Hey everyone! As of today, I have officially lost 50 pounds, reached onederland, and also achieved my second mini goal.
I don't think my mind has caught up with my body yet, because I still feel like I look like I did when I was coming up on 250. But here are some pics to show the changes!!
THIS SET WAS TAKEN 1 WEEK AFTER I STARTED, @ 245 LBS:
THIS SET WAS TAKEN ON JANUARY 1, 2010 @ AROUND 202 LBS:
AND THEN HERE ARE 2 MORE PICTURES.. THE FIRST, WHERE I'M IN THE PURPLE HOODIE, WAS TAKEN BEFORE I STARTED LOSING WEIGHT. LIKE MOST OF US, I HAVEN'T ALWAYS BEEN KEEN ON TAKING PICTURES, BUT THIS IS THE CLOSEST TO FULL-BODY-SHOT THAT I COULD FIND. THE SECOND, IN THE WHITE SHIRT, WAS TAKEN THIS PAST FRIDAY:
Soo there you have it! I will post a full story when I reach goal, but for now I'll tell you what has been most important to my success so far:
*tracking what I eat on sparkpeople.com.. I do count calories.
*blogging.. it gives me LOTS of accountability
*3fc.. you all are so great! I've never had so much support, and I honestly believe that each and every one of you are reasons that I made it to where I am right now.
My boyfriend celebrated with me this morning and has been calling me things like "ONEderful" and his "199 baby".. he's my #1 supporter, and he knows how long I've been waiting for this! So he's really letting me enjoy it, haha
I'm really excited for the next part of my journey.. I have 50 pounds to go until I reach my ultimate goal, and I know that I can lose those 50 lbs because
I already have once!
woooo!
