So, I can't believe it, but as of today, I am 25 pounds down. To be completely open, I started at 218.8, I now weigh 194.2. So really, that is 24.6 pounds but I am just rounding up on the 218.8 to 219 etc.

So. I was going to wait to post this but I weigh in on Mondays so I figure I should probably post today!!!

I started this journey at the end of August and I just can't even believe it. I am on my way and you girls have all been such a HUGE HUGE help! I feel like I should be losing more faster but I'm not on any set plan (minus me doing boot camp 5x a week for an hour a day) and am just eating better. A LOT better. More than anything, I'm trying to make this something I can do FOREVER, and not just a fad diet. Those have NEVER worked for me and for once, something is working!

I cannot wait to post my next mini goal of 40lbs lost. Even more excited for the 80 pounds lost but eh, all in due time right? Ha! I can't believe I'm posting them but uh...here they are all for all of you to see =)

This was at my highest weight of 219 right before I started, this was taken in July:



and this is me this past weekend:

You look awesome and I love that dress!

Thank you SO much! It means a lot to have all of you saying such nice things =)

You have NO idea!

For those of you commenting on the dress...I didn't want to spend too much on new clothes knowing I was going to be losing more but I got a GREAT deal at Macy's on this! It's on their website as well! Only 39 bucks! It's very forgiving and comfy! And for that price, honestly I couldn't pass it up!

Looking good girl! Keep up the awesome work!

That's a $39 dress?? It looks awesome- I need something with a belt like that, it gives you such a good hourglass shape. I'm going to have to start shopping at Macy's now. Well.. maybe I'll wait til I lose about 10 lbs more, I have always loved their clothes, but I haven't been able to fit in them.

GreenTea - I know right? I LOVE LOVE Macy's but it got to a point where shopping just wasn't fun for me anymore. It was depressing. I went in after I lost 21lbs and said I had to find something, tried on 3 dresses (all priced around the same) and tehy all three fit. It was a great feeling.

Their 39 dollar deal is called Everyday Deal. It is this awesome thing they have...I don't know how! But already the dress is a bit big in the back lol so I think that was the one and only time I'll be able to wear it, I'm not going anywhere fancy for awhile =)

I never knew belts could be my friend! But like you said, they do give off a good illusion of an hourglass shape!
