Weight Release Journey Reprise: I'm Getting There

I know there are some of you who were really into my blog series Weight Release Journey. The journey has never stopped, but me writing about it did because I was just soooo busy last year. I have made tremendous progress and I am now more than halfway to my goal. When I started this blog I was a size 18 approaching a size 20. I am now a solid size 16. My goal is to get down to a size 12. I am not a small woman. I have big bones and because of that there has to be a 30 lb. difference in my weight for my dress size to go up or down. I have another 40-50 lbs. to release before I get to my goal size. Here are some pics of where I've been in the past and were I am currently:

2006 - Aprox 250 lbs.



2007 - Day before college graduation. 275 lbs. This is the point where I said "fuck this fat girl shit" and also when the serious health problems started to kick in.



2010 - May Aprox. 230-240 lbs. I had become a vegan at this point and had lost a great deal of weight, but it kept fluctuating between 220-240 lbs.



2010 - July Aprox. 215-220 lbs. I stayed here for a while, but I gained a little weight over the holidays.



Which is why I took this picture in January of this year. I had to drop those holiday pounds right quick. It didn't take long though. Aprox. 215-220 lbs.



And here I am as of 9/9/2011 Aprox 190-200lbs.








Now I have to hurry up and drop the rest of this weight because I'm going to be in the public eye a lot. I'm a singer and even though my voice alone will sell albums & singles, I'm sure that if I got my measurements back down to oh let's say 40-28-40 I'll be able to sell a lot more. Well, not necessarily. Adele has the best selling album in the US this year so maybe my music will be just enough, but that's too expensive of an experiment to for me to conduct. I'm in the home stretch now. Through it all I shall succeed!

SN: I know some of you probably picked up on the fact that I'm guessing my weight. Well I'm not a stickler for numbers when it comes to this. Ihave an ideal size I'd like to be, but the number is just not really that important. People put too much emphasis and getting down to a particular weight and don't take bone size and density & muscular structure when losing excess weight. Plus my scale is broken anyway and I can think of a whole lot better ways to spend $20.00 like gas for my car, lol. As long as I can see that I'm getting smaller I'm good. And don't even get me started on counting calories! That's a blog for a another day.
