I kicked my scale’s butt this week, and not in the usual, I weigh so much it wants to cry kind of way. My first thought when I saw my weigh-in was “Holy Crap!” And then WHOOHOO! I lost 4.8 pounds for a grand total of 158.4 pounds gone. Of course, I’m still a few pounds over my lowest weight of last summer, and still have 14.5 pounds to go, but I’m heading in the right direction again. I give my recent addiction to whole wheat couscous all the credit. 
(Oh and you guys, of course!!!!)
Not to toot my own horn again, but check me out! I was so excited with my weigh-in I had to share these pics of my new outfit that I wore to work yesterday:
Look! My hips are finally wider than my waist! And check out those collar bones! Of course, I’m sucking the tummy in, but the point is that I can actually suck it in now…before, it was a lost cause! Side note: I have my mouth shut because if I left it open, my breath would probably cover my face – it was so cold!
The best part is that the entire outfit cost only about 22 dollars plus tax, 35 with the shoes. The skirt is from Wal-Mart (size 12) and I got the shirt on sale at Lane Bryant last week at a great sale price. Even better is that it’s in the smallest size they carry! I will get out of that store completely one day!
So overall, today has been a fairly decent day and I’m in a pretty good mood. I hope Tuesday has been beautiful for everyone!
Congrats on the great WI with the awesome loss!!! You look great. Keep up the good work, you know it can be done!

are you lightening your hair these days or something?
Aww, you guys are so sweet! Thank you!
Shawna, people keep asking me that, but I’m really not! It’s au naturel. I’ve never permanently dyed my hair and haven’t even used the temporary stuff in at least ten years!
Gosh Pamela, you look so pretty. I love the outfit, and very cute shoes. You’re really doing good. Congrats on a great loss!

Thank you!!
So happy for your success. FWIW, I think you may already be out of Lane Bryant sizes, judging by the fit of your blouse. I bet you could fit a women’s large, even.
