Moving Forward

If you start back from April, I have lost almost 30 pounds (13.6 kg.) Despite this, I was feeling fatter than before...until today.

When I realized I was way overweight, I was wearing Women's size 22US. I recently bought a pair of Plus Size 18 pants. I tried on a pair of 18 Misses (there's a difference for some reason) but couldn't get them around my bottom. It was a little depressing, but it at least showed me where I needed to get.

Today I went to a Ladies Clothing store (not a plus size store) and bought a pair of Misses 18 skinny jeans. I took a picture in the dressing room. It was with my camera phone and I forgot to focus on looking into the mirror, but you get the point.

Remember this Before:


And After:

Now, not all size 18s fit yet, but they will.

Putting it out there

I don't want to, but I have become satisfied with the status quo and an unhappy medium, so I am putting it out there -- a picture of me before my Wii workout on Saturday. Maybe this will give me the kick in the pants needed. (I had to run across the living room before the timer went off on the camera, thus the blurry image.)

No comment necessary. I just need some motivation to eat well and keep up with the Wii and add some walking into the mix.

I am noticing that I am about 2/3 the size of that piece of furniture. I am going for half. I don't think that is unreasonable.
