Talking Im Still Doing It!!!!!

A while back i was on here very frustrated about my weight loss at the time i had lost 34 lbs and was still not going on to the next size down. i was getting a little discouraged but i am so glad that i didint let it get in my way. Since my last post which was in march i have lost 21 more lbs which makes it 55 lbs all together and YES i eventually went down a size and i feel great now i am working on going down to size 16 until i hit my goal of size 12. its been hard i dont know how many times I have cried but then there has been so many times that i been happy that i finally started this life changing process. i was so tired of being fat. sometimes my mind still thinks im 298 lbs i have to remind myself that i have come a long way!! i am so proud of me and the hard work I have been doing because its always worth it when that scale goes down. I know i still have alot to go but im already more than half way done so now that i look at it its not so scary. If you are reading this and you havent started living a healthier life style i know how you feel and you are not alone. you can do it all you have to do is try. i thought i didint have it in me anymore. i thought i wasent strong enough but guess what? i was! and so are you!!!!!

P.S I STILL HAVE 43 POUNDS TO REACH MY GOAL. I AM GIVING MYSELF THE SUMMER TO GET RID OF 20 LBS. I HAVE TURNED IT UP A NOTCH ON MY WORKOUTS SO I HOPE IT WORKS

Good for you! I'm so glad you didn't allow your frustration make you throw your hands up. Maybe you should start a summer challenge if one hasn't already been started.

yay for Jay!!
Good For you! Oh I cannot wait to get to 16's!!
I am close. I am short, so it takes a little less weight to hit a size, usually about 25-30 lbs.. eek!
You got there, and I will too!
Thanks for the motivation too!
