Hollee's Weight Loss Success Story ((in progress))

I keep writing something and deleting it.  I've done this 3x so I'm just going to make this short and simple.  A number for accountability sake, and because I often forget where I was last week or the week before.  I thought I hadn't lost any weight since my last post, but looking back, I see that I have. I'm 15.8 pounds down since beginning this reset (-126.4 from highest weight).  

 I thought I hadn't lost much weight on vacation, until I just came back here to see that my last post said I was down 8.2 pounds.  Today I'm down 12 pounds in the last two weeks, so I will call it a win! I wasn't terrible on the first half of the vacation, as I mentioned our friends are fairly healthy.  We were pretty good with food, until we had a seafood night on our last night there.  I felt pretty good about it, but then I spent the weekend with my friend from out of the country and we drank most of our calories.  Fun Fact:  Did you know that drinking alcohol while dieting slows progress because your body works harder to metabolize alcohol, therefore slowing fat loss?  (Yes I do still drink, but have made a conscious effort to drink far less over the last few weeks.) All in all, I will take a pretty decent loss over the last week to mean I did SOMETHING right. The left photo was taken the Friday before we began our diet, and on the right was taken today.  For me, seein
