Lose the Freshman 15: Low riding with weight loss

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

dailylog28Yesterday was the perfect day to wear one of my favorite mini dresses, I thought. I love pairing dresses with leggings and just rocking it out. But oh boy—did something unexpected happen. Talk about wardrobe malfunction.
 
From the time it took me to walk from the student union to the library, only one building over, my leggings actually started to fall down. By the time I got to the bathroom the readjust, I looked in the mirror and the crotch of my trusty leggings had actually fell beneath the hemline of my mini dress.
 
I was horrified. Low riding is definitely not my style. But then it hit me—my body is changing so much that clothes are literally falling off me!
 
So for today’s weigh-in, I lost 1.5 lbs. The number may not seem like much, but the muscle tone I’m getting from all my workouts is really paying off. I wish we were measuring in inches as well, because I swear to you, my middle is decreasing— Obviously since my leggings can’t stay up anymore.Picture1
 
But also, this is a huge milestone for me. My total weight loss is now 11 lbs, not only entering me into the negative double digits, but finally bringing me out of the 200 lb-zone. In fact, I now weigh around what I did before being stalked last semester. Its almost like that whole situation didn’t affect me at all anymore, and it’s a good feeling to finally shed my one souvenir from that experience.
 
I’d say an accomplishment like this deserves a reward. How about some new leggings?
