I'm not anywhere near done

But don't let that bring down my success story, because I can assure you that it is that.

A year ago next month I made the decision to lose weight and actually stick to it. At the start of my decision to embark on the journey of weight loss and management I weighed a whopping 196.6 lbs. Mind you, I was seventeen and 5'6" and I'm a female so that is quite a lot.

I've kept at it since, at first only cutting out soda and slowly delving into cutting down portion sizes and the like. It was in May of this year, only a month ago, that I got into fitness as well. I've been at it five times a week down at the gym. When I started with that I was about 181, as you can see weight loss was slow only eating less than "normal" and this is also before tracking calories so I'd like to say this is definitely an accomplishment. Anyway, now I'm down another 8 pounds but much faster than I was used to, which is awesome!

Today, I tried on an old outfit that was my favorite back in Freshman and Sophomore year of High School, about 2-3 years ago now. A pair of skinny jeans and an XL Pokemon shirt from the kid's section at Target. This has been a kind of ritual for me for a while, one of the ways I tracked my progress even if it might seem a little silly cause I would know if I went down a size without trying on the shirt. Still, I was elated to see that they fit!

I'm making progress!

It lifted my spirits and encouraged me to keep heading toward my goal. I have no doubts in my mind if I continue to be mindful of what I eat and work in proper exercise that I will be healthy in no time.

My goals:
150 lbs by October
125 lbs January or February
