Thin-spiration!

SingSmileLaugh

Bye bye size 20!~
At the beginning of the school year I bought brand new teacher clothes including dress pants for my newly designated size 20 body. Lane Bryant clothes are ridiculously expensive, but I like to look nice! I bought 2 pairs of pants totaling over $100. The minute I bought them, I hated them and myself for being in a size 20.
I started MFP on Sept 26 2011. It is now nearly Oct 26 2011 and I'm down 10 lbs and 15 overall since I bought the pants. I have GIVEN AWAY ALL SIZE 20's in the house!
On a second note, my mom (the beautiful and wonderful woman that she is) has gotten DOWN TO a size 20 and I happily gave her beautiful new pants to wear to work! I love her so much! She is my "Thin-spiration." If I get thin and I encourage her to be thin and healthy, then I have a healthy, happy momma for years to come! Yes, I'm a momma's girl!
Also, as I posted in my profile, this Friday I went out with my girlfriends in skinny jeans, leather boots and a cute top! They all notices how great I looked. I don't see anything yet myself, but the scale says 15lbs. only 50 to go to One-derland!

THanks for all the kind words! We are trying really hard! Next comes an exercise regimen, She is in a lot of pain in her knees, so I need to give her time. I take walks with my dog and boyfriend, but we dont' count those calories as ones to eat!

If you guys have a place where there is swimming, that might be the best way for her to start exercising. I have swam in the past when I have had back problems and it hurt to move. My doctor recommended it. Good luck.
