One month progress with pics

rhina23

I am just so proud of my progress and I want to let everybody see it!
I have been exercising ( tae bo normally for 40-45 minutes) , cut down on carbs.

I reached my goal and 2 lbs more (2 lbs/ weekly; 8 lbs/month) and hoping that i will continue to lose more .
And, 3 inches on my belly.
I started with 44 inches and when i measured this morning, it is down to 41.
Hips went from 49 down to 47.5 . Not bad but i think i need to focus on this area more.

I feel great about myself. Thankful for the encouraging words that mfp members gave me when i was starting here.,

The only parts not improving are my thighs and calves and my arms.,these are areas too that i need to focus more.

I tried to start doing t25 but had to stop because i cant do a lot of jumping . It is hurting my feet and ankles and im afraid that it will get worst and wont be able to do any exercise anymore.

I tried to do the modified version, but i feel like i am not going to lose more calories.

Anyway, here are my pics, and thank you for reading.sorry about the face pic. I cant find any pic that has the same angle as the first one.

I am 44. 5'1

You should be proud of yourself as your hard work is paying off. Very noticeable ????

for me my face was the first to go.... then came arms and legs... but after that it only leaves your tummy... so keep working at it... you will see improvement... but remember slow and steady wins this race... also it keeps the skin from sagging..

Remember to keep exercising (walking) no matter what... no excuses..

That's what I do. I make sure I exercise, everyday.
Or just move! My goals was just 30 mins/day, 5 days/week . But i went over my goAl.

I told myself, if i wont move, i wont lose anything.
There were days that i will exercise in the morning for 20 mins then 40 mins in the afternoon.

I am hoping i get addicted to exercising lol.

Thanks.

Sorry too about the scar.
I had my gall bladder removed several yrs ago.

rhina23

Sorry. I have to correct the measurement.

My waist was 47 inches down to 41. I lost 6 inches in one month.
Hips was 50.5 down to 47.

Awesome job! Keep it up! The face is usually the first area that loses weight I noticed. I've been modifying my food selections and started working out 2 weeks ago. I've gotten compliments more because I've lost a bit around my face and neck. I hope soon additional weight from legs/arm and eventually stomach will follow with it!

Wow! You look great! Keep it up!

Why would you ever need to apologize about a scar?

You are making great progress. Keep it up.

In my case, the face first then the tummy. But my legs and arms, very slow.
I would have to come up with an exercise for legs and arms.

You look wonderful! For me I saw a change in my waist first being that it was largest, then my thighs, arms and face. It's a process. Best thing to do is be proactive and do strength training while you lose. It tightened me up better than any amount of cardio I ever did and I still have a ways to go. I measure inches every 3 months and pounds every week.
