Wow...these past 6 months have flown by. I am amazed. I started my journey at 301lbs. And now I am at about 212. I was squeezing into size 26 jeans and 3x or 4x (plus size) shirts. Now I am fitting into 18 jeans - some are loose. And a junior xxl or regular xl tshirt. My mind hasn't caught up yet. When I look in the mirror I still see fat me. Sometimes, if I am not thinking about it, I will catch a glimpse of myself in a store window and go, "Wow. I have a waist." I am at the gym 5-6 times a week for zumba, step class, sh'bam, yoga, body pump, c25k (treadmill), and strength training with a personal trainer. My hair started falling out at about 4 months. But thats okay. I want to give a special shout out to eggface for her AMAZING recipes. I adjust them when I need to for the family. But for the most part the family eats what I eat.
I am looking forward to the next 6 months. I want to lose another 75-80lbs.
Thanks all for your support!! Rock on sleeve sisters and brothers!!!
