One day at a time, one pound at a time!

I weighed in at home this morning and I was still down (actually down more than I was Saturday morning) so I made sure to have a cute outfit on that actually fits well and to pack my “before” outfit in the car. I got to the center, weighed in and was actually down another pound since Saturday, putting me at 289.5. I signed the 50 lb board and only have 8.5 more to go to reach the 60 pound board. WOOHOO!

The girl at the center was wonderful about letting me do my little “fashion” show. I always wear this certain pair of shorts when I weigh in because they are super light cotton so I changed out of those back into my black dressy Capri’s and took the signing pictures. They aren’t as great as that one in the red shirt. I think I need to invest in more red when I go shopping. Then she was really cool while I changed into my “before” clothes and took my pictures.

I could tell in the pictures on the camera that there was a difference but when I got home and put them up side-by-side… I damn near cried. Ok, I *did* cry. I couldn’t look at them without crying.

I know I’ve made some big changes because my clothes fit different and I feel different. But I never really saw it and didn’t feel “real” until today. I don’t think my feet have touched the ground yet.

I printed these out and hung them on my desk at work (minus the weights… I don’t need my office knowing just exactly HOW fat I was/am). They will be a constant reminder to me of what I’ve accomplished and how it means I can make it to my goal. I think I might even print off a couple more and hang them around my house!

So without much further ado, here are the now infamous pictures!
