I've mentioned that I'm losing some weight and I say I'm following a Keto plan but truthfully all I'm doing is cutting out carbs and sugars. I don't measure or count calories but I do try to limit the carb intake to about 15 to 20 carbs a day or less.
So far I've been pretty successful and to my delight I've lost 50 pounds since March and 64 pounds overall. I am striving to get to my goal of 145-ish by my birthday in March.

| Not sure what my weight is here but it has to be close to my highest. Don't know why I would take such a picture in the first place or why I kept it! |
I like this one better. It is from September.
Of course with losing that amount of weight, my clothes are starting to get too big. I know I have a way to go so I don't want to buy too many things and as many overweight people can relate, there are clothes in my closet that span several sizes for that "just in case I lose" time. However, the weather is starting to get chilly here and most of the pants I have are leggings which are made of pretty thin material. The other day I went to Target and picked up a couple of pair of jeans to try, one in a size 16 and one in a size 14. I was outright thrilled when the 14's fit the best.
When I went to return the 16's I decided to try a 12 on just for kicks and while I could get the zipper up, they were just a bit too tight. As I was walking through the mall I saw that Old Navy was having a one-day sale of jeans at half off so of course I had to check that out. I found a pretty pair in a lavender color that I loved so I brought them to the checkout. I remembered that I had some discount points that were expiring so I figured I ought to use them. Look what happened when I did:

| Note the name of the jeans: Pop-Color Rockstar Jeans! |
That's right, a big zero! I paid naught for these pretty jeans!

Looks a little more dramatic side by side doesn't it? Now, I might have to get a new top to wear with these pants but I have two more certificates for Old Navy so maybe I can score again!
