ONEDERLAND!!

61 pounds down and I am finally in ONEDERLAND!! Yesterday morning I got on the scale and it kept going between 199.8 and 200.0 so I decided to wait until to today to officially claim onederland! I believe the last time I was in the 100's was my freshman year in high school...around 10 years ago! In total I am 61 pounds down and 39 to go to reach my goal of 160...which I am hoping will come by my 2 year bandiversary on October 23, 2011!

So many things have changed since saying goodbye to these 61 pounds! Just to name a few:

My biggest NSV is that I no longer find myself shopping the "big girl" sizes all the time. I wear a true XL in shirts and size 16 jeans. For instance, last night I went to TJ Maxx and I always used to go straight to the back to the plus sizes. I realized last night I haven't even been back to that section of the store in months. I have been shopping the XL shirts and dresses in the juniors section. Being a fashion major this makes me so happy! When you spend 4 years studying trends and fashion but you aren't able to wear designer clothes you dream about, it is frustrating. But little by little I am getting closer to that day. When I hit my goal weight of 160 I am going back to my previous employer, Anthropologie, and having a shopping spree like no other!

A few other things...I wasn't able to cross my legs without straining and now it has never been easier. I am also a jewelry fanatic and used to wear size 9 rings...now I find myself buying size 7! And lastly, I have so much more energy throughout the day...it is amazing what weight loss does to your energy level!



I was going to take a picture of myself but seeing that I just woke up I decided to post the most recent on of myself. This is my cousin Lauren and I from this past Saturday night.

Thank you all for your support, kind words and encouragement! I consider you family and love you all! Have a great day!
