For those who have a success story (I am currently writing my own!), how long did it take you to SEE the changes in your body? What was the first minor/major thing you SAW within yourself that was amazing? Also, did your confidence pick up? Ladies (and some guys, I guess), did you begin to love shopping (I hate it right now because I am forced to look into a mirror and ugh.)

Thanks for you time and congrats on your success(:! (P.S., if you can, would you add your height, SW, CW, and roughly how long it took you!)

  • Hey thatfitgeek,
    I am also writing my success story. I started Jan 5th of this year 2014 at 164.8lbs and am currently at 148.8 so in ten weeks that is 16lbs! I also lost about 8% body fat. My goal is to loose another 16 to 20 lbs or whatever it takes to get down to 15% body fat. I have been very faithful with my eating. I cut out ALL sweet treats and I do not have any cheat days. It took a month to feel like i was seeing changes with my body, but with giving up all the sugar from sweets I felt totally different after a week. I had way more energy. That was the first thing I saw. It also didn't take me as long to feel alive in the morning (I am not a morning person). As far as shopping I like it way better now and I feel so much better about my self and my life.
    Also Today was the first day I KNOW and am CONFIDENT that I will get to my goals.
    Work hard and the results will come!!!
