At my 35th bday party I stepped on the scale in the morning and weighed 270 (maybe even a little more). It didn't get me down that day, but in the days that followed and looking at pics of me from around that time frame and I just wanted to cry. I was fat... really, fat and I didn't like the way I looked.

This was me at 270 in November 2013, getting ready for a semi-formal banquet. I hated how I looked. I wanted to hide and I felt like I was.

Me, down 15 pounds at 6 weeks, lost 14 inches overall. Already, I was feeling better about myself!!

ANd this is me from Sunday (4/13/14)!! Down 22 pounds, -20 inches off overall.

Sure, I've still got a long way to go but my arms are smaller (though still way to big in my opinion lol), my waist, hips, thighs... everything is getting smaller. My confidence is going up and I've always been confident but I'm feeling better about myself. I don't want to to totally hide myself behind bulky sweaters and wraps, I want to wear skinny jeans and form fitting tops. I know I'm still a big girl but I'm getting smaller and excited to share my shirking self with my friends and the world!!

CHEERS!!

    I'm impressed. Lots of inches gone considering the weight loss! Would you mind telling me everywhere you measured? I always wonder how people lose so many inches so fast. Thanks!

    I can already see it in your face and your curves are already starting to come out. Think about it this way, you've already lost ~10% of your weight, that's a big deal! I bet just walking already seems a tad easier.

    You're a pretty girl, keep the discipline strong and you'll get to where you want to be!
