I haven't posted my results yet on here, and I will eventually once I reach my final goal. But I just felt so great today, I had to share. Quick back story:
So I've lost about 55 lbs so far on this journey, and just finished my first 30 days of P90X. I lost a lot of weight pretty quickly at first, and now I've been sorta inching down... I just recently took 30 day photos for P90X, and couldnt really tell the difference... only lost a few lbs...
Last time I went shopping I was thrilled to be fitting in 8's and 10's... (I started out as a 14 or 16)... and I hadn't been shopping in the last month. So I walked into express, and pulled out a pair of 10's jeans, and a pair of 8 jeans... Also a dress that was an 8. I tried the 10's on first, and they were definitely loose. Then I tried on the 8's... they fit, but had some give... The 8 dress was loose in my waist. I was nervous, but I thought what the heck, why not? So I timidly asked for a 6 of the dress, and jeans from the fitting room attendant. HOLY CRAP. THEY FIT!!! And it wasn't just one pair of jeans either!!! Every style in the store, the 6es fit! I couldn't believe it. I was 207 lbs in january, and now i fit in a 6?? I almost cried... 6 was my end goal, and I thought i still had another 30 lbs to lose before I got there... Wow. So here are some pictures, just as a bonus:
(oh my god, I can't believe how horrible I look in this picture. I had no idea how heavy I looked at this point.)
