Here is my starting point from last spring/summer... I'm on the right - it is so hard to look at these. And I thought I could hide it with clothes!!! hahaha yeah right.

SW: 195
CW: 162
Body fat dropped 8%...
GW: 140... ish.... 20% body fat - I wanna look ripped!

Thank you all so much! I hadn't really noticed that big of a difference until I saw the dreaded PICTURES! It is definitely a journey and someone who I have known for a month commented that I looked thinner (this month I have upped my work outs at 90-120 minutes per day) and her comment made me so happy! And yesterday my friend told me I looked like I weighed way less than 162 which was very nice to hear! I haven't been able to break 160 and by the end of the month I will!

It's funny, I haven't really felt like I accomplished that much but a couple of comments goes a really long way! This site is AWESOME and really helps fine tune calories in and calories out. I think if I keep following the guidelines and amping up my work outs I'll be able to drop the rest of the weight in another 6 months!!! This forum really helps keep me in check and answer any questions, so thank you!
