Default 50 lbs lost - wonder where they all went? ;-)

I stepped on the scale last week and found that I had reached a major milestone - 50 lbs. WOOOHOOOO!!!

Before (Nov 2009):



See that outfit? Long gone! The pants (size 22) were given away in the first batch of wardrobe cleansing back in the summer. I could almost pull them off WITHOUT unbuttoning them! I was able to wear the green shirt (XL size BTW) little longer as long as I tucked it in. I finally gave it away to a friend when the darting in the front didn't sit right on me. And I loved that shirt...

Now:



I'm now in a size 16 pants...really, my waist is a size 14 but my hips are 16, so I wear 16 with a really good belt. And all of my XL shirts are gone - this is a large.

1 year = 50 lbs = size 22 to a size 14/16

Not bad for a girl who can't find the time to exercise. ;-)

Anne

I agree. I actually have a waist now! Now if I can just get rid of these thunder thighs.....then I could fit into my size 14's! ;-)

Thank you x
