Monthly Goal Reached! With Pictures.

So I began changing my lifestyle the last couple days of July, I weighed in at my heaviest 198. With simply changing my eating habits I dropped down to 181 about a week and a half later. I stayed at 181 for about two weeks when I started taking action about my exercise too. I began a date of August 12 to be the start date of working out...my goal was to reach 173 by September 12. Six days before the date I have already reached my goal of 173...I hope I can at least lose another pound before September 12 
I am so proud of myself it was extremely hard, I had to be really strict with myself...even when food called my name. I slipped a couple of times but that didn't stop me from reaching my goal. I pushed myself to go forward and change what I didn't like. My next goal for Sep-Oct is to be 165 by October 12. Wish me luck!! This month was hard and emotional for me but I pushed through all the challenges. I even rewarded myself with a small starbucks coffee.
Start July 198
early/mid august 181

<--taken today 173
every pound shows on my body!! BTW I am 5' 2"

198 to 181 in a week and a half is incredible!!! I'm almost at 2 weeks and refused to weigh myself at all last week because it was "that time of the month". I have a feeling I won't even come close to what you lost, but that is still really inspiring!! Great job!

not exactly, I just gave up unhealthy foods entirely. It was hard and yes sometimes I slip...but most of the days, instead of pigging out on junk food, you see me pigging out on a salad. I eat three balanced meals, Salad, veggie stir fry, ect...I only get my carbs from the veggies and fruits I eat. Bread or grain carbs do not fill you up the way veggie carbs do, they are absorbed faster where as the veggie and fruit carbs are not, I just reach my daily carb limit by eating things like that. And at the end of the day, the fruits and veggies are so filling I am not hungry at 12 o'clock at night. And they are healthy and I can eat as much of them as I want. When I do eat grains I only eat wheat...for example wheat bread, wheat pasta, wheat pancakes. It's hard but as you can see it works.0

here is a trick, if you follow your menstrual cycle a woman's metabolism is up and running better the week before she menstruates. So an easy way to loose a couple of pounds...just eat nothing but fruits veggies and water the week before your time of the month. It will also reduce the 'cramps' I use to get really bad pains but now i do this a week before and I either go the entire week without pain or it's very mild. Hope that helps0

thank you if you have any questions if anyone has any questions feel free to add me. I will be more than happy to tell you guys what I am doing, how I do it, and how I stay focused. I know losing weight can be hard I cried many times over the scale. But reaching my goal feels like I can finally break away from these chains!! It's not much to everyone but it's liberating to me.0
