50 Pounds Down Since Sept 12th.

Options
This has taken me some courage to post this, but I know we're all here to support and help each other. I've received a lot of positive feedback from everyone inspired by the fact I've lost 50 pounds so far, so I thought I'd post my own success for the first time :-)

After discovering I gained 20 pounds over this summer alone (on top of already being over weight), I decided it was time to take myself back. Ever since September 12th, I have been eating healthier and (sometimes) power walking (I won't lie, I've totally fallen off the exercise wagon... but will get back on soon.) But I've been a good girl with my eating habits and have not "cheated" once. :-) I eat anywhere between 1200 and 1600 calories a day, just depending on my mood and what I decide to make :-)

I'm giving myself 1 year from my start date, to be a size 7... I picked up a pair of size 7's and thought "Yeah right.." Then I quickly changed my train of thought and said "Yes you can, and you will..." So that's my ultimate goal.

Thank you everyone for the encouragement... Please, please, please no negative comments. These are the best pics I could come up with (I'm extremely self conscience of my body and did not take many before losing weight)

Feel free to add me so we can support one another.

    Way to go! :) I have lost 34lbs since I started, but my post says 26lbs don't know why. I think I may have put the wrong start weight. I have 50lbs to loose still though to reach my goal weight. Your story was very encouraging to me. I can get to my goal! Thank you!!!!

    Amazing job! Any weight that you have lost is something to celebrate, not be ashamed of!

    I started my journey at 319 pounds, and I'm happy to tell you that I'm now at 241. I still have a long way to go, but I'm focusing on one day, one meal at a time.

    Congrats on all your success! Be proud of what you have accomplished!
