Size 4?! No wayyy!!!!

So, today I went shopping because my size 8 jeans (which is a miracle in itself) have been bagging off me. I tried on a size 4 just for fun in the jeans i usually buy...much to my surprise they fit!!!!! They were a tad snug...but they looked good for sure!!

I started MFP in May at 168lb and a size 12. I am now down to 145 and apparently a size 4. I am absolutely shocked with my results.

However, the weight and the size difference are not even the best part. In May I found out I had extremely high cholesterol. I really started to look at what I was eating and what I could be eating. Thanks to all the support on MFP, I dropped my LDL (bad cholesterol) by 90 points...I do not know much about cholesterol levels, but my doctor couldn't believe that I was able to drop it that much in just 2 1/2 months.

I feel amazing, my self confidence is the highest it's ever been, I feel healthy, I am eating so much better, I am losing weight and my life has truly changed forever. I will never go back to what it was nor do I want to. People ask me when I am going to stop "dieting"...but I always tell them I am not "dieting" I am simply living healthy. It is truly a great feeling and I could not have done it without MFP.

(PS: my profile picture is a picture taken of me when I was about 180 (highest weight in pink shirt) in July of 2006. The purple shirt is of me a month ago at about 150)
