11 lbs & 15 1/2" later . . .

My success story is still on-going and isn't as big of a tale as a lot of the others I've read. For the past 2 months it's been slowed down drastically since I had gotten out of control with eating and slipped with the exercise. I started on Nov 2, 2009, going to the gym 5 days a week. Tuesday and Thursday is aerobics, which I LOVE! Mon/Fri is a cirucit I do that my trainer showed me - cardio circuit. Wednesday is ab day with some cardio. However, since the beginning of May (after the school semester was over), I slipped and was only going 2-3 times a week (and eating HORRIBLE!). However, I am getting back on track now, before I undo everything I've worked so hard for!

My overall weight loss as of this past Sunday is only 11 lbs, but I've gained a LOT of muscle, since I pretty much had ZERO when I started. Overall, I've lost 13 3/4 inches:

1/8" in my neck
1 5/8" in my chest
6" in my waist (woohoo!)
1 3/4" in my hips
0 in my calves (grrrr)
1/4" in my biceps
1 3/4" in my thigh
2 1/4" in my abs/stomach area

Of course, these numbers would be higher if I really stuck to how I was supposed to eat and didn't cheat 2, sometimes 3 times a week!

I've just uploaded more pictures to my profile (with captions), to show the progress of my weight loss. Reading everyone else's stories has truly motivated me to get out of this rut I seem to have been stuck in for the past month and a half.

(PS - typo on the subject line; should say 11 lbs & 13 3/4" later . . ." I can't change it when editing my post.)
