Progress since July

mrsamanda86 · December 2013

Hey everyone! I read the success stories pretty much every day, especially when I'm in a bad mood and they help me SO much to re-find my motivation, so I figured I would add my progress to maybe help someone else out! I started losing weight in July, I was just watching what I was eating and I had purchase UFC trainer for the xbox and was working out to that. From July to August 28th I lost about 8 pounds all on my own, without using MFP much(I've had my account for a while, but it sat unused for most of that time). I decided to join a gym, and religiously track calories, and that has helped me SO much. My gym offers a free workout program every month and you meet up with your trainer for a check-in every time you get a new routine. On August 28th, of this year, my stats were as follows:
height- 4'11
weight- 160.6 pounds
chest- 40"
waist- 35"
hips- 44.25"
As of December 5, 2013(my check in day this month) my stats are now:
weight-141
chest- 37"
waist- 31.25"
hips- 40"
And my body fat % has gone down from 31.9 to 25.1!!!!

As of yesterday, I now know I can do 150 push ups in ONE day, and as of today I can finally do real squats(no weight on the bar yet but that's okay!)
I still have ~20 pounds till goal, but my main concern is getting my bf% down to about 20%. I will post photos once I actually get to goal, but I do take them every month so I can see the loss other than in just numbers and measurements.
