Recent purchases...

From angryyoungandpoor.com:



all this & 7 band pins for $54.43 including shipping because I had $16.70 worth of punk rock points saved up along with $5.00 off from the 10% Halloween coupon code! NICE!

From Sourpussclothing.com:

I got 15% off using a coupon code I found! I swear I will no longer buy ANYTHING online that does not have a coupon code. Anyway, I needed a new overnight bag with a little class and I've always wanted a Fred Perry! SO YAY! Only $62.00ish including shipping. I win.

All in all, I am extremely satisfied with my bag purchase, although I AM worried I will only use the Fred Perry bag since it IS so badass :/

Also, 179.4 today FINALLY. I was at the same weight for like 3 weeks. Pretty lame... Anyway, back on the ball. I am going to go super hard in November. I am beginning November with ALL of my schoolwork done. I am also going to start exercising three days a week. YESSSSS. I want to lose 12 pounds this month, meaning I will be around 167 by months end. Hopefully 12 more in December putting me at around 155 for the new year, which is above goal, but only by 6 pounds :) Think I can do it!? I DO!

Cherry Culture Order...

Just ordered $40.00 worth of stuff from cherryculture.com. I used a 10% off coupon code (saved $4.70) and got free shipping :D Yay!
Anyway, here is what I got...

FOREVER 21 WANTS....

New Socks...

Here are my new socks from Forever 21... How do you suggest I wear them? I also got two new pairs of patterned tights and a pair of fuzzy striped knee socks! The fuzzy socks are SO comfy and awesome for lounging around!





I love them, but I don't know if I will have the confidence to wear them out ;/ What shoes should I wear with them!? AHH CONFUSION!

Socks & New Coat...

Which socks look better --- the over-the-knee burgundy or the blue knee socks? I am thinking the blue.

VS.



Shirt: Target
Skirt, socks: Forever 21
Coat: h&m
Shoes: Hot Topic


ALSO! Here is my new winter coat! It is too big but I don't care... at least I will be able to wear chunky sweaters under it with no problem. What do you think?


I think I am going to add some buttons to the collar. It needs... something. What kind of scarf should I get?
Coat: Alloy

EXPENSIVE SHOES...

Jeffrey Campbell Rising Star Wedge
Just bought these for $125 on modcloth.com even though I am in no position to be spending that kind of money on shoes.
BUT AREN'T THEY BEAUTIFUL!?

Uggggghhhh 180.2

I am .2 pounds off goal, which isn't really a big deal, but I WANT TO BE OUT OF THE 180's ALREADY! It is more of a mental thing than anything, but I have still not seen a 17_ on the scale yet and it feels like I have been in the 180's for babylons.
...Patience, little Amanda, it will come...

I went shopping with Brett yesterday and got a new pair of jeans. They're black Levis... size 13 ;( but they fit really well, so that's good? I sewed them to make the legs tighter and they look absolutely perfect cuffed! I cannot wait until these bad boys are too baggy though.

Aside from that I just had an AWESOME salad at school. My boyfriend is awesome. Oh, and I bought my winter coat finally... I decided on this one:

MORE WANTS...

From Lulus.com:

New stufffffff!

Got my check from school so splurged a little on some stuff I wanted from Forever 21... (I like black. Shh...)











I am hoping all of the knee highs work out! I ordered two pairs of the navy ones (oops!) on accident... they better look cute!
I will post pictures once I get everything :)

American Apparel - Interlock High-Waist Skirt: $34.00

I WANT. I WANT. I WANT. I WANT.

Forever 21 wants...

Cowl Neck Sweater Tunic - $13.80
NEED THIS! I LOVE COWL NECKS!


V-Neck Long Sweater Top - $12.50
I think this is the perfect basic sweater-dress. I want it for when I drop another 20 pounds... I think it will look killer then! It also comes in several different colors. I am thinking of getting it in red, black, and brown.
(I weighed in at 180 today!! I will be out of the 180's soon!)


Classic Textured Tights - $6.80

I am going to re-post my dated goal weight list from livejournal in here:

10/15 - 180
10/22 - 177
10/29 - 175
10/31 - 173.5 (please body! I think this is around what I weighed on Halloween last year! I just wanna be close to that! You know what sucks? I still felt like shit then because I was only gaining... what is nice about now is I will have lost to get to that weight so I will feel way better! yay!)
11/01 - 173
11/08 - 171
11/15 - 168.5 (Yay! Back into the 160's!? HELL YEAH! I will be able to wear my favorite western shirt again! I have been SO pissed that shirt is so tight now)
11/22 - 165.5
11/29 - 163
12/01 - 162
12/08 - 160
12/15 - 157
EXERCISING BEGINS
12/22 - 155
12/29 - 152
01/01 - 149.5 (I WANT IT DAMMIT! DON'T TELL ME I CAN'T DO IT!)
I would love to begin the new year under 150. It would be a fresh start! I haven't been UNDER 150 (mind you, I was 151ish New Years 2007/2008), since November 2007. THAT WILL BE OVER THREE YEARS! And honestly, that sounds like a lot for a girl of my height, but I looked pretty decent at 149. Everyone always thought I weighed 135ish. SO SUCK IT, k? Well, no! Just be happy for me :)
01/08 - 147.5
01/15 - 145
01/22 - 143
01/29 - 141
02/01 - 140 (I have not weighed 140 since freshman year of high school and I will be graduating college in the spring. WHAT.THE.FUCK!?)
SCHOOL IS STARTING AGAIN SO NOT AS MUCH EXERCISE TIME ;/ WEIGHT LOSS WILL SLOW DOWN A LOTTTTTTTT.
02/08 - 139
02/15 - 137.5
02/22 - 136.5
03/01 - 135
03/08 - 133
03/15 - 131
03/22 - 129
03/29 - 128
04/01 - 127ish, which I would be VERY happy with. Ideally by May 31st I would like to get down to 120, but I will NOT bust my ass to do so. I look VERY cute in the 120's (which is evidenced by photos I found of myself in 8th grade. How could I not see how adorable I was!?) and 120 is just a dream I've had for myself on my birthday for years. If I weigh 120 on my birthday I will weigh... *DRUM ROLL PLEASE* less than Rose! AHHH! I have NEVER weighed less than Rose. That is not even as important to me as Rose & I looking a similar weight is. I've been wanting to not be the chubby/fat friend for SO long, and what better gift to give myself after GRADUATING COLLEGE WITH A DEGREE IN MATHEMATICS AND GETTING INTO GRADUATE SCHOOL AT 23 (YESSSSSSSSS) than something I've always wanted, which is not feeling inferior to Rose! I would be sosososo happy. And yes, I want to wear a tank top, which I have never done in front of Rose.
05/31 - 120 <3

& no, I do not feel I need to go lower than that. I will be happy in the 120's forever because I have been fat for so long... I really will be able to appreciate being a normal size! AHHH TO FIT INTO FOREVER 21 CLOTHES WITH NO ISSUE! What a dream! And it will be reality soon enough! I feel it in my bones... I am feeling SO good on this diet and I can't believe this will become reality! YES!

05/31 - 120. Total weight loss: 77 pounds

Birthday Dress...

Since I am in the process of losing weight, I know I will be down to my goal weight by my birthday (May 31). As such, I want to wear a really cute dress on my birthday to celebrate all of my progress!
