I've posted before about my loss and had amazing feedback from everyone. Just hit another milestone- 50 lb loss on Friday! And this morning I woke up to a 52 lb loss, meaning I've lost my second 10% (I've broken my 4 major goals into 10% goals). Before you think this is a crazy fast loss, I have been plateaued between the same couple pounds for a good 2 months now. Post TOM and starting to add veggies to every single meal helped break this plateau!

I am 4 lbs away from my lowest number during Weight Watchers in '09. I have never lost more than 50 lbs before, and it feels amazing. I am also 18 lbs away from Onederland, and I haven't been there since around 2000. For once, I finally feel like I can do this. I'm 5'4' and 33 yrs old. I've been using MFP faithfully and working out with a trainer once a week and trying to implement cardio into my schedule. This weight loss journey began in Jan '13, and I've been happy with my pace since I want to make sure my body is adjusting properly to this lifestyle change.

I've been keeping a weight loss blog since January at http://sweatersandsmoothies.blogspot.com Tons of pictures, goal numbers, reflections and opinions if you're interested in reading!

    WOW, thank you all so much!! I've been hearing that a lot about my smile lately.

    Yes, I'm a huge nerd in case you couldn't tell. ;-)

    And my back tattoo says "Lady Peaceful"- lyrics from the Cabaret song Maybe This Time. I just got Hedwig and the Angry Inch lyrics tattooed on my ankle: "There's nothing you can find that cannot be found." Damn right! Thanks everyone! You know how to make a girl feel good.
