Rachel's Journal

Hi! It's been literally months since I've posted! Anyway, I'm down to 149 now, which puts me at a healthy BMI for the first time in forever. I'm gonna post pics tonight showing where I was at the start and where I am now (I'd call them before/after pics but I still want to get to 135, so they're before/during pics).
 
It's nice to hear from you again! We're both 14 lbs from our goal weight, which a few months ago would've seemed a lot for me but now I can really see it happening! :D

It's not really a before and after cause I'm not done yet, so we'll call it a before and during. Before is 186 pounds in May 19th of 2011. During is 149 pounds December 25th (Christmas present to myself) of 2011. 7 months in! 2nd set of pics are close ups of the same ones, slightly better quality.

You look amazzzing! :D :) And I am sooo jeaouls of your ability to run decently...unfortunately, though I love sports, running has always been the one thing I would LOVE to be able to do...and can't...mental block against it I think! :p
 
40 pounds

Hey! I know it's been like a month since I've been on, but I've been really busy filling out more applications and whatnot. This is my final semester of undergrad (four years went by so fast, I still feel like a freshman) and it's probably going to be my busiest semester yet. I'm working on a new study, I'm going to a psychology convention in Amsterdam in March, and then I'm turning right back around and presenting at one in Utah in April. I've still somehow found time to work out and I finally hit
40 POUNDS!
186- 146 since May 19th, 2010. I still have 11 left to go before I hit my goal but guys, I'm so happy! I can feel 135, it's right around the corner. I know it's just gonna get harder as I get closer, but I'm really hoping to get there at least by May (I graduate May 6th) if not a little sooner. So excited!
I'm shopping for bikinis online right now! Good luck to everybody else!
 
It's great to hear that you've done so well! I can't wait to get a new bikini! Also, May is a great goal, plenty of time! You can finish this out, you already look great though & I can't imagine working on top of my crazy schedule this semester! My hat goes off to you.
