Woo-Hoo I see change!

Glorious day!! I am actually seeing changes in my body! YAY!!!! :) :cool:

I've lost .5" in my thighs, 1.5" in my waist and 1.5" in my bust!

I've gained 1" in my hips - lord I hope this is muscle! And gained about .7" in my biceps. I hope this is muscle too. :D

But visible results are pretty darn cool!

I'm not good at naming muscle groups so bear with me.

You know how women get that fat pocket where their shoulder meets their chest? Mine is gone!

I'm seeing definite cuts in my upper abs.

My stomach is flatter.

If look really, really close I can see some lines in the back of my arms and the front of my arms (biceps?) are more pronounced.

My butt is tighter!

Oh, and you women will all know what I'm talking about here.... You know that roll of fat that gathers right under where your bra strap is on your back? Mine is shrinking! :cool: :cool:

It's a good day in this 4merslackrs house today! :D :D

Can you tell I'm excited!? LOL

Excellent!, hehehe, Isnt it the greatest most exciting thing when u start reaping the fruits of your labour, its paying dividends and its cool.
Nice 1, enjoy!...(whistles atchya sexy bod')
 
Congratulations! It's always nice hearing that you're succeeding, and that we could be a part of it.

Another one among us!
 
LOL - Sorry Fil....

Spockafina - I've actually lost 2.5" around my bust, but I think it was mostly back fat. Nothing is gone from the girls but I'm pretty small anyway. That has been over a 2 month period!! YAY!

I think I've become exercise and eating right obessed though. Is this normal? :confused:

Thank you guys! I'm sooooo excited about this!

Oh yeah! That's definately normal. You'll catch yourself "preaching" to friends and family, avoiding certain places, feeling good, looking good - it's like a cult.
 
Yeah I noticed that today. I was out to lunch with a few friends and I ordered grilled chicken over lettuce with oil and vinegar. They all ordered rib eyes (fattiest disgusting steak ever), onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and other crap. When my food came out they looked at me like I had two heads. How come people who care about their body are considered "stupid" to the "normal" society?
 
shinra, what are you talking about? people don't think others who are into fitness and nutrition are "stupid." Well actually, if you're a big football player, they may call you a dumb jock.

the only stereotypes I have seen are that "nutrition-minded" people as obsessive, or that "nutrition-minded" people have no life cause they "spend all their time in the gym." Clearly, spending 7-10 hours a week in a gym shows you dont spend your that much time in the gym.

In closing, stop being so worried, and as you have quoted me, "Pump those muscles, eat right, and work the f-u-c-k out."
 
People get annoyed at health minded people in part because they feel guilty when they order terrible stuff. Of course they cling together, because they want to feel like what they're doing isn't wrong.

I had a friend who got REALLY upset when my brother and I "went healthy" because one of our old passtimes was going out and gorging.
 
I catch all kinds of crap from EVERYONE because I don't eat crap. But I'm loosing fat, gaining muscle and looking good - so F*** them!
 
My sister told me today that I must "be in the zone..." LOL I gotta kick out of that one.

My parents are flying into town tomorrow and staying with me. I told them they were going to have to eat like me. My parents are in their 60's and work out at the gym, eat right, hike all the time, ski and snowshoe (they live in Montana). My mom laughed at me and said you're gonna have to move to Montana to keep up with US!

I love being "in" the IN crowd! :p
