About 20 months I think
WORTH IT$15,000
216 on the button today. Same size large shirts 12/14 pants - Figured I'd check in before Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving! Update on me- struggle with food choices everyday, boyfriend has moved in, he's still very supportive (we struggle together), still want to be under 200 but I don't hate where I am, turned 32 this month... we adopted a cat. Hahah someone posted an old picture of me on facebook on my birthday and it made me sad but also made me appreciate how my body is now.- Even with an extra 16 lbs. Here's the old pic, a new pic I snapped at work- better lighting there and a pic of our crazy cat for fun.
Hope you're all well, kicking butts, etc. :)

Great work hun! I know it's hard to keep up the momentum after a year out. At about 8 months I pretty much stopped losing and remained in the low 190's for a few months. Finally, I got tired of gaining and losing the same 5 and decided to get a trainer and do low carb. It's been a big effort staying on track, and I'm far from perfect, but I'm finally down to 172. (155 is my GW). I'm on a FB page and I see so many people having crazy, drastic results in just the first few months...I didn't really have that, but I'm wondering if it is because i introduced sugar and chocolate back in relatively early.
Anyways, you look healthy and happy! Keep up the good work :)

Thanks, and great work!... I was wondering if anyone kinda stopped losing for a long time. My bod def likes being here - and feels satisfied with the amount I'm eating but I suppose I should cut more carbs out. Good luck to 155 we'll get there eventually I hope!

Vacations are hard
Just got back from a weeks vacation and gained 5-7 lbs. I'm sure I can take it back off soon but just goes to show... This is not a cure - food still happens. Whomp whomp!! I still look better than I did. But I am determined to get to 200 or below. Though it's VERY slow going now. FU last 20 lbs. haha awkward/quick pic in my work bathroom for fun...
TTYL!

I bought Vitafusion MultiVites gummy vitamins @ Sam's Club.....Costco sell them too! They taste like gummy bears fruit flavored candy.....I was having issues swallowing big vitamins.....so I stopped taking.....big mistake! I lost weight fast 58 pounds in 5 months by strict dieting & exercising....didnt think it was important to take a vitamin since I was eating healthy!
Now, I know it's important to take essential vitamins when you are losing weight or on a restricted calorie diet!
Good luck with your with your continued weight loss! Blessings to you for making a decision to live a healthy life! :-)
