1lb until my goal :)

madamelaporte · June 2011

Hey guys - so I thought I share my success - although it isnt as amazing as some of yours for me it feels so great.
I started on MFP at 147 my goal was to reach 126 and as of today I am at 127lbs, I have gone from a UK size 12 (which were beginning to get slightly tight) to fitting comfortably into a size 8. I actually can't believe it as I have never stuck to a diet like this before MFP really is fantastic and I never in a million years would have thought I could fit into a size 8. I amhappy as I can see in my clothes and measurements I have lost all that weight oh and the scale too of course but when I look in the mirror I still see the girl who weighs 147lbs!!! Guess it will come in time, I am not 100% happy with how I feel about myself BUT I am almost at my goal and I will continue to 'diet' until I feel good about myself and I need to get toning my tummy and thighs (tummy from being stretched from my beautiful babies and thighs as its a family problem lol) but I am determined to get them toned and lookng good

I said when I signed up that I would love to fit into my red cropped trousers - I did it (and they are even a touch too big) I have bought my very first ever pair of white trousers - never felt comfotable enough to wear them and it all just feels brilliant.

I did hit a 4 week standstill where I lost nothing at all but I kept at it and then I had a steady 1lb loss every week for 10 weeks

So those of you that sometimes hit those plateaus and want to give up DONT you can do it just stick at it - I also found the 4 weeks I didnt lose I was working out EVERY day so definitely have 1 or 2 rest days!!!!

Sorry I have rambled on a tad.

Good luck to all of you who are on this weight loss journey, you can all do it - if I can stick to a diet you can too

Oh and I definitely recommend Jillian Michaels No more trouble zones and 30 day shred oh and Zumba is also great to do as well
