my size 6 jeans! woo hooo!!!!!! I OWNED 1 PAIR OF 10'S, NEVER OWNED A PAIR OF 8'S, LET ALONE 6'S!!!! (maybe when I WAS 6!)
It's been a long 10 months. I can only take off around 4 pounds a month. Which is what it averages out to. I would lose 1, then nothing, lose 2, then nothing for 3 weeks, gain 1, lose 2 and so on and so on.
My sister in laws wedding was in July and felt really good about myself. That was goal number 1. Goal number 2 was to be able to walk Disney and not get pooped out. Goal accomplished. Goal number 3 was my 20 year reunion. And that is this weekend. I bought an outfit yesterday and feel pretty good about myself. It's also going to be a long weekend of activities, so I had to make sure I had all outfits that flattered me the best! So I made sure I had great fitting jeans (these) that actually make me look like I have a butt. (I don't, it's as flat and deflated as a pancake/balloon) but these jeans are fabulous and make me look like I have one. And to make sure that whatever shirt and jacket I was going to wear flattered me in every way possible. (the ex HS boyfriends gonna be there and I want to shove it in his face, hahaha!)
I still have around 15-20 more to go I think. My stomach is still huge and working on my back and arm fat. But I'm pleased when I try on clothes. Actually, now that I think of it, I actually LIKE to try on clothes now. I don't leave after 3 hours in a store empty handed and crying like I use to. I still get a little discouraged when shirts don't fit me, but I figure, some day I'll have a tummy tuck and the problem will be solved, so I might as well just deal with covering my problem area the best I can and revel in the fact that I have lost 30 pounds and people are actually calling me skinny now!
Keep it up everyone. It takes time. One day at a time. If you mess up, start again. You will eventually achieve your goal. And someday I will too. Let's do it together!

GREAT JOB!
You look FANTASTICCCCCC!0 -
I can totally relate to when you say how you shop for three hours and leave with nothing...crying because nothing fits. I am so looking forward to buying new clothes, but I'm also excited to do some thrift store shopping. It's so hard to go thrift store shopping if clothes in a regular store don't even fit. I'm excited!0

You look great!! Congrats on the hard work! BTW, what are your jeans made of? They look very shiny....maybe it's just the fabric :huh:0
