I have "only lost" 17 lbs, but...
- I'm the smallest I've been in at least a year.
- I can see my collar bones!
- My clothes keep getting bigger and bigger (I figure I'm only a few pounds away from being able to comfortably fit into a size 14 pant, I'm a 16 now and I can pull some of my pants off without unbuttoning them).
- I don't remember my last real binge. It's been at least 2 or 3 weeks.
- I haven't had fast food (other than Subway and I made sure to get veggies on my sandwich) in over a week, and I've discovered that I don't really crave it lately.
- I LOVE feeling sweaty and gross after a workout.
-Oh! I also have less back fat and muffin toppage.0 -
