Happy Bandaversery to me.

6 months. Almost 50lbs. What?

I could cry at the thought.

It took me 6 months to lose 14lbs on my own, and now, I have lost almost half of myself already.

Seriously the most amazing thing. Hands down.

I never thought I'd be where I am now 6 months ago. I cant wait to see what the next 6 months bring.

And happy bandaversery to you too Janelle :)

I'm alive

I've been keeping up with most of you (or, the same 4 people who update lol).

My doctor called yesterday to confirm my fill for Wednesday and I said, "You know what, I was actually going to call you and decline." She goes, "Oh yeah?" I was like, "Yup, I am excited to say that I do not need to see you, even though I'd like to see you to say hi." She laughed. I asked her if she would look up my weight when I was there last and according to her records, I lost 8lbs in 5 weeks (or 3 weeks, since I had 2 weeks of no loss). She said that was wonderful and I'm really on my way. That was great to hear :)

I am 5lbs shy of my Labor Day goal, which was to be a total of 50lbs down (or 227). I am going to really step it up these next weeks so I can get to my goal. From there I want to lose another 30lbs by the end of the year, so I can be under 200lbs when its time to TTC next year. I can do this :)

I really am starting to accept and love the comments people say to me. I am really starting to feel so much better about myself, and I can feel a lot more confidence building up.

Also, here is a before and after picture of my new haircut. I am also loving the comments about how it opens up my face and makes me look even thinner :)

Comparision Pictures

Forgive me, as the first one is 2 years old, but I'm always the one behind the camera. I havent been taking progress pictures, but I really think I should start. Let me know if you see a difference, I see a slight one, but I guess it takes time to get used to :)
