Down 40 lbs....60 more to go. (pics)

jennipooh0324

Well as of yesterday I am officially down 40 lbs.
I was on a plateau for 3 weeks, with the scale not moving, but it finally did.

I work out 5-6 times a week, doing various things from Zumba (at home with the Wii), to running (training for a 10km) to doing the elliptical at the gym. I also do 3 days of strength training at the gym.

I am usually pretty good at sticking to my calorie goal (currently 1400), some days I go over, but not too much (unless I am having a cheat day).
I don't eat clean, I eat what I want, I measure and weigh everything...most importantly I don't DEPRIVE myself.

This time I am not on a diet, I have just changed the way I eat. I feel better, more active and LOVE that my clothes are starting to fall off....lol....almost time for new clothes

Starting weight 263





currently at 223





.....work in progress......but on the right track. Not sure if you can see much of a difference but I sure feel a difference.

Feel free to add pictures or your success story!!!

Congratulations on your success! We are all of us, for as long as we live, "a work in progress". What kind of work and progress to what makes all the difference.

I have pretty much the same philosophy as you - learning moderation, but not depriving myself, and I am happy to see it is working so well for you. You have come such a long way.

Wishing you all the best on your journey through weight loss - and life!

You are doing great! Keep going and keep us posted! I am trying to lose about 30-40 pounds total and this first 10 pounds is proving to be the hardest! The scale has not moved in two weeks but I have lost 3 inches so I keep pushing. Thank you so much for sharing pictures and your stories, I love seeing people like you stand up and do this and motivate the rest of us.

You are doing great. I am like you I eat what I want but I stay within my calorie count. Before when I would diet I would mentally ruin it because I would think of all the stuff I cant eat. I mean I would wake up in the middle of the night. Now when I want something high in calories I have to work those calories off that day. Keep up the good work you can tell happy you are.

Great job!! Keep up the good work.

jbladecki

You look very happy and amazing! And it definitely shows. I am doing the same approach this time with losing weight and exercising. I am down 32.6 lbs as of yesterday and right now I have at least 23.4 to go totaling 56 lbs. Again great job!

ekd23

Way to go! I can definitely see a difference! Keep up the great work!

I believe in you to reach your goal. We all know how mentally draining it is to lose a good portion of weight. I believe weight loss is more mental than physical. Looking great. Keep staying positive and consistent. I've been plateauing weight wise for the past two weeks myself but as long as the inches come off, that's all that matters

Great job!! You can definitely notice a difference. More importantly, you feel it!
