Mama's Going Shopping! 100 Pounds Lost!
 

So I've pretty much broken the 100 pounds lost mark! Technically, I've lost 98 pounds (since October 2014.) Since I had so much to lose, I have sparingly gotten clothes over the last two years because it would not be feasible financially to do otherwise. BUT... for my 100 pounds lost, my 'treat' to myself was to go shopping and buy new clothes (that FIT well. What a concept! LOL) So, mama's going shopping :carrot:

Good for you. We are all proud of you mama.

:carrot::cb::dance::cheer:
That's AWESOME!!!! You go girl! BEST reward you can give yourself!! Many people achieve some weight loss and "reward" themselves with FOOD! lol I prefer to pamper myself with a facial or massage or new clothes.

JesikaBeth~ Congratulations! You earned those beautiful new clothes! Could you give us all tips that worked for you in reaching this milestone?

:cheers:

That is so amazing!!!! Congratulations to you on all of your hard work, sweat, tears, ups and downs....you are really an inspiration. Think about it; YOU LOST 100 POUNDS!!!!!!! How many people can say that?

AMAZING!!!!!!

Congrats Jeskiabeth! Great work! Enjoy your new wardrobe! :)

Fantastic! Enjoy finding new items to try and make part of your day.

Thanks everyone. Went shopping and feeling very motivated!! I had gained 10 pounds back, but I'm back on track now and determined :)

Tips in reaching them milestone. Hmmm... Well, at first I exercised about 4 days a week for 45 minutes a day. I was never good at drinking water though. I cut my calorie intake down to approx. 1400 cals/day, and I watch my carb intake bc I'm diabetic - so usually I eat around 85 or 90 carbs a day. I try to stay below 100 carbs daily. Some days that varies though, like if I go out to dinner or something. Lately, I haven't been exercising bc my work schedule has changed, but the lack of exercise has definitely shown in my slower weight loss and the often hitting plateaus.

So... that's about what I've done. Hope that is helpful :)
