Today marks my 3 months of using MyFitnessPal. I have lost a total of 30lbs. I weighed 320.4 on April 30th, 2012. I weighed in this morning at 289.4! I'm so excited. I feel so much healthier already and I'm still considered highly obese. I have been trying to stay under 1500 calories - and it's clearly paying off. I started off with Zumba at least 3 times a week - and now I'm fousing more on going to the gym and doing cardio and weights. When I go to the gym I do 20 mins of elliptical, at least 10 mins of sairs, and some treadmill. After I do cardio, I go and do weights for a good 30mins. I started in a size 24 - and am down to a 20/22 depending on the style of pants. I can now fit into XXL in juniors. WOOT WOOT. I'm going to have to post before/after pics later on, because I don't have any handy right now. I can really notice it in my face/stomach/and I noticed my legs are getting more tone.

My goal right now is to get to at least 270 - and then move on to 250. I always worried about having the stretchy/loose skin - but I haven't noticed much so far. I can tell some parts of my body are more loose instead of tight - but you can't really tell by looking at it.

If anyone wants to add me, feel free! :)

    Congratulations! Keep it up! Just something to think about and possibly research some... everything I have heard says to lift weights first and do cardio afterwards (or on completely different days). I have started doing them on separate days because of this info. Apparently doing it this way burns more fat? I am not 100% sure why but maybe someone on here can explain it.
