I posted awhile back about my journey through losing weight. It has been a very mentally challenging task...but Iam proud to say that I have almost lost 30 pounds! 28 to be exact! I have not felt this physically good in a really, really long time.

When we started having kids...I was at a weight I was just okay with...and sometimes wish I could go back and get to a weight I would be really happy with...because I most likely would not be in the position Iam in right now. It also didnt help that we got pregnant with Georgia when Gavin was a year old...so I was even farther down the road than I wanted to be in terms of my weight.

So here Iam...down to 188 after starting this whole process at 216 ~~did I just really type that for you to see?!~~ (216 is the heaviest I have ever been...even though I always get comments on how I didnt look like I weighed that much...trust me! I did!) about 5 months ago. At 216 I was in a size 14, sometimes 16. Iam now down to a 10 to 12 depending on the brand.

My goal weight is 150...although that might change because I think that might be a difficult weight to maintain. Iam not meant to be tiny and petite and I think losing another 28 pounds might not be healthy for me...We will see how my body reacts as I creep further and further down the scale...Iam trying to figure out what my natural weight balance is during this whole process...meaning, Iam trying to find the right weight that I can maintain in a healthy way...we will see!

Words cant even begin to explain how good I feel...This is the most success I have ever had in terms of weight loss...and damn does it feel good! Even though I have a ways to go...my confidence is way up and I find myself enjoying shopping again! I even halfway dont mind the way I look in a bathing suit...SERIOUSLY?!

Here is a little chart I found that I have been using as a guideline...I think Iam in the medium to large frame with a height of 5'9".
