Speaking of diets...I was looking at old pictures

and OMG...seriously, do NOT get discouraged by 'only' losing .5 lbs per week.

This was me in Summer 2009 I think:

This was me in March at my shower.

Sometimes I don't 'see' the weight I've lost, but looking at that old picture I feel like a new person now:

ETA: My avatar was me last April (2010), so that was about 20-25 lbs ago. I think the pic above was maybe 30-35 lbs ago. I'm down almost 40 lbs total. Slow and steady LOSES, baby!

THANKS!

Sometimes I still feel so fat and get discouraged. I got up this morning before work and spent about half an hour trying on last year's summer clothes and most of them have to go because they're so big on me!!!! But I still don't fit into my clothes from before my car accidents and I can't find clothing that fits me.

I put on workout clothes as soon as I got up this morning in the hopes that that would encourage me (I work from home) to get off my lazy arse and tone up for the wedding/honeymoon.,

But anyway I keep reading posts about girls saying they ONLY lost .5 lbs a week, or they can't lose weight...Omg you CAN.

Several years ago I weighed WELL over 200 lbs and I could ONLY shop Plus size. Now I was buying dresses at J.Crew!! Pants are still a challenge for me (I've got booty!), but it's a journey and the best part is that the weight came off slowly, but I know I will KEEP IT OFF.

YOU CAN DO IT GIRLS!!

All of you fall brides, you can lost 20 lbs by your wedding. it does NOT take will power, or huge amounts of money, it takes patience and determination!
