Did a little lunch time shopping and bought a couple size 0 dresses. It's hard to believe I used to go into that same store struggling to fit into a size 22. Losing over 130 lbs truly changes so many wonderful things.

HAPPIEST SLEEVER IN THE WORLD

Well, today I had some cereal for breakfast (Apple Jacks if I'm being honest) and for lunch I had one piece of Hawaiian pizza. I've not had dinner yet and not sure I will. Might just do a protein shake or bar. I lost the majority of my weight the first 6 months and have been between 105-116 in the last 6-7 months. I weigh every day which I know a lot of people are against but it holds me accountable. I do eat what I want, just in small portions. I don't work out. I have 5 kids, a hubby (my 6th kid) and a very demanding career. I think I would have better muscle tone and not be as "skinny" looking had I worked out but I just didn't want to and since the weight was coming off I decided not to over think it. I can't tell you how much it has changed my life. My career is better than ever, I participate with my kids, I love going places with my hubby and traveling and experiencing different things. It just doesn't get any better.

You look amazing. Thanks for the inspiration.

TRUST ME!! I understand. I never dreamt there was this tiny body under all of that fluffiness. I always said "I'm big boned" or "I'm solid". Come to find out....I was just fat. Lol hang in there. I look forward to seeing your new found smoking body!!!
