Vanity pounds

Hanna82

I have officially hit my first goal of losing 15 pounds. I started at 145 and am now at 130. The last 5 pounds I'm trying to lose are simply for my vanity alone.

Just to look the best I can, especially with all the muscle I've built. I read an article about what this is called and they say it's vanity pounds. Weight you want to lose simply for your own vanity. I couldn't agree more.

I don't think of them as vanity pounds. I think of them as my buffer zone. If I can get the last 5 or 10 pounds off, then I have that much jiggle room each month and it reduces my panic attacks.

How long did it take to lose the 15lbs and what did you do to do it?

It took me 6 months to get that weight off. Even with eating right, eating enough calories and working out 5 to 6 times a week for 45 to 2 hours, mostly cardio with some strength training. I'm leaving the strength training more for when I lose all the weight I want so my sweet abs will show more. lol. My body has had a hard time working with me on shedding the pounds so even if it's only 15 pounds it's a big accomplishment to me.
