Weight Watchers Update

19.4 pounds - hold two 10 pound bags of potatoes and that's pretty much how much weight I've lost. When you feel how heavy those are, can you imagine carrying those around day in and down out, well apparently that's what my body has been doing for years. Yes, I still need to lose a lot more potatoes... uh pounds but this first 20 is a real eye opener. 

I think this first 20 which I will officially hit... HOPEFULLY on Sunday, has really set in place my healthy lifestyle change. Yes it can still be hard but it's not as hard as those first few weeks of change. Now I know what my triggers are, now I know what food works for me and what doesn't, now I know what to do to stay on track and now I have the tools to do so. Everyday I have to be aware of what I'm eating, everyday I need to be accountable, everyday I need to remind myself that this is not a short term fix, this is for life.

So for all those on a healthy lifestyle journey (Diet is a dirty word on this blog) stay strong and remember everyday we get to start all over. We get to set new goals and we get to improve our lives just one spoonful and one pound at a time.    

Real Mama, Real Style - The Plus Size Way Numero Dos

Happy Monday Everyone!
 So I have a laundry issue, I do it last minute, or I wear everything I have until I've run out of clothes and this morning was one of those days. Good thing I just so happened to have my favorite dark wash JMS bootcut Jeans washed and this old shirt in the closet. I didn't think it was going to fit me but dropping 12.6 pounds helped with the fit. Yes that's right, I LOST 12.6 POUNDS!!! I went to Weight Watcher's yesterday for weigh in day and I dropped another 4.6 pounds! So here I am showing off the once snug shirt. Thank you Weight Watchers for the new and improved Points Plus plan, you've got a winner with this one.

Let me know what you think, I know it's not the most stylish outfit but it's comfy and still appropriate for work!
