SIZE 10

My Take For Life Diet continues on. I down about 20 pounds now and I was finally brave enough to try on a size 10 pair of pants- and guess what?...

THEY FIT!

I am wearing pants today I have not been able to wear in over a year. :)

HIP HOP HOORAY!

I still have more weight to go, but it is coming off!

I am super excited and thank you to everyone for supporting me.

HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL!!
