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.

I know what you mean about how the mind is slow to register, here too. Love your attitude, keep up the great progress!

thanks i appreciate it and yes my mind hasent caught up with my weight its funny when i was 298 i kept telling myself im not fat lol and now its the opposite! and yes this summer i have a plan to workout as hard as i can and push myself and just keep eating healthy!! thank u again!

Great job! As someone just starting the journey...I need to keep this in mind. Thanks!

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!

yeah depends on ur body i can fit 18's now but depending on how they are made and i fit a size 16 too but they are strechier jeans which is still cool lol

You can do it! Weight loss isn't easy, but it is worth it! Good luck and keep at it!
