I did it!

So, I had a goal that I set for myself a while ago. The goal was to lose 60 pounds by Christmas. So I cute my calories WAY back and gave up sugars and flours. I only shopped in the produce section of the grocery store. If it didn't grow on a tree or in the ground, I didn't eat it. No caffeine, no soda, just a minimum of a gallon of water a day. I literally had to put myself in a bubble and commit my life to this "diet" until Christmas. 

Well, I was able to do it successfully. Even through all the holidays, I never cheated or treated myself. I was 100% on target 100% of the time! 

Well, hard work and dedication paid off! (who knew?!  haha)

This is me before :

And this is me now:

SO what was my total weight loss at Christmas.....

80 POUNDS!!

That's right! I lost 80 pounds! 

I guess it turns out that when you put your mind to something, and totally commit yourself, then goals can be achieved, and in my case.... SURPASSED!
