22lbs. lost, 28 more to go!

sandi117

I'm always browsing through the Success Stories forum, reading, commenting, envying... :grumble: For so long I wasn't seeing my success. Now 22lbs. down, I'm FINALLY seeing it! I'm losing my tummy and, oh my gosh, I actually have a waist?! :noway: I still have a ways to go, but I'm so glad to finally feel like I'm successful in my journey, and I finally deserve a turn to post my own success story. :happy:

Top pictures: Starting weight of 210
Bottom pictures: Current weight of 188


Feel free to add me, I always enjoy more friends :drinker:



PS - Overhead lighting is not flattering... lol

ETA - Since someone sent me a message asking, I figured I'll post this here too. I've been watching my calories, obsessing on some days. But, the big thing is not kicking myself for going over. For exercise, lots and lots of cardio right now, especially since I signed up for a 5K at the end of March. :noway: I'm now starting to do some strength training as well.

Well done! It is always great when you see results and you are starting to have a great shape!. I have lost around 19 lbs and am now at 220. Still REALLY heavy but at least I have made a start. Good luck with it all!

Way to go! You look great! and I would definitely say to get in some weight training, along w/your cardio. It will help to get the rest off quickly

I tried weight training early on and whenever I'd do any leg work, it would hurt my knees and shoulders, even using low weights. So I decided to give it a break till Idropped some weight, thinking maybe that had something to do with it. Now it doesn't really hurt anymore, but I still plan on taking it slow.

Haha a lot of people have told me that. It's even funnier telling them that technically I was obese.
