Want to get below my high school weight - I was within 2 lbs then got in my own head so now I'm 7 lbs away from it. :( Get comfortably down to a size 14. Get to Onederland by my birthday - a little over 6 months away.

Needed to get a halter style bra for my friends wedding next month. Went to Victoria's Secret knowing that their 38C would work. Tried it on, and I was all the way on the inside hook. Decided to give the 36 a shot and it fit AMAZING. Probably one of the most expensive beige pieces of undergarment I'll ever own but I was so…

Now I know Old Navy is generous with their sizing, so I was cautiously optimistic to try on shorts yesterday in a size 16. When I tried them on the gap in the back was huge! Cautiously, I picked out some 14's, expecting them to fit halfway up my thigh and stop - even if I did the shuffle dance. Not only did I not have to…

Starting week 3 of Insanity so it's the second Fit Test...excited to see how I do tonight. This past weekend I went to Costco with my brother and niece. She wanted me to carry her the entire time through the store and I ended up having to put her down about 3 times since she was getting so heavy. Later on my brother told…

Was out shopping with my friends on Saturday and we went to one of the malls in the area that doesn't have a lot of plus size options. They wanted to go to American Eagle and it was only the second time I've ever been in there since I always thought it was the type of store where nothing would ever fit me unless I bought…

I had a pair of grey pants that were my goal dress pants for the longest time. I used to wear them to work when they finally zipped even though I had a muffin top because I liked them so much. They're now so big I don't have to undo the button to pull them down. I think I need new goal pants. :)

Missed my mini goal for February but it's ok! I'm more motivated than ever. -Finish workout/weight loss challenge with friends on St Patricks Day -Start Insanity 3/20/16 and stick to it for all 60 days -Attend the gym at least 3 days a week in the meantime -Go through my closet again and remove all oversized clothing and…

Just hit a mini goal recently...as of Monday I'm officially halfway to GW! 54 lbs down, 54 to go. -I'd like to hit my sophomore year of high school weight by the end of February. It's only 2 lbs away so that's doable. -I'd like to hit Onederland by my friends wedding in July - 35 lbs away from that! -I have no idea what my…

Went through my closet last night quickly while putting away laundry and added another pile of clothes to the 'too big' bag to donate. Somewhat scale related but I'm finally halfway to my GW and I feel SO good! I never thought I'd see the day lol.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You look fantastic. Those flowers are gorrggggg!

Was feeling pretty down and out about myself over the weekend. Decided I needed to clear my head so I went for a hike at one of the parks in the area. Thought I'd go for a mile or two, ended up hiking 5 miles and felt good afterwards. Came home and meal prepped to get myself more organized for the week so I don't eat…

-Had to get new skinny jeans, happy to report I'm down to a 16 in nearly every store I walk in to. -Thrift shopped and get some new button downs, all in an XL, no more plus size tops! Which is so crazy to me since the arms are usually my biggest issue with button downs. -Going out last night for my friends birthday and saw…

Got a little down and out about some things and ended up eating wayyy more than intended this weekend. Still ended up pleasantly surprised when my clothes still fit the same, despite feeling super bloaty. Had my annual physical this morning and even though I'm up a few lbs from my weekend of destruction, my doc was SUPER…

You look incredible! That dress is darling on you.

I posted this in its own thread but I'll share here. My 'journey' started and stopped at least 6 times between hitting my highest weight in 2011 (that I had measured, I know I weighed more in 2008/09 but refused to step on a scale) and finally having enough of going up and down the same 10 lbs in May 2014. I'm a slowwww…

When I moved out of the house 5 years ago, my sister gave me 2 garbage bags full of her "fat" clothes. They were always in the back of the closet as "some day I'll fit in to these" clothes. Over the course of the last year and a half of joining MFP and getting myself back together...I've picked out more and more from those…

Fantastic! Such a good feel getting another notch in :)

Went shopping yesterday for a NYE dress. When I started I was in a pretty snug 20W and yesterday I walked out of the store with a 16R. :#

It was gorgeous here on Christmas Eve but I had to work for part of the day. Rather than just loafing at home when I was done I went for a hike in the park. Ended up doing 3.5 miles without even thinking about it and only left because I had plans. Ended up being the one by the tree handing out presents during my family's…

Thank you all again! It's soooo weird seeing anyone use the word inspiration to describe me. I appreciate it a lot. And what's the old adage? Slow and steady wins the race :)
-
Thank you everyone! You all made my Christmas :).

Bump!

Torrid is owned by Hot Topic so a lot of their stuff is in both stores :)

Same! I was still full from brunch by the time we went to go see it. Normally I'd cave because the smell and taste of movie theater popcorn is everything to me. Not yesterday :) I went to the salon last week and got the shortest haircut I've ever had since I was 6 yrs old. I finally liked having my face and neck showing!…

Oo I love this! 1. Begin training and then complete a full marathon by 2017. 2. Do at least ONE pull up because I've never been able to. 3. Run a full 10K without slowing down to walk. 4. Go to Cedar Point and ride every roller coaster because I haven't been able to in years. 5. I'd also love to go skydiving...every time…

So many amazing NSVs! I went thrift shopping over the weekend for some work pants since my current ones are giving me saggy butt syndrome. Was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get 2 pairs in a 16, a regular 16 not even a 16W. Also nabbed a flannel in an XL that fit well all over...nearly every flannel I find that…

I got a couple... Just realized that I FINALLY dropped from Obese III to Obese II. Started at a BMI of 45.2 and now I'm down to 37.5. Can't wait to get down further. I had a set weigh in goal for yesterday... I had found paperwork from a doctors visit I had when I was 16 showing my weight and I really wanted to be at the…

Another notch in on my belt! It was ALMOST there on Sunday and this morning went all the way. This weekend I went outlet shopping with my sister and got a bunch of Christmas shopping done (a first for me) and was able to go in to nearly every store and find something that fit! At Nautica I was able to wear their XL shirts…

Went to the mall yesterday to get a birthday present for my niece. Decided to pop in to Forever 21 and see what they had for winter. All of my sweaters are baggy and I look unkempt at work. There was one sweater I found last year in a L that was a little snug but I could make it work, so I decided to try on another L and…
