Dressing Room Surprise

I have really packed on the pounds the past 2 years. I was basically either pregnant or nursing the past two years. Therefore dieting was never really a priority/reality for me. In July I started getting serious about losing weight when my size 18W pants started feeling tight. So for about 4 weeks I tried Nutrisystem. I lost some weight on it. Once school started I stopped doing Nutrisystem and just watched what I ate. Plus I was getting lots of exercise coaching volleyball. I lost quite a bit from July to December. When we returned from Christmas break we started the Biggest Loser competition at school. This is the final week before our final weigh in. I am not going to win the money because other people have lost more weight than I have in the 9 weeks. I have lost a total of 12 pounds so far. Hoping to make it 15 by Friday.

However, I do feel like the biggest loser. I just figured this weekend how much I have lost over the course of 7 months. I have lost 38 pounds!!! Pretty amazing. I am smaller now than I was before I got pregnant with Aiden which was 3 years ago. So I have lost all my baby weight!!!!!! Another thing that was awesome this weekend. I bought a size 14 pair of capris. Again I haven't been that size in 3 years. I could not believe that they zipped up and I could still breath.I was so excited that they even fit that I called Justin to tell him while I was in the dressing room. He didn't really seem too excited for me. You know men they don't know what clothing sizes mean to us women. So I ended up calling my best friend to tell her. She was excited for me. (Thanks Sleez)I was so proud to wear my size 14 pants yesterday. I felt like telling everyone I saw. Of course everyone would have looked at me like I was crazy...but who cares!

I am hoping to hit my goal weight by the time summer rolls around. If I hit my goal weight that means I will have lost a total of 57 pounds!!!
