June of last year this dress was so tight I had a hard time walking/breathing while wearing it.

Again....first picture was taken almost exactly one year ago! Wish I would've found MFP sooner, but I don't think I've done too bad for 11 weeks. (Notice how uncomfortable I am in first picture? Hated myself...learning to love me again!)

    When I first set my goals I thought...seriously, word for word in my head...lol...if I can just get down to what I weighed when things started getting out of hand I'll be okay & feel better. WRONG! That was the old me trying to "excuse" my way to "easy". Well, this has not been easy. It has been HARD! LOL! But, you know how something said to you years ago sometimes finds it way to the front of your brain & just won't shut-up!?!?! That's what has happen. My mom used to tell me as a teen, "If you're gonna do something, do it right! Don't half-*kitten* it!" One day I was walking...alone that day...thought came to me..."I'm tired, it's hot, & no one is here to know if I did 30 mins or 60! Just go home." Enter momma's words from long ago! Out of nowhere! Guess what?!?! I walked those extra 30 mins even though no one was there! The "Don't half-*kitten* it!" line of thinking has now spread into weight loss goals. I set out to lose 60...now I think I'll go all the way! No matter how long it takes...100 lbs is the final goal! If I can lose 60...I CAN lose the extra 40 too!

    Thank to everyone that comment on my progress! You guys are another reason I feel so strong in this journey! :happy:

    You are awesome in your journey in learning to eat right. You are also an inspiration to the rest of us. I'm very proud of you. I wish you success in the rest of your weight loss and maintaining your goal once you get there.

    Thank you sooooo much for posting this! You are inspiring! I love how happy you look in your profile pic......pictures are definitely worth a thousand words!

    BTW: I am always telling the men in my home the same thing, (You have to do the job right the first time and half-assing it doesn't cut it buster) hahaha, I guess great minds think alike after all! Your mom is a very smart woman and must be very proud of you!

    Keep up the good work! I would :love: love to friend you cause I like being surrounded by inspirational people like you!:flowerforyou:
