Great job! There are many more Portland races/ walks ahead! Dropping sizes like that is wonderful!

It is great! I felt wonderful!! I'm doing the Jingle Bell run 5k in December too!! That one will be fun too!! I can't wait to get dressed up in Elf outfit!! Or something like it.

So I was up walking around my classroom getting things ready for the day. And out of habit I reach down to my shirt to pull it down since it always rides up after I've been walking around. To my surprise the shirt was right where it should be and I was only adjusting it out of habit and not out of necessity!

So I've been wearing my size 18 work pants for a little over a month now and they are definitely lose so I knew I was going to be purchasing a size 16 next. However I have a big meeting coming up with my job that we have once a year and I'm super excited because no one has really seen me in about 7 months and I look like a totally different person now. Well I've been telling my employees that I was not going to buy my new pants until the end of the month when it was closer time for the meeting (all I wear is black pants). Anyway I went to the store last night just to try on the 16s not planning on buying them and 1st off let me say they were on sale, and 2nd they fit perfectly and they even had a little room in them. So I tried on some 14s! They were tight but I just might be able to be in a 14 by October 1st! After saying all of that the whole purpose of this is to say I've never worn a 16 let alone a 14!

I danced until I was 14 years old when I quit because I was tired of being the fat girl dancing. Tonight I tried Zumba for the first time and did FANTASTIC. It was so great to be dancing again and not feel like I was going to die!

I started this journey in a tight size 28 pants. Everything was elastic waistbands and stretchy knits. Yesterday I wore a size 20 pants with a button and zipper and NO stretch at all!!!!! It has been since before my oldest daughter was born 22 years ago that I have worn that size!

Amen to that. People who haven't seen me n a long time remark that I look (and they search for the word) more... confident and happy. And it's true!
