Default Drumroll please.....

Okay, after cranking up my protien and I have worked off another 5lbs. Strangest thing, it was like this dropped overnight. I am hoping to keep this train moving now that it is going again, so I will be working on getting in more workout too.

So, now for the drumroll....................

I have officially lost 108 lbs!!!!! I wanted to wait until I got a little further past the 100 lbs mark before I posted the accomplishment. A funny thing happened yesterday, I had a presentation to give at school, so I dressed in a nice outfit, one my mom gave me for Christmas. It is the smallest pants/shirt I have owned in forever (seriously I cannot remember being in a size 20) and they are loose. ANyway I was walking out of the restroom and there was a full lenght mirror on the back of the door, I caught a glimpse of myself and honestly thought "who the **** is THAT????" I startled myself, I quite literally DID NOT REALIZE THAT PERSON IN THE MIRROR IS ME!! WOW! How cool is that???

THanks everyone for the advice and just being a sounding board, y'all are the best!

I know how huge this moment is for you and I understand wanting to get past the 100 pound mark before making it official! Its kind of a pinch me so I know its real moment isn't ot? What a huge relief to have your momentum back. Enjoy every single moment of it!

Lori - this is FABULOUS!!!!!!! congratulations!!!! keep going! you can do this...

and i completely understand that 'not recognizing yourself' thing - i stood in front of a full-length glass door, just like Lucy!!! reaching forward and backward, and moving, and wondering just who that person was!!!!
