I got two size 8 dresses today. Four months ago I was a size 16!

That is fantastic! I would love to be a size 8 in four months. It's good to know that hard work pays off.

Wow! All of these are so great and inspiring. My fave thread.

I can do cat/cow!
I got choked up in front of my brand-new physical therapist.

I am one lucky miracle girl.

i FINALLY broke my 155 plateau that too me forever to get to. i was 151 today. I don't have a lot to lose as I'm 5'10, but it feels great nonetheless to get this last stupid stubborn fat off.

This is a small triumph:

So I've been on PB for over 3 weeks now and had good weight loss in the first two weeks but regained most of my weight on the weekends due to excessive drinking...summers are brutal for that.
Anyways, I had lost about 6 lbs after 2 weeks but regained, 3 over that weekend, so in two weeks in I had lost 3 lbs and was weighing 218 lbs (I was fairly happy with that).

So last week, I said I'd try to up the fat loss a bit. I IF'd and went into ketosis for a couple of days and worked out a bit more (lifting and walking, not cardio), but then when I weighed myself every day until that Friday, and the scale did not budge (was still 218).

So this weekend was more drinking (and a bit of cheating) because we had a few parties to attend. So come this morning, I told myself I wouldn't weigh myself (I would probably have gained 2-3 lbs and didn't want to see that) and I decided I'd try to do it weigh myself once a week (on Fridays) instead rather than getting depressed because the scale isn't budging.

But in the end, I caved in and weighed myself (twice to make sure). I was 213.5 lbs. I'd lost 4.5 lbs over the weekend. =)

A good little boost to start my week.

I'm shrinking out of my size 2s. I can't say that I EVER wore a 0. I went straight from kid's sizes to a 2.
My eyes no longer have that bruised, haven't slept in months look. I can actually go to work without concealer and not have people ask me if I slept the night before.

All of my vegetarian friends now know that I eat cows and pigs.

Naiadknight, this is really interesting! What do you think caused the appearance of your under-eyes to change?
