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. :)

You look great!
Ty !!!
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!
Hey girlie! How've you been doing?

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!
TTYL!

You look great!! Congratulations!! And thank you for sharing your story. What an inspiration
You still look great! So happy I don't gain on vacations. I probably dance too much. Lol
You look great....I am so proud of you!! I love how we are able to follow your journey with your fun and unique writing style. Your new hair cut looks awesome too...... keep up the healthy eating choices....
That means a lot to me. Thank you!
You look fantastic....I lost a lot of my hair too from weight loss (95 pounds) & having mommy makeover surgery after losing all the excess weight! ....I now taking a gummy bear vitamins & cut my hair short! It stopped falling off & I'm feeling so much better! Kept thinking I was going to go bald!
Im thinking about switching to gummies soon
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! :-)
