Today I weigh 159lbs. I started at 209lbs about 7 months ago. I can't believe I have lost so much! To celebrate my fianc bought me new jeans and a new belt! The jeans are low-waisted sizee 30s! I have never been a size 30 and I have never felt confident wearing low waisted pants... until now!

I can't believe how fast 50 pounds went, and I can't believe that in just 9 lbs, I'll have reached the goal that I never thought I'd reach! I'm even thinking that after reaching my goal, I might like to lose another 10-15 lbs before my wedding. That will likely mean I'll need to have my dress even more altered, but I think it's worth it!

To all the people just starting out, stick with it, you can do this! :flowerforyou: :drinker:
