Thanks so much, Brandy! Wow, I'm blushing
It definitely is rewarding to see it so clearly. I just can't believe that I never truly saw myself as being THAT big.
A question for everyone:
How long have you all been on your plans and how many pounds and inches have you lost in that time? What have you been doing to lose that weight? I have been trying to get some friends and family motivated to do what's right, but I know there are more feasible options out there than my own calorie counting and walking.
I've been at this since November 1st of last year, though I didn't kick it into high gear until January 22nd or something like that (whenever I joined this site
). In that time, I've lost 38 pounds and a whopping 31 inches. I've gone from a size 14 pant (I never wore that size, I always was very very uncomfortable in my blood-constricting 12s
) to an 8/10, depending on cut. From a size 12 shirt to a 6/8. I recently had to get rid of an entire garbage bag full of clothes that no longer fit me. Shame, some of that stuff was really nice!
I look forward to hearing your stories
