Things are going really well!!! As of Saturday, I've finally lost 50 lbs. (30 more to go)!
By the numbers:
I've gone from size 16/18 and 1X to size 9/10 and medium. (I've found that it's best for me to buy jeans in the juniors department because they have smaller hips and the height sizing fits better than petite. It SUCKS to be short!!) I actually bought a small, long sleeve App shirt last weekend, which was really, really exciting! (But, also kinda scares me...will there be clothes that fit me when I'm 30 lbs. lighter? Obviously, yes, but I've read some stuff about how much of a problem vanity sizing has become!)
I am really pleased with my progress in 8 months and I'm still as enthusiastic about it today as I was when I started.
I am 100% confident in my ability to meet my goal and maintain. I now know exactly what works for me and what I need to do.
Exercise-wise, I am still running. I'm usually running about 5K per run (3.1 miles). The fastest I've run is 10:58/mile for 3 miles. Once in my parents' neighborhood (at 5:20 a.m.!) and once in Hickory (at 7:15 a.m.!). It appears that I'm faster in the mornings! Probably because it's cooler and I've just woken up and haven't had too much going on to make me tired. My next goal is to get to 10 minutes/mile.
I'm planning to start P90X in October!
I haven't taken any pictures in my "standard outfit," but I do have a good picture of me, mom, and dad at the App/ECU game (and an old picture for comparison).

And, finally, I chopped off all my hair yesterday, because I was totally over it.
Picture isn't the best, but you get the idea! So far, I love it!
