Default I Did It :)

So for most of my life, I've been obese. And let's not kid ourselves, morbidly obese. I was tired: physically, emotionally. I was unhappy with my appearance and hated being fat.
So this January I started my weight loss journey at 256.4 pounds, a size 24, and 'women's' size shirts.

Today I weighed in 145 pounds. I reached my goal!

Now I'm a size 12, and can wear most things off the rack. Yay!

6 small meals a day. I kept under a carb limit and now at the end of this week I'm going to start adding more foods back in slowly.

This is so wonderful! What was your carb count per day? Give us sample menus.

You should be so proud!

Every time I hear that, I'm both ashamed and proud of myself.

Ashamed that I weighed so much that I lost enough to lose a person, and proud that I stuck with it to LOSE that person!
