Awesome job! You can really tell the difference and seem to be doing fantastic. Keep up the good work!

I've hit my goal and im trying to maintain and loose another 5lbs or so very slowly so I have been buying new smaller clothing like crazy. I figure it will keep me concious of my weight. I've already invested way to much money into a thinner me to go back, and have all these new clothes sitting around that I can't wear.

I'm haven't gotten up the courage yet to get rid of all my big clothes. I just have so much and some of them are very nice. I feel very uncomfortable when I wear them now because they do not fit, and I have absolutely no desire to "fit" into them again, but for some reason I'm having a lot of trouble just giving them away...

Advice? Do you feel better since giving the clothes away?

I can tell you Thursday for sure. I contacted a battered women emergency shelter about all my clothing. The director when I was listing some of the items was so excited about it she is coming personally to pick up my 9 yard bags full of them. I was sad sorting and packing them all for final pick up yesterday. I sorted them into sleepwear, bras, dresses, summer clothes, pants, winter shirts, sweater etc etc. They are all lined up labeled in the garage for sending away.

It is some what hard because MANY of the things are designer labels, very pricey formal dresses, business suits, pants and such. It is giving away my security blanket but at the same time it is an affirmation of I WILL NOT GO BACK I WILL NOT NEED THESE AGAIN. It is a bit frightening to be giving it all away and a bit freeing that I am making my choice by this move to never again go back to the way I was.

The more I thought about it the more I saw I was keeping them because inside I was thinking I would fail and need them again. So I told that part of me to f--- off that it would not happen and now to prove it to myself bye bye fattie clothes! Plus I am feeling glad I KNOW they will help other women in a time of need. They will have stylish clothing for job interviews, for gaining confidence, for moving ahead with their life changes like I am moving ahead with mine. Sort of a full circle thing.

Hopefully that all makes sense. When you are ready to let go of them you will!

Adding a face compare so people can see double chins can go away. No make up in the second pic so please ignore the blemishes. Also the second pic I snapped tonight on my web cam so not as good of lighting or quality.

I know I was saying that to my husband yesterday putting stuff I bought last month into bins because they are to loose now. I suspect though my rate of losing will slow a bit now but I know as long as I keep going I will get there.

The amount of loose skin that is showing up is getting a bit frightening but I know some of it will tighten up (at least that is my hope).

I also now am able to do 4 miles in 45 minutes which is a new mile stone! I got home told my husband my time was 45 minutes then flopped into a chair and chugged a sports bottle of water. I was soooooore the next day but felt awesome. Now I have done it 3 more times and it is getting easier soon I will have to increase the distance again which as weird as it may sound I am really excited about it. Here's to hoping by mid August I will have up my -100lbs pics!

Just an update I am now 82lbs down and lost 12lbs and 2.4% body fat in June. I am now adding mixed martial arts class 3 times a week and a bit more weight training to try and be able to post my minus 100lbs pics by mid August. I also had to go buy medium work out pants which made me VERY happy!!

Hey incredible progress!! You look pretty!

Too bad you had to give your clothes away , not that charity is a bad thing! Lucky me though because where I live getting clothes altered from a tailor is really really cheap! So I'll continue using my clothes when I slim down!

Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see you reach your target.
