A year later in pictures (Melissa)



So just when I was feeling frustrated with my lack of losing more weight, here comes Halloween and all it's candy!  Well I was excited for Halloween this year, as I always am, because I love to dress up.  Well my costume from last year had to be taken in, ALOT!  I was psyched and was even happier when I compared last year and this year.  I have the before picture posted in my classroom and I remember feeling DISGUSTED with myself when I looked at it.  Yet, it still took me another month last year to get my butt in gear.

A week later it was school picture day!  Oh joy!  I hated last years pic and thought I looked so gross.  The actual class picture is worse, but below you can see a comparison in just the face.  The lady taking my picture said I could use last year's pic if I didn't want a new one taken... HELLZ NO I quickly said!!



So overall, I am very pleased with where I am a year later.  Could I have lost even more weight?  Yes, of course, but I am 66 lbs less than I was a year ago.  I have gone from a tight size 20 to a 12/14 (depending on the brand) and large/medium shirts!

I'm not done with this journey and to make sure I continue to lose weight I signed up for another 60-day challenge with my Barre studio.  I just bought a Fitbit and plan to walk at least 10,000 steps a day from now until February!  I want to start the new year off right and hope that motivation will keep me going until I reach my goal weight of 145, for a total weight loss of 100lbs!!
