Well seeing I got dressed up last night for a night out with the girls for Valentines day I figured I'd use those pics for my half way ones seeing im only 5 pounds from my half way mark.. YAY...So I started out at 235 (ish) which is what the first 3 pictures are ... and the pics with me in black and white im at 192.5.. I still have a long way to go, and celebrated a little too hard so prolly gained a few pounds this weekend. BUT. I am ready to begin phase 2 and really get in shape. I cant wait to get below 185 thats a big mark for me, and Im almost there!! I start boot camp in a week and that should really help. I've come to love the gym and am now able to run 3 miles.. Getting ready for my first 5k in April... Im so excited about all of this.... Let me know what ya'll think... I have a loooong way to go yet, about another 50 pounds.. but thats ok... I can do it.... :D


Here is me a little over a year ago... 230 ish...

    That is so awesome! Congratulations on reaching the halfway mark! Weight loss is such an amazing journey once you get used to all the hard work and dieting (and even then it gets hard/discouraging at times). Keep up the good work, I am excited to see you along the rest of your journey!

    Thank you all so much!!! So excited to keep this going.. Pretty soon each pound I hit will be one that I've never been at before ( or cant remember being at - its been since middle school that I've been in the 180's so this is getting exciting... ;) ).. Thank you for all your support...!
