Getting in Shape

Now I understand why girls love shopping!

Hey ladies,

So I haven't been around lately...just busy with grad school and working. Things are good on the working out/eating right front...it's just gotten to be such a routine that I hardly think about it. And I've found that not counting calories has actually helped...I broke past my plateau and am currently weighing in at 164 (which means a total weight loss of 62lbs!!)

But I wanted to share this awesome experience that I just had...there is a fall fling on Friday and my friend and I went shopping for a dress at Express. Now back in the day, I could never fit into their clothes...but I figured now I can so off we went.

Well I grabbed some large's and a few 12's and went to the dressing room...turns out, everything was too big...I needed MEDIUM sized stuff and ended up buying a dress that is a size 10!!!! I've been heavy ALL my life...I remember wearing size 12 jeans when I was in 8th grade. So needless to say...it was a pretty amazing experience.

Aside from all the amazing transformations and seeing what my body is capable of now...this was a really great reminder of how hard I have worked and that I never want to go back to where I was before. I still want to loose 14lbs. for the wedding and for myself (I am 5'8" so I think 150 should be a good weight for me) but it seems like NBD after loosing 62!!

Congrats to all of you on your weight loss, but more importantly, on your committment to live a healthy life!!!

  • That's awesome - congratulations!

    It's so wonderful when hard work pays off. And yes, shopping gets more fun (and more dangerous - since now all the nice stuff fits - lol)!
