I am no where near my goal, but for the first time in as long as I can remember my adult life, I am under 320lbs :)

Went from a XXL that was tight to a proper if not lose XL and 24 to 18 pants, plus the most notorious and hilarious, size 12ish shoe to size 10 :D

To Celebrate I bought myself a new shirt and a pair of adorable boots which I could never find in size 11 or 12 :D

I am so happy and excited.

Also I finally told my husband of 4 years how much I really weighed. He was actually happy and supportive and told me "My god you carry weight well" :) I was always so ashamed of it and I finally just told him.

    Fantastic job! You look like you lost a lot more than 50#. I was uncomfortable when my hubs wanted to join mfp cuz then he'd know my weight... but I got over it. I find it interesting that I started at 327# and a size 24 and I didn't fit into an18 until I got to be about 265#' I'm 5'9"' . You've made really great progress, . Keep up the good work!

    Thanks :) I'm closer to 5'10 -5'11 (Haven't really measured my height in a while! ) Unfortunately for me, my highest weight was my wedding!!! I can't wait to renew vows, healthier and hotter. My Husband was amazing when I told him he first was like "no way you dont look that heavy!" and then "I'm so happy you finally broke the final trust barrier and told me every little thing about you!" :D

    I'm very happy for you! Keep up the good work. I too also wear a size 12 in shoes. I'm hoping mine will shrink as I get closer and closer to goal :). Also, I love your dress in your profile pic! Cute!!

    Good for you about telling your husband. For me, the day I told my wonderful husband my deep dark secret, that I weighed 302 pounds was the day I started losing. He was so wonderful, and acted like it was no big deal. It was like I told him the sun was shining. The world did not come to an end. He has been my biggest supporter and it feels good to know that he's proud of me. I hope it's that way for you too.
