I hit 40 lbs this week, and my husband took me to buy a new outfit to celebrate today =) We have a trip coming up in mid December, and I have a goal of 19 more lbs before then, so I can be in the 100s club!

I often have a hard time seeing my progress, but others are starting to notice now. I've worked very hard for this - I have an "invisible illness" that makes weight loss extremely difficult, I can not eat raw foods, and digesting fiber is very hard. I have to be careful and mindful of what I eat, and am unable to follow the traditional rules to slim down! I am working out 6 days a week and watching what I eat. I do a mrs for breakfast every day, and that helps a LOT.

Anyway- on to the photos :)

    Congrats! I joined the 40 pounds lost club this week also! And my dad treated me to a dress I had been drooling over. I wore it to an event tonight and actually had someone comment on "how thin my waist looked." I can honestly say that was a compliment I had NEVER received before! Keep up the great work! You look wonderful!
