I have tons more pictures, but this shows my progress thus far in a way that I think everyone can see... Even though, by many, I was *smaller* to start with.
I did 30 Day Shred, starting in April, followed by Ripped in 30. I took about a week off in between the two. I followed that up with another 8 or so days off and started another of Jillian's DVDs, Kickbox FastFix. I didn't really feel like this last one did a whole lot for me, but I *have* gotten smaller and in my back photos, I noticed measurable differences in my triceps. I guess I'll post those too, because that was pretty exciting for me.
1st day Kickbox FastFix
End of Kickbox FastFix
I'm starting on 6 Week 6 Pack tomorrow.
Since beginning in April, I have lost 15.8 lbs and a total of 15 inches overall. I'm 5'5" and currently weigh 141 lbs. I lost an inch off each upper arm, a half inch off each forearm, 2.5 inches from my chest, 3 from my waist, 2.5 inches off my hips, an inch and a half off each thigh, and half an inch off each calf. I've gone from a size large top to a medium. I was wearing some 10s (most were pretty tight), should've been in 12s, now I'm in an 8 and some of those are too big. I've gone down a band size in my bra as well. I haven't been a 34 since before having kids (almost 20 years), nor have I really been a size 8 or smaller in as many years, honestly. It's a strange feeling, but it's mostly good.
The only thing I'm finding really difficult about these changes is that what I see in the mirror doesn't match what I see in those photos. I know I'm thin now, but I can't see that I'm as thin as the photos make me appear... I don't think I'm *that* thin. I'm hoping that at some point (preferably soon) the image in the mirror will match up with what I see in the photos.

I'm having the SAME exact problem! I'm 5'7 and started out 171 lbs- and now down to 146 lbs. I've only lost one size in jeans and shirts. I'm a medium in shirts now and I'm still between a size 9/11 in juniors!!! It bugs me because I could fit in those jeans before I lost weight. I def. look NO WHERE near what my pictures make me look like. I'm way bigger than in my pictures... Thought I was the only one who felt this way...0 -
You do look great though very fit looking and toned.0

Wow, great job!!! You've gotten awesome results! I've done 30DS, RI30, and am almost finished with 6W6P. I'm very pleased with my results as well, but I know exactly what you mean about looking better in photos than you feel you really look. It's weird! It still surprises me when people tell me I look fit. I'm like, really? Others see me as a fit person now? lol. You'll love 6W6P! Keep up the excellent work!
Btw, love your back tattoo!0 -

You look amazing!
I totally love Jillian Michaels, So far I've done Banish Fat Burn Metabolism (for 4 weeks) I'm currently doing Ripped in 30 and I'm on Level 2 day 3, and I plan on doing 6 week 6 pack once I've finished RI30.
I'm not brave enough to post photos yet but I hope I look as good as you when I'm done! 0 -
Awesome job! I need to drag out my 30 day shred DVD after I fully recovery from my knee injury!0

LOVE the kickboxing fastfix! Amazing job!
Thanks! Once I mostly had the moves down, I didn't find it nearly as challenging as her other DVDs, but it's definitely a fun one to have around to mix it up with.0 -
You look sensational!! I wish I could look like that...but it is a journey!
Thank you! And yes, it is. I have hypothyroidism and lost about 40 lbs back in 2010. I gained back about 15, which started me down this journey again. This time I've decided that I can't let up because I'm not going back to where I was. :flowerforyou:You look great
Thanks!!! :happy:0
