As of today I am about 11 months into my weight loss and I have loss a total of 42lbs. At my highest I was 256lbs which is pretty big for a shortie like me - I'm 5'2". I am currently 213.6 Today I was just fooling around on MFP and noticed that my clicker is 1/3 of the way to my goal weight - I'm so happy because months ago I never even thought about getting this far.

Anyway, I decided to look through photos and look for any changes. I don't have any HUUUUGE changes but they are definitely noticeable.

On the left is a picture of me at my White Coat Ceremony in August of 2011 and on the right there I am in the gym locker room last week.

Now I'm just excited to get into ONEderland and my boyfriend said he'll take me on a work out clothes shopping spree!!! YAY!!
