So my goal was to be at 160 on my birthday - which is today!!! and I ALMOST made it. I got food poisoning Friday (lucky!) and ended up losing a pound the next day...which I took easy food wise for the first half of the day...which I think contributes to my 1 lb. loss today! So I'm at 161. One pound away but I'm super proud of myself!!! I'm going to work hard to keep it off so no one can say "Well, you just threw up all your weight". No, 'cause I only threw up once. Hmph! *nose in air*

Thanks to everyone who's encouraged me in meeting my goal... I'm really excited for my next goal. 10 more lbs by June 1st. It's going to be super hard but I'm going to work super hard to get this weight off!!!!!

Oh, and happy dance... I went shopping for a new top for my birthday yesterday with a friend and it was suuuuch an uplifting experience! I got some cuuute tops and went into Victoria's Secret for kind of motivation. Once I get down to my goal size, I'm buying all new bras there and I am SUPER excited. (So is the boyfriend :blushing:)

    Oh, no!! That would be unhealthy unless I had a LOT more weight to lose. I started the weekend of New Year's. :happy: I don't remember the exact day, but I had a checkup on 12.29 and I was my highest ever and started probably the next day eating better and I started working out a couple days after that. I've always loved exercising and eating good food and good-for-me food but it never sunk in exactly WHAT I was eating 'til I joined MPF and it's been such a lifesaver! I feel so much more organized in my weight loss and journey to health now! Thanks, mfp!!

    Oh, the best part, girls... well, for me right now as I'm on this high (lol)... the top I ended up getting for my party tonight is gorgeous. It's black and ruched at the waist and is formfitting. I feel SO skinny in it!!! 3 months ago, I would have probably needed 2 sizes bigger! And it's at the size that I know I'll be able to wear it when I lose a little more weight. AND I got it free, my friend bought it as my present... so even though it's beautiful...once it doesn't fit, I won't feel bad!! I'll just recycle it to her once SHE gets small enough!!
