Original size in April....26. Size of this dress...18. I bought this years ago and have never been able to wear it. I dug it out of the back of my closet last night and boom....fit like a glove. I got compliments all night and I felt FANTASTIC in it!

Happy Tears A-Flowin
When I am clothes shopping I will often pick up something that is too small as "thinspiration". Until now I have never been able to lose weight so I have yet to get to wear some of these things, mostly dresses. Last night when I went out for karaoke I decided I wanted to try one to see if it fit. In mid-April I was a size…

Found a fun new way to get in a quick workouy
I work from home and do not have any gym equipment. So I have to get creative with my workouts on my breaks through the day. Last night I was out at karaoke and we did the Cupid Shuffle. Wow...hello quick workout! I definitely feel it in my thighs and calves while I am doing it. I have begun throwing the song on and doing…

No More Pain After Years of Suffering
I have taken to working out more. When I am at work I use the office gym on all of my breaks. I have been using the elliptical and the treadmill or I go outside and walk a mile on each break (3 per day). I have been noticing a huge difference in my legs, especially my thighs. They are sore as all get out but they are…

Red Robin Adjustments...big difference!!
So I love Red Robin. I really want a turkey burger for lunch but I am aware of how horrible the nutritional values are as is. I used their online calculator (which is insanely awesome btw) and managed to make some great adjustments without sacrificing taste: I have been trying very hard to make substitutions like this if I…

Too much healthy fats??
I like to eat almonds as a snack and have an avocado every day. The problem is that combined with other foods, even though the other foods are low fat, I am still over my allowance for fat through the day because of these healthy fats. Can you have too much of this? I don't like going over the allowance of grams of fat but…

17 pounds gone...can't believe the difference...
So I don't know if it's just me trying to see what I want to see but I can see a difference. Just one month... Today I put on a pair of jeans and zipped them with ease. I haven't worn jeans in over a year...

Confidence...a new thing for me
I have always been heavy my entire life. This has severely killed any shred of confidence that I may have had. I have never been one to have a good amount of self-esteem and have always been afraid to try things that I want to try because I am afraid that people will laugh at me or judge me. After losing 17 pounds over the…

Little victories...
I started my weight loss journey in mid-April at 315 pounds (the highest I have ever been). I lost 10 pounds in the first 11 days. Then I went to Disney. Lol. I did not gain a single pound while I was on vacation but I also didn't lose anything (I was eating too few calories for the amount of walking that I was doing).…

First 3K...mixed emotions...
Well, today I competed in and completed my first ever road race. It was only a 3K so nothing huge. I am feeling some mixed emotions about it because yes, I finished and pushed myself almost to the point of passing out (it was HOT), but came in dead last. I guess if nothing else it was exercise, I completed something I have…

itchy legs at bedtime?
I have noticed that since I have started walking more I am having trouble sleeping. I lie down and my legs begin to itch uncontrollably until I have to take a sleeping pill in order to get some shut eye. I had a professional come in and check for bed bugs just in case but and thankfully free and clear of those. I wash my…

It's finally working!!! :)
Hello everyone!! My name is Krystle. I am from Manchester, NH. I have tried and failed many many many times to lose weight but it never works. I have suffered through depression over the loss of my mother ten years ago and a very nasty divorce. Something snapped the other day and I finally decided that I was done sitting…
