Update: I haven't posted in a while but I am sitting at 144 and have bought a size 6 jeans! I promise to get some pics up soon. Thank you for your motivation! I have really been needing it. Plateaus SUCK!!
I have been one of those "lurkers" from afar. I love this site and all your motivation and inspiration. It is now time for me to share because if I can do this ANYONE can.
A quick recap of me: I officially started my lifestyle change in march or april 08. I have my weight documented from January 08.
January 08- 172
October 08- 149
By cutting out *most* fast food and a lot of alcohol (thanks college!) and working out at least 4 days of week I have gone from a size 12 to a size eight. A side note I realized last night as I bought my first size 8 jeans.. in 8th/9th grade I was a size 16. I am 1/2 my size! (and a great support system of parents, boyfriend, best friends, mentor.. pretty much everyone in my life!)
I have a goal size and weight in my mind but I am taking it all one day at a time. I see this as a great halfway mark.
So thanks for all your inspiration on this forum!
I attached some pics; hopefully I can add some full body shots so you can actually see there is a difference!
I am not sure how to embed them into the post.. ??
