10 pounds lost 7 more to go! (pic)

nicoledemaris

Hello!

I know it is not a huge weight loss but I have finally hit the 10lb. down mark and I'm super excited about it!
For starters I am 21 years old, 5'6" and I am a dancer so I have always had a lot of muscle but have always struggled with stubborn belly fat that I just could not seem to shake. In the middle of June 2013 I weighed myself and found myself at my heaviest which was 157 pounds, then on July 1, 2013 (weighing in at 155.4 pounds) I decided that I was done complaining about my weight and decided to do something about it!
So now about 6 weeks later I have finally hit the 10 pound mark and I couldn't be more excited! I still have about 7 pounds to go or so (maybe a little more) but I am making progress!

It's not "how much"... it's that you made a commitment and goal - and you're making excellent progress. Congratulations - looking great!

grats!..don't make light of your loss.....my 55 may not be a lot to some either and when I get there my 133 may not be to those who have hundreds to lose...it doesn't matter the amount....what matters is that you stuck with it and crossed your finish line!

7 more lbs sounds like fairly arbitrary number there.. why 7?

losing 7 more pounds will get me to 140 which as of now is my goal weight!

You look fantastic! The number may be small but I understand how hard won each of those pounds is! What did you change to make the difference?

Mostly I just watched my calorie intake. I didn't really stop eating the foods I love I just started paying more attention to the portion sizes that I was eating. I also increased my exercise; I started taking Zumba classes, using the elliptical trainer, taking evening walks and things like that! Nothing too drastic, just small changes.

I may not stop there, I may go lower. It depends on how I feel when I get there but for now that is my goal.

Well done, your looking great.
