The last post I talked about "losing a whole Abby". My 15 year old niece, Abby weighs 94 lbs and a couple weeks ago I lost her entire body weight (from my highest weight). Today, we took a picture to mark the event. She's a bit excited for just getting her braces off too.
Sad to think I carried around the equalivent of a small teenager for years---amazed at the power of the sleeve more and more as time goes by.

Much to my surprise---I was either a) a lot bigger than I thought or b) I'm a lot smaller than I think now. B cuz I fit just fine----with room to spare!!! I was shocked. Needless to say,

I am quite the fashionista. And being 278 lbs didn't hinder that. Granted options were limited, but I still looked good! Well I have held onto my "fashion fat faves" as I've gone down 5 sizes...I have a raging fear of the weight coming back and being a FAILURE.
A close friend's daughter received the great news of her 1st professional job and was in need of some fashionable plus-size attire. Another friend asked if I had gotten rid of my old clothes and I told her I was afraid to...she

I'm at 4 months and feeling great. Weight loss is going good and I'm doing the best I can to keep my carbs down---it's a constant battle!!
Best of luck to all of you guys out there.
Just keep pushing along and the weight comes off-ya gotta remember this is a new life, take advantage of the opportunities.
278.00 lbs. - before
after - 167.00 lbs.
