Can I brag? :D

I have been trying to loose weight for several weeks now and I've finally lost 11 LBS!! :D I weighed 155 when I started now I weight 144. My real goal is 125-128 around there. I am so happy! :D I now fit into my old size 10 jeans/shorts/etc. I also fit into hollister which I've been wanting to fit into better for a long time. I could actually fit into some of the sweatshirts or sweaters there but the T-shirts and blouses, etc. now fit me and they are not snug at all. :) Which means I could probably fit into alot of things I couldn't before. I just had to brag. :p Thanks for listening.

congratulations!!!
WAY TO GO, ALYSSA!!!! I know how exciting that is! LOL, when I lost weight, I too was very excited that I could fit into Hollister. They do have very cute, and trendy stuff there. ;)

That's awesome. I hope you are doing it in a safe and healthy way.

I agree Sarah, I actually used to hate that store but I think it was because I was jealous that I couldn't fit into the stuff. :o I used to be like "That store is WAY overpriced" but really it isn't, especially when things go on clearance. I went to the mall on Tuesday with my mom and she bought me all a sweatshirt for $28 on clearence along with 2 clearance t-shirts for $13 each. It's really not that bad, I wouldn't buy some of the clothes full-priced like the $50 sweatshirts that's a little bit much. Abercrombies new store Rhuel is so overpriced, I haven't bought anything in there yet. The sweatshirts are like $69.:rolleyes:

Yes, trust me I am. I would never do things that wasn't safe. Plus my mom is helping me alot. She makes me salads instead of pizzas, I now order smaller portioned meals at fast-food places, etc. I go on my treadmill alot too, I am also thinking about joined Retro Fitness gym since my sister and me can go together. I loose alot of calories at work to walking around an amusement park all day. ;)

GREAT JOB ALYSSA!!!:D It's okay to brag, losing weight isn't easy. You should be very proud of yourself! ;)

WTG, Allyssa. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/image.../thumbs_up.gif
