ONE-derland I have Arrived.

My heaviest weight was right before I gave birth to my son in 2010

I weighed a whopping 264. 

I weighed 236 when I started thinking I seriously had to change something

232 I joined My Fitness Pal.

229 Found a great support network in a Facebook group.

(special thanks to Booty Camp and everyone that has encouraged me)

and as of this morning

199.4

I have reached my first goal.

I couldn't be more proud of myself and I can't wait to see the rest of the weight fall off. Losing weight IS possible if you just put the work in. 

They Fit!

One of the perks of losing weight is being able to go through your stash of old clothes that you threw in the back in the closet hoping that maybe just maybe one day you would be able to squeeze yourself back into that pair of jeans you loved so much.

Let me tell you I have had a very large stack of clothes piled up back there for years now. After pulling these bad boys out and trying them on this September I was disappointed to find I couldn't button them (obviously shown in the picture on the left.. yikes!)

So I took the picture then folded them back up and set them on my dresser telling myself it wouldn't take long! Fast forward to this month... I decided to try them on again and I swear I jumped for joy! Not only did they button but they buttoned easy! no froggy jumps, no laying down to shimmy into them and no fat pushing its way over the top.. They fit!! 

I have 3 pairs left that do not fit yet.. and I plan to be in them no later than new years! Then the real fun begins... shopping for jeans without crying in the dressing room. Oh yes! lol it's on.

Sicky

It's been 9 days since I have worked out..Normally I would feel like a fat cow right about now. But Luckily  unfortunately i've been sick this whole time so i'm still losing weight. I wish my energy level would just come back and I wish i could breathe. I also wish I didn't have to force myself to eat since I have no appetite at all. Hopefully this damn bug will get lost so I can get back to kicking ass...Oh the ups and downs of weight loss.

On a good note as of this morning I am 202.4.... which is SO CLOSE to my first goal of being under 200.. I haven't see that number since the beginning of my pregnancy.  I can't wait! as soon as i'm better i'm kicking it into high gear and getting shit done!
