Forties

It's official! I joined the 40lb. club this month. As I type this, I have lost 43lbs of fat. I have more energy and more confidence and I love it!!!

That's where my belt used to be!

August 1st marks a year since I started this journey and while I didn't lose as much as I had hoped, I am still so glad that I started when I did.  Over the weekend, I saw many people that I haven't seen since last year and I got SO many compliments about how good I look. I didn't think people had noticed that much! The one that really felt great was my uncle who I don't see often. He had a big smile and seemed to be so proud! People kept asking me what my secret was or how I did it and I told them I just started living a healthier lifestyle!

I'm down 4 sizes in jeans since last August!

I am not close to a final weight, but knowing I have gone this far makes me know that I can do it! School starts this week, so I may not be posting as much as in the past. Just know I am still working towards my goal!
