So I decided to delete my other thread in the on topic section and post this here instead!
Here is my before. ( this is how I looked in December )
This is me in January.
This is me a taken a couple of days ago.
If I can get someone to take pictures of me or a big enough mirror I will take far away body shots - it's hard to take them yourself!
I'd love to tell you how much weight I've lost but I've chosen not to weigh myself at all in this process - in fear of becoming obsessive and weighing myself every hour!
However I can tell you that in December I wore a size 12 - and even a 14 in some pants. I started my weight loss journey January 4th. Today March 01, 2010 I'm sporting a size 7!
My goal is to get down to a size 2. I'm 5'0 and small boned so I think that's a reasonable goal!
Oh, and If you're wondering what I have done to lose this weight I follow this routine every day.
Stick to a 1200 calorie a day workout.
Lots of water and unsweetened tea.
High intensity work out 30 mins a day - sometimes 15 if I'm busy.
I plan on making a video of my workout that I've kind of self created so you can get a better idea of what I do. So far it's been extremely successful and I'm very proud of myself for thinking of these things on my own. I combine cardio with a lot of aerobic exercise in between - along with strength training while running in place, jumping squats...etc. 2 months ago I could barely do 2 push ups - now I'm able to do at least 20 real push ups in a row!
What's also really fantastic and interesting is I had a lot of stretch marks in 2009 - even all the way into December however, they have all DISSAPEARED now - I mean GONE....no white marks nothing just gone.There are maybe a couple really really faded ones on my sides but you would have to put your face right up close and squint to see them! Since I started this routine I have been taking daily vitamins...rubbing scar gel on them, as well as a topical Vitamin E lotion. I can't believe I didn't notice until last night when I was showing - I was like wait a second....I couldn't believe it - I ran and showed the boyfriend!
Hopefully you will see more pictures within the next month!
