Hey everyone!
I just stepped off the scales for the third day in a row (that's my test of whether its a genuine goal reached lol) and I reached my 50 pound weight loss goal! <dancing a little jig!> Because I started at 249, this is even more exciting for me because it puts me at 199....ONEDERLAND!!!!!!! Wooohoooo!
My dream plan was to reach this by my 6 month bandiversary, which was Nov. 16...but I missed it by a few weeks, but oh well! I hovered around 202 for a while lol.
I am getting tons of compliments from people I run into, and my 13 yr old daughter is getting really annoyed with people saying..."Wow, you guys look like sisters!" lol I am feeling so good about myself right now (even though I have a bunch of weight to still lose)! I bought 4 pair of size 14 pants and jeans from the Gap and Christopher & Banks, and size Large sweaters (not even the XL!!!) I still look in the mirror and see the same fatness I saw before, but I'm trying to develop some decent body image. I can't see it, but everyone seems to be able too, so I'm accepting that I have some psych issues to overcome lol.
Thank you all so much for all the support on this site. I sit and read every night, and it helps me so much to follow everyone else's journey.
If you are considering the band... DO IT! It's the best decision I ever made for myself :sad_smile:
