In 11 weeks, I have lost just over 1/4 of the weight I need to lose to be at a healthy weight. From 298 down to 259.8. I'm super excited to no longer be 260 something... even if it is only 0.2 lbs out!

The NSV... I think I need to buy new running clothes soon.

    Great job! And you totally earned some new workout clothes. You're getting lost in the ones you're wearing now!

    A couple of friends that have been losing weight too just offered to give me their stuff that they can no longer fit into. They dress super adorable so I'm pretty excited to see what they have! haha and I know I'm swimming in them. I think it's pretty funny. I took a picture of the scale today and my friend said even my feet are thinner. I'm gonna laugh if I lose a shoe size when I real my healthy weight.

    I still can't believe this was me 11 weeks ago.

    Did you happen to notice the incredible difference in your face and neck especially? You already look years younger and your neck waddle (I hated that thing when I had it) is gone!
    I am SOOOOO proud of you and I don't even know you!

    THANK YOU!!!! And heck yes I have! I always thought I had a short stubby neck... now I can see that it's a lot longer than I thought it was. I'm starting to be able to see my collar bone and jaw line and I swear I can see some structure in my cheeks starting.

    I try not to beat myself up over the fact that I made myself look like I was in my 30's rather than being 24 (25 in two months). I got pretty mad at "that chick" for getting so dumpy and frumpy. I'm so glad I've been able to use that as motivation. I like being carded still, darnit! And I should still be carded since I'm not THAT much over 21 so I was a little disappointed when that stopped. I've now been carded 2 our of 3 times this month. :D

    I'll be 28 in two months and I was 26 when I started this journey - I felt closer to 50 or 60!

    If you are at all like me, you are not going to be able to stop staring at and touching your collar bones when they appear. I was obsessed. In fact, every time something "new" showed up, I was obsessed for a few weeks.

    You are beautiful and should be SO proud and excited about your progress.

    WOW! You have every right to be proud. You have made an amazing transformation and you do look so much younger. Congratulations to you and thank you for sharing your success.

    =X

    I already sit there and touch them when I have nothing else going on lmao. Thanks again, I feel so great inside and out. I have more energy than ever in my life that I can remember, I can sleep through the night without waking up, I wake up before my husbands alarm and I'm automatically like "HEY!!!!! WHAT'S UP!!!!! WHEEE!!!!", my skin doesn't get breakouts but maybe 2-3 zits a month, I also don't have dry flakes on my face of dandruff in my hair.

    The best part is that I AM proud. For the first time in a loooooong time, I have pride. Not arrogance. I used to think pride was really bad to have... but it isn't at all.

    You look absolutely fantastic as well, lady! From the looks and sound of it, you're pretty proud of yourself too, as you should be! :)

    lol I can't stop smiling today. I feel like a doofus and I don't caaaaaaaaaaaaare.
