    You can really see a difference even in your face already! Sometimes that is the last place for the weight to go, so that's awesome. You're gorgeous too!

    You are amazing! You are doing so well! Look at your beautiful features coming through. You are beautiful! Keep it up. How do you feel?

    I feel better and better all the time. I can do so much more, and I want to, too. Like I mentioned in original post not really able to exercise for the sport of it yet, but I sure can do so much more around the house, get around work easier, willing to go into stores and shop for several minutes at a time - things before I used to avoid. I wear a fitbit and that little thing keeps telling me to MOVE KALYN lol (really, it does flash these little cute things telling me to move lol). But just knowing that the calories # burned will increase if I just get up and do something helps me.

    Thank you every one for posting positive, kind, encouraging responses. I had to wipe the tears away again before I could respond. I've been keeping my family in the loop and am excited to see them in June at a family reunion - but they don't quite 'get it' like we can, that its not about the weight loss so much as changing the lifestyle and habits...My Mom constantly asks "how much weight now?" and it kind of bugs me she's so interested in that but not what I'm cooking for dinner..but I know she loves me and thats her way to show it.

    Again, thank you thank you!! All of these wonderful posts is like a big box of warm fuzzies for my heart that will encourage me from here on.

    I do believe that shame is an overactive emotion! In your after picture you look so alive, so vibrant and energetic. Congratulations on having those feelings...continue to enjoy them please! :)

    not posting this for more friend requests or public admiration but this is where i was and where I am as of today

    weddingkalyn.jpg
    shorthair2.jpg

    as of last monday I was at 324, which is still pretty FAT for someone with pretend "big bones, and only 5'1"...however I can so totally tell with how I feel and my recent outspokenness and my ablity to hop up and walk whereever that I am doing better! A sweet but outspoken coworker bluntly told me last week that my wardrobe was doing me no favors, that its NOT normal to roll up the waistband of your pants to get the crotch in the right place, my "moo moo" style shirts only made me look fatter and HELLO you need a NEW BRA!! LOL ....seeing as how she is like the worst dressed person and what she said made sense, I KNEW I was in need of help.

    So that night I went to Catherines..started with a bra fitting..I had gone from a DD ot a D!! then I noticed 4 X was "my size" and anything 5X or more was ridiculously too big, and I no longer needed "tunic" legth shirts to hide my belly that hangs down. AND ...best part...I OWN a pair of jeans now!!! I never realised how "odd man out" i felt until the first day I wore jeans. I was "one of them" ......it was NORMAL.....and depsite the fact that I sashayed my way to my desk and still had the size sticker striped up my butt (lmao) I still felt GREAT!!!!

    I am sad for all the time I lost...when I said to myself it just didnt matter, I love me for me, blah blah blah....and after I got new clothes I had my hair cut shorter and highlited and yeah it slims my face even more, but now I am living!!! and it will only get better. thank you all for all the kind words a month ago I read them a few days after my original post and i just sat here at my desk and cried that feeling of relief and joy .like yeah...i'm finally DOING IT and THEY see it!!! People come up to me at work..people I barely know and they whisper "I just have to ask, are you losing weight??" OMG!! that is the best compliment EVER.

    so ty and I hope this encourages you all to KEEP DOING IT!! I know I am!!! trying to see the bigger prize..not just my small accomplishment!!

    and crap i try to rotate pictures and i try to fix it......i just surrender lmao and not so much a NVS but I got my first period this week in like a year and a half..i think the depo shots i was taking + hormones re-aligning so now I have more femimine hormones and less testosterone in my system is the reason.......lol ...yaya........not! i was perfectly happy not having a TOM!!!

    My dad, who died almost 5 yrs ago(love and admire him so much!!) always told me the best compliment is when people tell YOU you are losing weight...not the other way around..I GET IT now..and I have to admit, it feels GREAT!! I know I still have 150 lbs or so to lose..but knowing the changes I am doing know I can do forever helps me going!! TY so much for all the kind words..and my advice..when changing habits is to do something you can sustain 20 years from now..not just NOW while you are losing weight!! :):):):flowerforyou: I can feel my dad every day loving me and supporting me.
