6 Week Progress Pics :)

Hey all! I check these forums every day to get a little kick of motivation and I've found that I particularly enjoy seeing the progress pictures because they relate to where I am in my journey. I started getting "serious" around the end of June when my doctor referred me to MFP and so far I am in love with it. I love the friends I've made here!
The scale has only moved about 5 pounds, it fluctuates a lot. But, I took pictures today and saw some change, so I thought I would share for those of you that are in my position
Basically the change has come from 1)logging my food - it really does help, keeps me from snacking more because I know I can't go over at a certain point. I stay between 1250-1500 per day and eat my exercise calories back about half the time. 2) ELLIPTICAL! HIIT training on the ellptical is great. 3) 30 Day Shred - I don't do it every single day, I love Jillian but I just get so bored with 30 day shred... so I switch up my circuit training every day. Sometimes I will do 30DS, sometimes I'll do RI30, and sometimes I'll do some of her other workouts. Biggest difference has been just getting up and exercising every day and drinking a lot more water.
Not a TON of change but it's there!

There got it to work finally lol.
Thanks, and feel free to add me! My endurance is a lot better than when I started so I plan on kicking things into super high gear this week. I log on every day!
