I... me... this girl... hit the 85# loss mark this week. Talk about exciting!
It's strange though; I don't FEEL like a different person. I'm still ME, just in a smaller body.
I thought I would lose the weight faster than this. I calculated it out and had a plan to be further along by now. It's taken me 17 months and I'm ok with that. 100% ok with it. I've gone from a size 26/28 to a 16, I work out and love it, I feel great and the photos don't lie; I'm a smaller, healthier person!
This is me at 276 (not my highest weight) and then me last weekend before the Komen Race for the Cure (which I ran in 35:42!):
