16.5 down and pushing forward

I started MFP because as I was online shopping, I realized that I was in the highest sizes that you can buy in most department stores. Size 24's were getting too tight and I was shocked to realize that I needed a 3X in a lot of shirts. I started off January without making a New Years resolution and on the 4th (after much online shopping for work clothes) decided that I CAN NOT be this big any longer. I have 5 kids that keep me VERY busy! I am tired of being the fat, tired mommy that I have been! I have big plans for them in the spring when we can get out there and exercise. I have had several NSV's in the mommy department The latest was when we were taking the kids around selling Girl Scout Cookies and on the way home my oldest told me that she can tell I have been working out because I walk so much faster now Love hearing things like that!! I have been watching my calories and doing C25K and am definitely seeing progress!!!

Although its "only" 16.5 pounds...it is HUGE for me! And I am going to keep at it The black pants in the first picture actually started to fall off last week when I was running. I had to stop and re tie them
