I had to take this picture, because these pants are finally lose in the waist and I couldn't even put them on 2 months ago (they look big, but the waist is small). This shirt, I could never button, I would just wear it over white shirts. I can button it and there is tonz of room. The sleeves used to be tight, now, lots of room! Yay!
I have lost another 4 pounds since I last posted. So, since this is working I will finally tell you my size of jeans when I began this journey :) I WAS a WHOPPING size 18 or so. I am now comfortably wearing 14's. My hope is to be in my 12's by Labor Day. I have lost a total of about 22 pounds. I have 19 to go until I'm at my goal. My goal is to be in a size 10. I've never been below that. I'll be elated to reach that goal and if I continue to lose, it would be beyond my wildest dreams. I am so excited to be in clothes that I have not worn in 3 years! I LOVE the things I'm eating now. It's so simple. I do miss cooking all kinds of things like spaghetti and enchilada's and will do so once I reach my weight and I will do it healthy, but until then, I have to be strict about the amount of carbs, fat, and calories I'm taking in and it's easier to do it with the menu's I've created for myself. I posted some of what I'm doing on my last post. I have hit a sort of plateau, but I'm confident things will begin to change in the next week or so.
I told myself I will have a cheat every 10 pounds, so over the 24th of July, my SIL made the most amazing Pumpkin Cobbler in the dutch oven. Let me tell you, I indulged! It was so amazing! Next month, it's roasting marshmallows with the kiddo's. I can't wait!
The other thing I'm pretty excited about is how my exercising has improved. Running has become so much easier and instead of 11:30 miles, I'm running 10:30 miles and even 10 minute miles on good days! I can't tell you how great it feels! When I see these kinds of improvements, it makes it so much easier to take better care of myself.
I will try to update around Labor Day and tell you my progress!
Do you see that bicep? It's beginning to show. LOL! There is a small bump :)

Congratulation Jenny!! You look Amazing. You are such an inspiration. I continue to battle my weight as I have all my life and I know it will always be a battle. I wish I could eat as healthy as you. Keep up the good work, you will be to your goal in no time. Let me know if you ever want to meet up and go for a run, that would be fun!
Thats awesome! You look sooo good! Cant wait for camping!
wow Jen! I can't stop smiling! You are awesome and make me happy that you are so happy and on your way to where you want to be!! How many of us can say that!! It feels so good to just think about it!! I can't believe you liked the pumpkin cobbler that much. Wouldn't you have rather had 30 redvines or something?
