I DID IT!!!

I am SO happy that I can finally write this post....

I DID IT!!! I have finally reached my goal weight! 150 pounds! I lost 87 pounds!!! I am so excited! It has been a really long journey, and has taken me a really long time to get here! Several of you have followed me from my very first, embarrassing post (you can read here. http://ali-fattofabulous.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-journey-begins.html ) to this post. I want to say thank you so much for the advice, compliments, and encouragement you have all given me along the way! I do not think I would have been able to do this without this blog and without all of my friends and family supporting me along the way. Losing weight is not easy, but it helps when you have people behind you cheering you on. I appreciate you all so much! So here is a before and after picture...



For all of you out there reading this, that think you can't do it, YOU CAN!!!! Just don't give up. It took me almost 2 years, but I never gave up. I am a different person than I was 2 years ago. The person I was two years ago was a sad, depressed, lazy, shy individual. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. I hated myself. Today, I am a much healthier, happier, more confident, more outgoing, more energetic person. I am loving my life right now!

I have actually set some new goals for myself. I will post more on those later, but right now I am just happy to be able to say, "I DID IT!!!" Thanks again for reading and cheering me on as I WENT from FAT TO FABULOUS!!! :):)

P.S. Also, I did WIN the Biggest Loser competition at Fun 2B Fit! :)
