Default I'm finally in the 170's....HORRAY

Folks...I never thought I would see the day where I was in the ball park of my goal weight. But today I broke into the 170's...after years of being 190+..and for the past year or so 200+.

I am so proud of myself. I have alot of issues in my life right now and I have stuck with this WOL through all the turmoil and stress. If anything...this is the only thing in my life currently that I have control over...so maybe that is why it has been so successful.

It has not been easy....but losing the 36lbs I have....the continual loss gives me the motivation to continue.

Until the past few weeks, I have not bought myself any new clothes in years. I have been buying some shorter skirts...:o)

Now I just have to put myself where the men are...and see what happens. :o)

Just sharing my joy.....

Kristin

Congratulations!!! That is wonderful!!
It is nice to know that you can have control over this when there isn't a whole lot you can really control elsewhere. And the payoffs are so much!
Get out there in those short skirts. I so miss those days.

Congrats! You must feel so good about this! After I get below 200, being where you are is my next goal. My best to you. Keep it up!

That is one thing I haven't bought yet--but probably won't either--not my style at all! I am a jeans and tee girl--always have been! I like shorts, capris and tees too, but hate dresses--why would I then want a short one???? Congratulations all the same though! I know how great getting something NEW and CUTE is!
