{Taken this morning. No, I'm not wearing make-up. Yes, I dress like that for work.}Never in all my life did I think I would be at this weight again. But here I am. 20 pounds lighter than I was just 2 months ago when I began this weight loss journey with Medifast.
Twenty pounds. Let's just let that soak in for a second.
Obviously, I was excited to reach my second weight loss goal yesterday. When I began this journey wanting to lose 30 pounds, I thought it sounded like a dream. An overwhelming dream. I remember thinking "Is 30 pounds even a realistic goal for me?" Honestly? That's like losing a toddler.
But instead of getting down about it, I decided to stay positive. I just wanted to take it 10lbs at a time. Just 10 pounds. Sounds much better, doesn't it? Much more achievable.
And here I am, 2/3 through this "10 pounds at a time" journey. It's becoming real. Now? I only have 10 pounds to go. Just 10 pounds until I reach my final goal. Wow. That is crazy.
I am excited. I am proud of myself for doing this and sticking with it. I am happy that I am getting healthy. I feel wonderful. Gone are the compliments like "you look good... for having two kids." Those compliments? They have been replaced with "you look good." Period.
And that's exactly what I wanted.
Thank you so much for sticking with me through this everyone. I'm completely serious when I say that you have helped me more than you know. You've made me feel accountable. To stick with it even when I wanted to order that cheeseburger {with extra large fries, of course.} To skip that 2nd glass of wine. {That? I probably haven't been doing. What?}
Seriously. From the bottom of my heart- thank you.
These jeans? Well, they'll be mine soon. I just may have to wait until after Brynn's 1st birthday party to actually order them. {Or else some poor kid won't get a party favor.}
Thank you so much for voting everyday!!

20 lbs in 2 months is amazing! You & the other Medifast girls are really motivating me to lose weight after this baby. I just hope I can keep that motivation going.
I'm jealous of your work attire and you look great!

You are such an inspiration!!! I want to go home and throw all the junk food away and get my butt in gear!

pss- i decided i'm just gonna leave obnoxious comments all day. what? it's slow here.
I would expect nothing less, Kac.
You look AWESOME, and should be very proud of yourself!!!!
I just ordered Medifast for me today. I only got the 2 week package. Thought maybe I'd give it a try to see if I can lose 10 lbs within the next month. I'm a small girl already (112lbs) but I CAN'T. STOP. EATING. FOOD!!!!!! Even if I tell myself to not eat this, or not eat that, I find myself munching on the bad stuff anyway. So, I hope I can stick to the Medifast!!!!!!
That is awesome!!!! I wish i had your motivation. Im struggling with reaching my 1st 10lb goal.i will do so well and then just screw things up. So glad that you are doing so wonderfully at meeting your goals!!!!
Wow you look fantastic!! Congrats! I wish I could lose even just 5lbs. I'm SO bad. Ha ha.
Hot Mama! Way to go girl! I mailed Ace's party invites out and everyone is LOVING them!
Congratulations! You are an inspiration! I am still working to lose all the weight I gained from pregnancy. It sure is hard, but the results are worth it!
You look amazing! You made me laugh when you said..."Is 30 pounds even a realistic goal for me?" Honestly? That's like losing a toddler. So true for me.... My daughter weighs 30lbs. I am down 9 lbs working toward 30:) You are such an inspiration! Happy mothers day weekend!
Way to go!! Small attainable goals is always the best strategy :) :) :)
Wow!!
Congratulations!!!
You look terrific!!
