in Success Stories
Last year, just 4 months into to my weight loss, I interviewed for a new job (which I got). I went shopping for new outfits for the interview. I was happy that I could purchase size 16's in the women's dept. One year later, I have an opportunity to interview for a new position. Here is my outfit for my new interview. I'm very happy that my new dress is a size 10 in the misses dept. I have 13 lbs left to lose to meet my 100 lb goal.

    Thank you! I am so glad the post helped. There are many days I just have to go see the new success stories. It so amazing to see how well logging your food works and just how many successful MFP's there are! It makes my day and re-energizes my efforts.

    84 lbs lost is wonderful! I wish you continued success in your weight loss journey! It will be so worth the effort!
