I just wanted to say I've noticed in just your profile pictures your weight loss, you were beautiful before but you're gorgeous now - those cheek bones! Keep up the great progress!

Thanks @BlondePatriotInCDA chic! It's the hardest Shi* ever! Being obese and having a food addiction, everyday is a constant battle for me! Thanks I will keep it up as best I can ?. I kept all my big cloths and I have to take before and afters often because psychologically, I think I have not came that far but when I put on those old cloths and they fall off....I'm like ahhh okay. My stomach is growling right now as I type ??. Lets Win!

My win for today is small and maybe reaching a little, but I can ALMOST button my favourite denim jacket again! I haven't even been able to get it on in about a year!

Not sure if this is a win?

my weight has pretty much remained the same for 1.5 months now, but the last couple of weeks my arms, abs and legs have shown a lot more definition and my pants definitely feel looser.

I’m more or less the same weight In both pictures but I can tell my body composition is different.

Looking Good! Major Win!

I've officially lost one of me! I was always 108-120lbs until the last 10 years, I weighed in today and have officially lost 121bs A whole other me and boy am I glad to see her go..she wasn't the nicest person..always making me feel like garbage!

AND

Its getting cold out and I dug through my clothes looking for my fleece leggings, once I found them I didn't think...put them on, stood up and they dropped to my ankles, I about tripped! Happy and sad all at once...they used to be my favorite cozy warm leggings!

Dynamic Win!! That is awesome! Proud of you! Keep up all the hard work. The work is HARD but it's REAL!

I feel you on your favorite leggings such a sad break up! I laughed out loud because I get it! I have a few of my dresses from when I was larger that I still wear around the house ???. I can't let them go, that was a part of my life for the longest! One side may be hanging off my shoulder but we gone ride it out ???.

Good eye! They are LMAO!

I bought them just a couple of months ago and they’re already loose (size S mind you). Nothing like the snug lululemon and Alo yoga pants! They hug you just right.

Everyday Win: I am the crazy lady who gets up @ 4am to work out. I credit a lot of the rapid weight loss to MOVEMENT. I have always enjoyed movement even when larger. My most enjoyed Movement consist of being outside on the walking trails. I have yet to step foot in a gym, but will next month as I have a personal trainer for strength training ??. Do you enjoy movement? I know it's hard!

Great win. ?

I am loving it too. I am actually walking right now back-and-forth at my house. I try to get 2 miles in before I go to my group fitness class. Which today is yoga, my favorite. I take the classes at my community center. It was easier to get started there because they’re fairly inexpensive for one or two classes and there’s no contract so it seemed like much less of a commitment. Now that I am taking four classes a week that kinda adds up to what a gym membership would be though so I may look into that at some point. Honestly, I really like the women in my group classes though. They are just average women looking to get healthy and super nice. maybe that is the case with gyms as well I honestly haven’t been in so many years.

Not crazy at all, that is dedication right there.

I have gotten addicted to early morning workouts. My whole life I worked out later in the afternoon or late mornings when I had the chance. The past few months I started doing it at 5ish and getting it out of the way, it has transitioned to become the best start to my day. I really feel sluggish if I don't start my day with movement. Keep it up!

What an achievement!! That is phenomenal!

I bought a skirt and dress from Goodwill today. I used to not enjoy thrifting because nothing ever fit me that was fashionable/nice as I was a size 4X/24+. Now as a M/L, I can actually find some stylish and vintage pieces, try endless things on, and walk out with something. I hated buying plus size clothes because they were few and far between and so expensive. It's nice to be able to thrift. I found a really cute 90's romantic black skirt, def vintage and I love it.
