70 LBS DOWN TODAY!!!! Boooooooooom! Victory is SWEET!
I have some setbacks:
-Ate some CRAP sugary food over the last 3 weeks. Stalled my A$$ off!
-Stopped killing it at the gym due to a Derby Injury
NSV's:
I bought several XL things including an adorable dress & they all FIT AWESOMELY! That is regular ladies XL, not 1X.... just to clarify (& gloat)
I bought a size 12 REGULAR WIDTH strappy ridiculous heels that SCREAM Vegas (will be there in one month!) I was up to a 13W before surgery.
I am currently wearing a tank top from the JUNIORS section. it has a multi-color zebra pattern & I think I'm going to wear it to the gym later!
I can sit in the school chairs that have arms on them now.
I can walk up to the third floor apartment of a friend of mine & I can still breathe!!
My collarbones exist... and they are LOVELY!
So, pretty damn good if you ask me. I have many more victories than setbacks & I start regular practices with the Charlotte Rollergirls Derby team IN ONE WEEK EXACTLY! L-O-V-I-N-G my new life~
ALSO.... CHECK OUT MY VIDEO BLOG ON YOUTUBE. More about my derby adventures there. Link is in my signature. I would love your feedback!!!!

& I am under 300 lbs for the first time in over 7 years!!!!!!
298.8 this morning. Great way to start the year!

I was about 349 in the first two & 309 in the 2nd two. I can not pretend this post is anything but shameless bragging... but there you have it!!

I shout it loud & proud, but that is just my personality. I hope I empower somebody else to take control of their weight & their lives

I had daily pain in my knee & foot for more than a year. Now, less than 2 weeks out, I have NONE! It is amazing how 31 lbs can change something so dramatically!
Also, BP has been around 130/90 for about a year & I had it checked on Friday & it was 102/75

Note the Giant pack of toilet paper! Haha

YAY! We are all going to be losing weight & looking amazing together!

I am getting sleeved the day before Thanksgiving!! I think it is pretty symbolic. I keep telling myself that while all the people around me are gaining weight, I will be getting more gorgeous & healthy!!
