Haha it was so scary to finally do the Ombre but I love it! Okay I'll add you to the Low carb board. I already have Kattie and then my irl friend Amanda on there so we can all pin low carb or motivation stuff on there, or just look if you don't wanna pin to it!

Thank you Love! <33 I'm finally excited about my loss because I can really see it now, I can't wait to see what I look like at 20lb more gone, and then my ultimate goal of under 140!

Haha okay!! Even if you don't pin, I'll keep pinning meal ideas as I come across them

Thank you Love!! I'm definitely happy I took the plunge. I decided 2013 will be a year of change for me, starting with my hair!

So this morning I didn't have time to do Insanity and I really want to start doing two work outs a day, so I did the 30 day shred this morning since it's only 25minutes.

Well the last time I did it, I used two 3lb weights per hand (so 6lb in each hand) and last night I bought 8lb thinking it wouldn't be that BIG of a difference.


But oh, it was. My arms and legs are dead now.

Omg, you're a stud. I can't even finish one workout with 3lb weights without being dead for days! LOL

I'm just hoping my motivation stays up!   I'll kick myself and be so down on myself I know if I'm not under 160 by the time Seth gets home and we're getting close now, so I'm doing everything I can to make it happen, lol.

You can definitely do it! I bet with seeing the weight comparison pictures you will NOT lose motivation! The difference is huge and totally motivating.

Ah, thank you. <333

You ladies are going to be the ones to keep me accountable!!

Which, I have a slight dilemma and I'm really not sure what to do here.

I bought a bra in October, 36D. Which typically would be tight and then loosen out after a few times of wearing/washing. But nope, it fit me perfect on the third clasp from the get go.

So, it's Victoria's Semi-Annual Sale and I wish I didn't even know that.   But I want to buy a couple bras. Should I try a 34D and see how it fits or just stick to the 36D? I've never in my life been smaller than a 36 band, like I remember being in 6th grade and getting a 36B, then the next year getting a 36C, and then the next year a 36D and that's where I stayed (with my weight gain though I was up to a 38 DD  ).

I would only purchase the 34 band if it fits comfortably on loosest clasp, if snug on loosest it may not ever fit right, ya know?
