Shrinkage
I have gained a couple pounds since I started, but I've lost .75cm from my waist and 1cm from my hips. I wish there was a line to add my thigh measurments cause I'm sure those are shrinking and toning up due to my dancing as well. I'll gladly trade muscle for fat!

Europe...here I come!
I have decided to go to Europe this coming spring! I am so excited. I know this will be all the motivation I need to accomplish my goal. I refuse to feel like a fat American. I will have six months to loose 10-12lbs. I can do this. Just wanted to tell someone. Thanks MK

new pants :)
:tongue: Went shopping with Ezzie this weekend, and OMG, I'm down a couple of pants sizes!! :drinker: :happy: It looks like I finally broke my plateau and got to move my ticker yea! The ticker was stuck for about 8 weeks or so, so it's wonderful to see it move (even if it's ever so slowly) in the right direction again!…

I just have to say...
When I was at my heaviest 2 months ago, I couldn't even wrap my bath sheet round me, it was around 2-3 inches too small! Today, I had a shower after work, grabbed the same towel, and wrapped it - absent mindedly around my body, and guess what??? IT FITS - with an overlap all the way down !!!! I'm soooooo happy :bigsmile:…

During the summer months and early fall my main form of excercise has been cycling but with fall here and shorter days I have not been able to keep that up but I have been able to…

I finally Lost weight!!!
Oh my god, I'm so happy! For months all I've been doing is gaining weight , so to see that I've lost 10lbs is so exciting for me! It makes me want to work harder. It's hard to find the time to get in a "real" workout because I'm a single mom of a toddler, so it's pretty much impossible to find any me time. I'll keep on…

6 weeks and lost 17lbs...
I really log in most of the food I eat. It helps me at the end of the day to see if I ate too much or too little, which is not good either. I try to eat between 1200 and 1600 cals. I have been running 3 times a week. and weight training 3 times a week. Sunday is off!

Success is SWEET!!!
Back in March, I went wedding gown shopping. I fell in love with a dress, but unfortunately, the biggest size it came in was a 16. It wasn't close to zipping, and I was heartbroken. I talked to the seamstress at the gown shop to see if it was possible to get it altered to fit me in case I couldn't lose any weight. She…
