Some pictures
Oh this is me filling out a size 2x shirt. I look tired...
Look at how tiny Zoey looks. I was so scared I was going to break the Ferris wheel, and it was going to go rolling down the park! 
This is today: Excuse the wet hair and the goofy smile, I had endorphin high. I had just read the scale at 212. It was another bag of sugar. My husband likes my new exercise pants. So we were laughing at that. That's me rocking a 1x tshirt, and it's baggy. 
Went down 2 bra sizes so far. From a 2xl to a L. I think those babies weighed 10Lbs a piece.
A Bag of Sugar
An introduction, my name is Stephanie. I am 39 years old. At my heaviest point, I was 252 pounds. Thankfully, people are very kind when you are pregnant. I started reading Reddit because The Daily What got super lame, really fast. On Reddit, I keep seeing these posts stating NSV or SV, along with progress pics. I had no idea what these acronyms were. Non-scale victories or scale victories are what kept me reading Reddit. I thought to myself, wow that chick was fatter than me and look at her now, she looks great! ( I was fooling myself, I was that fat chick ) I lurked the Loseit Reddit for a long time.
Last October, a tv feel on my leg, and not one of those little skinny ones. It was one of those the bigger the better models of the late 90ies. Anyways, in June, I still had a slight bruise. I went to the doctor, and she ordered blood tests. After weighing in at 228 that day I was still scared. (When I was pregnant with Zoey, I was pre-diabetic. 2 Starbucks frapachinos didn't help that.) I decided that I would try to get my life in order and revisit the blood tests at a later date.
One day in August, we took the girls to the park to play, they saw a set up a steps leading up a side of the hill. Their daddy took them up and they went on an adventure. I sat on a bench and played Words with Friends, Candy Crush, or Ruzzle. I felt so ashamed of myself for not going up those steps. Penelope told me how much fun she had, and how she wanted to go on another adventure the next day. So determined, we went back and I pushed a little ridiculous umbrella stroller 1.5 up what I thought was the most steepest hill I have ever seen. Huffing and a puffing, stopping every 3 feet for water and a break. It must have been quite the scene. Thankfully, my husband is very supportive. I tell him, I hate you, why did you go up those steps yesterday... He told me one step at a time. Those words go with me everyday.
I have since revisited this hike, and realized just how far I have come...
The first time I realized I had lost 5 pounds, I picked up a bag of sugar from pantry. I tried carrying around. It was hard work. This is where I got the title A bag of sugar. Lots of love to every single person who has encouraged me.
Starting weight: 252
