I started this journey on Jan 3rd 2011and have logged in everyday since. I haven't weighed myself since March 17th and am not going to weigh again till September 17th, but I am keeping track of inches. As of June 22nd I had lost 31.75 inches (didn't start keeping track of inches until Feb 23rd, so that was 31.75 inches in 4 months.) When I started I was wearing a plus size 16 (that was really tight) and now I am a size 12! I feel like if I can do this anyone can do it and it's soooooo worth it!

    You look fantastic! It would drive me nuts to not weigh in. Kudos to you though for not weighing in. :drinker:

    You look awesome! You must have some AMAZING willpower to keep off of the scale. I can't even go a couple days without peeking!

    awesome job! i don't know you, but I am proud of you!

    It is hard not weighing myself, but I also like that the scale doesn't have control over my emotions and stress me out ;) I was becoming addicted! But I think inches are most important anyway. I am very curious to see how far I have come number wise, I think I have about 30-35 more pounds to lose.

    Lady, you are disappearing! Congrats fantastic work!

    I'm mostly inspired by the fact that you don't weigh yourself. I'm a scale junkie (I know, I know) and step on it twice daily (just for "fun").

    Great work!

    I workout 5-6 days a week mostly using my elliptical or running outside for 25-35 minutes and I try to fit in Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, but haven't done it for the last month because of a schedule change. But starting next week I am going to do it 3 days a week along with the cardio :smile:
