So, six months ago, I started logging what I was eating and found that I was eating around 2500 calories a day. Today, I'm keeping my intake between 1400-1500 and have lost over 22 pounds. That's about a pound a week. The embarrassing part? That first photo, eek!! I also wanted this to be totally authentic, thus no makeup. :P Anyway, laugh at that before picture if you will, but help me celebrate my 6 month mark! :)

    OMG!!! I found the old shirt while cleaning out a drawer today, so I took another photo. I pulled the shirt from the back and tied it with a rubber band so I could see my new shape. :)
