maaaaan, i seriously thought i was looking at my own body! we both have big boobs, hot legs, cute little feet, and a thicker midsection (complete with stretch marks, lol). yeah, you must be taller than me, because you don't look like 190
 
I'm assuming you must be a tall girl because you look like you weight about 150 and not 190.

Congratulations on the 10 lbs and I look forward to seeing updated pictures.
 
Wow you are VERY shapely!

When you hit your goal, you are so totally going to be a bombshell! Keep up the work!
 
I have a blog called 21 yrs old and battaling the big 200 - check it out. Its where I post all my updates. New pictures of my progress will be in 2- 3 weeks.
Thanks Everyone for your comments and support. :)
I am 5'6 ' Tall by the way. I carry all my weight in the middle to upper portion of my body. My side view has changed alot since I have lost the 10 - 15 lbs. Used to have a big pot stick out belly. Hopefully more exciting changes happen this month!

Inspiration!

So this morning I got up and got dressed found some things in my closet I have not worn forever. One of which was the shirt in the BEFORE pic at 205. Silk black ( beautiful shirt) So I put it on and then look at myself and realize that the buttons are done up and that it is big on me in all areas. Style of the shirt is to be a little big to begin with. So I came to work and looked at this blog and saw the shirt in that pic and then now... WOW I can not even believe the amount of room I have in this one. It was very motivating to see that much of a physcial change in my clothes. I am having a great day now. Thank you everyone for your inspiration. If you would like to know more about how I am losing the weight please visit my blog called 21yrs old and battaling the big 200.

Wow Girl you look awesome. I have lost from 232 to 198 and am also 5'6 and I totally dont see myself looking like that in 8lbs or so. What do you do for exercise?

Q: What do i do for excersize?

Hi Shawna! Thanks for your comments!
I go to the gym 4 - 5times a week for an hour to 2 depending on the day and my mood.

Here is a run down of what I do at the gym.

45 Cardio - 1 hour cardio
( 15 min tredmill, 15 min crossramp, 15 min stairs )
I alternate between different intensitys, resistance, and inclines. I try and aim for 450 - 500 calorie burn during that 45 minutes and a heart rate high in the ' cardio zone' about 70 - 90 % of my maximum heart rate.

20 - 40 Minutes weight training or abs.
Alternating back and forth I do 20 - 40 minutes with weights or pilates/ ab work outs.
I have a 14 machines that I use regularly in my weight training. I do one set of 8 - 12 reps. I increase my weights by 5 % weekly or bi weekly. If it gets to easy to complete a whole set I raise it up.

When I do abs/ pilates I use tools such as medicine balls, and resistance bands to make it more challenging. I will do a variety of ab excersizes in one ab work out but repeat them in order doing 12 reps of each and usually 3 sets of each but alternating.

Hope that made sense....

If you are wondering about my diet I try and aim for 1500 clean calories a day ( I avoid as much as possible) packaged foods and try and eat foods as close to their natural state as possible.

Hitting a bit of a pleatue right now but instead of give up I am going to push threw it! Increasing my cardio a couple minutes, enjoying 15 minute sauna to sweat out the stress and I am also trying to drink 3 cups of green tea to boost my matabloism and my energy!

Well I am off to the gym it is officialy 5PM which means its quitting time!
Have a good evening.

I luv reading your posts,you make it sound so achievable! :) haha..I'm on my way to trying to achieve that same thing... I pretty much have exactly the same stats as you..and I'm so excited, cause I found out the small town I just moved to actually has a gym! haha.. so i'll be starting that quickly...
You'r looking great though! Already you can see such a huge difference! YAY!
Keep postin! cause it's great to see other people progress!
 
Thanks Bexis

Some days i Have more motivation then others and believe me I do have moments where I wish I could eat whatever the hell I want. But then I remember that as people say nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. Such a great saying and so true.
Have you started your own blog?
You really should it is a great tool.
Well again it is 5pm and it is quitting time.
Hope to hear from you soon. :) Keep on losing !! Ha ha ha

I am on a plateau! But I will conquer it! I also have realized I have not been as deprived of yummy food as I thought. I stopped writing in my food journal bad mistake. I still eat healthy but I have allowed myself to sample some sweets and other things that I shouldn't . I have lost probably a pound or two in the last 2 - 3 weeks. And to be honest I only have myself to blame. I am soo good about getting my workouts in, I work out 5 days a week for an hour to an hour and a half. The diet is where i stuggle I find it hard to get a good estimate of my calories in. I will be posting new pics shortly my camera is not working right now. Well I am off to the Gym. got a sore knee but I am going to try and have a great workout none the less.
Alright well I will post again soon!
Amanda :)
