1 YEAR!

Wow, never in a million years did I think I would have made it an entire year on Weight Watchers. But, I also naively thought I would have been at goal by now, not realizing how difficult this journey would be.

I know, you are all dying to know what my final weight loss has been at the 1 year mark. Drum roll please...

I've lost 39.5 lbs!!!!

I started this journey at 216 lbs and now weight 176.5 lbs! I started of wearing between a 16 and 18 size, and now I'm in a 12! It's just unreal. Size 10, I'm coming for ya!

Darn you that half pound! I even thought about lying and just saying that I've lost 40 lbs, but I just couldn't do it, it goes against everything WW has instilled in me. Hopefully next week I'll break that barrier.

Here are some other fun facts... er, measurements:

Arms: -2.25"
Hips: -5.5"
Bust: -4"
Waist: -6"
Thighs: -3"
Dress Size: -4 sizes!

Never would I have thought how difficult this would be, but I never thought I could feel this good again. I feel good, I feel sexy again and the best part is buying new clothes since I had ZERO clothes that fit!

I actually have another great reason for buying clothes as well, I got a new job!!! Kinda. I've been happy where I was at, but my old manager at my old job in which I was a Contractor called a month or so back saying they had a full-time position for me! I was so excited because I've never been happier than I was in that Graphic Design role. I feel like I will have more room to grow and will develop better relationships for my career path. Needless to say I am beyond excited to start on Monday!

Here's to next week and only 16.5 lbs to go!!!
