Wow. Could you tell me what your focus was in the first four weeks? Did you walk? Eat smaller portions? Seems obvious, but I am just getting started.

Thanks. Kelly

Welcome to the forum Kelly!! :D:D

My focus the first few weeks was learning what an 'average' portion size was and learning how to deal with the limited calories. Water is very important too - I think the forumula for that is 1/2 your total body weight = how many ounces you should drink. or AT LEAST 64oz a day.

I also set mini goals for myself when I was exercising. I started out doing only about 1/3 of a mile every couple of days. I'd add a block or two each week until I made it to the 2 miles a day that I can do now. After about a month of walking, I added some strength exercises and yoga to the walking.

I track everything on Spark: weight, inches, caloies, exercise & water.


Hope that helps! ;):D

lol.. yes, I just can't help myself!
 
Great Progress :) And a good idea of taking the pictures in the same clothes! So.. I have to ask what are you doing with clothes? I still have the hardest time! I soo want to go out shopping but I don't want to spend money on clothes that will fit me for maybe a month ! I usually wear it big till I just can't stand it anymore then go buy another round to wear for a few months :)

Keep it up you look awesome, never give up :)

I am 5' 6".
I've always carried my weight pretty well, like you said - thank god!
I know it's cliche but I have a big bone structure. My feets, fingers and shoulders are huge.

That is so terrific!!!! I have been a reader of your weight loss journal and have really enjoyed it. I don't post much, but I have really been rooting for you. I am so happy that you got to your goal. You look amazing in your latest picture. You can really see the weight coming off. Congrats! :)
