I just wrote a really, really long blog post in a diary-style timeline, but I know not everyone visits the blogs.

Abbreviated version? Don't get hung up on the scale, don't assume that you'll lose more on fewer calories, eat your exercise calories, enjoy your meals, and find a physical activity you enjoy so you don't view exercise as punishment.

Before Zumba in January, and after a 6.5 mile run yesterday.

Squee! I have ABS! And a fear I'm becoming The Situation.

Progress in the same bikini, which I can no longer wear in the pool without losing the bottoms. My husband does not see that as a problem.

    Thanks! I'm amazed at how much my posture has changed. I'm not slouchy and with rounded shoulders anymore... and I look like someone's stretched my torso! In my before pictures, my "natural waist" (the smallest part of my torso) was about an inch below my boobs! :laugh:

    I still have a short trunk (I'm petite on top, even though I'm taller than the typical petite sizing) but it's not nearly as apparent.

    This applies to me too. I find myself flirting with flat(ter) stomach territory... What I eat and how working out make an almost immediAte impact. I dipped my toes into the waters of the 120's for a day or two. That was weeks ago and I haven't seen it since. These pics are waaaaaaaaay inspiring. Really nice work- and thanks for providing proof that it can be done!!!!! ;)
