One of my co-workers stopped me to tell me how good I look and how she can tell that I've lost a lot of weight! Yay!!! It felt so good for someone to finally notice my hard work!
So I got to thinking about it and I've 16.5 lbs. (as of yesterday) and I've only got about 7.5 lbs. to go to meet my first 10% goal. My overall weight loss goal is approx. 100 lbs. and so I've lost about 16.5% of my overall weight that I want to lose.
I've also decided to get real with you all. My Sparkpeople buddies (and some of my BBC) know my true weight but I don't think I've shared it with the rest of you.
I will put the ticker in this post and then in another permanent spot on my blog. It's really embarrassing for me (that I ever let myself get this big in the first place) but I hope that by me 'getting real' with myself that it will help someone else on their weight loss journey.
I am hopeful that I won't be at this weight for much longer. Then I can just be proud of how much weight I've lost! :)

Cool! You deserve many more!
Yay for you Jess!! Putting your weight down is liberating... just remember - its just a number that essentially means nothing - its all about how you look in clothes (my number was 248 when I started - now at 223)
YAY YOU!!
Thanks!
I think so too, Heather. I feel like I'm not hiding anymore and being totally real. It's a great feeling being honest with myself! :) And...I agree w/you on the clothes thing. My biggest goal overall is to just get healthy. The weight loss will be a bonus. :)
