Down 21 Pounds Since August!

BeckZombie

Hi everyone! My name is Becky and in mid-August I started a new job. At the time, I was at my heaviest weight ever--180 lbs. Since I'm 5 ft tall, that was not a healthy weight for me to be at. So, with the new job change, I decided to make some lifestyle changes, as well.

I've used MFP on and off since college, so I decided to give it another go. When I used it before, I'd be really good at tracking for a couple months and then stop. This time, I was determined to stick with it and I've done well keeping that promise, so far. Through counting calories and going to the gym for 35 minutes 3-6 times a week (depends on the week), I've managed to lose 21 pounds. It's not a huge weight loss and I still have a ways to go before I reach my tentative goal of 140/130 pounds, but I'm pretty proud of myself! This is the lowest weight I've been in quite a few years, and it feels great!

Here's my before and after so far:

Lol there should be a 5 ft club lol we would all rock it. I started my journey at almost 5 ft 1 weight 198 and so far as of last weight check almost 2 weeks ago I'm down to 176. That is a lot of hard work so don't see yourself short you are doing freaking awesome:)
