I was supposed to do this post when I got halfway to goal...... in getting really focused on my health I kind of missed it. ^_^()
So I'll get the numbers out there first because I've redone them three times...They don't seem right. Anyway...

SW: 375lbs.
CW: 250lbs
GW: 170lbs

Starting size: 5X shirts, ...uhm...stretchy pants 26/28
Current sizes: 2-3x in shirts, 18/20 in pants.

So I've lost 120 lbs (O.o) and I have 85 to go.

I'm really glad I figured this all out tonight...I was feeling pretty hopeless. I have this bad habit of being really hard on myself. So I also met up with a friend again from the past tonight and she was posting old pictures of me...

I know the dreaded bathroom picture...it's the only full body picture I have. Lol.
Hopefully the pictures work...I read the thread...I think I did it. Lol.

Oh and just as a note...I have PCOS, diabetes, high cholesterol (I've had pancreantitis from high tryglycerides at 1200), a mild heart attack, and Borderline personality disorder. If I can do it, you can too!

It just feels really good to finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.

    Thanks you guys, you're all so sweet!

    And yah I still have 85 to loose but I'm a freaking amazon. Lol.
    I'm 5'11" with a medium to large frame. I wear a ten in shoes (11 heels...yah that happens) ...I'm just...big. Hah.
    So there's a lot of room for the fluff to spread into.

    Breyna, if you have some questions to ask you can feel free, I'll answer to the best of my ability. :)

    Trust me you can totally do it! The nice part about it is that it gets easier the more you do it!

    I have always hated...any activity. I would skip school when we ran the mile...I was at that 'Wow this is only 12 stairs' level and now I can walk a mile everyday before my strength training. It feels good too, helps with my stress and anxiety.

    Also once you get rid of crap food you feel SO much better overall. Heart burn is a lot better, no painful bloating every time I eat... The bad stuff just loses it's value.

    And then you see how much money you save by cooking at home.

    Getting the ball rolling is the hardest part. :)
