handles more than the front.. cuz I feel like my belly is too big still!
Oh the biggest change was obviously going from a 37AA at this weight last time to a 39C. Very happy I did that though. I just like my body better. Feels good. Less paranoid. Don't know how to describe that.
I have a plan still. I'd like to go ahead and lose more weight. Maybe another 10 lbs bringing me to a loss of 25 lbs total. I'm not sure what I'll do from there. I am starting another little experiment with olive oil though now, which I'm calling Stacy's Olive Oil Experiment II. I set up the spreadsheet and made rules for myself..heh I'll share that with you soon.
Don't know if anyone even reads this journal anymore so maybe i'll let people on ff know? lol
