Well I hit my 3 month mark. I started this Journey Feb 1, 2013 and have been chugging right along. I hit a few milestones this morning with my weigh in so I wanted to share it with you fine people. This morning I weighed in at 136.4 lbs...the exact highest possible for a "healthy BMI"...and no I don't go off of BMI exclusively but it is still nice to reach that mini goal for myself. I have also officially lost 20 lbs (well 19.6 ...but hey same thing haha).

To get here I have been just making healthier choices in general with my eating. I still eat a lot of the foods I used to eat, just smaller portions, I substitute with more whole grains, and I eat a lot more vegetable and fruits. No fad diets here! My exercise regime has consisted of the 9 week TurboFire prep program, and now I have completed the first 4 weeks of the 12 week TurboFire program. In addition I have almost completed the 30 day squat challenge and am hoping to take up running with this nicer weather!!

I am 5'2" FYI:
SW: 156lbs (highest was 167 in October 2012 with my pregnancy)
CW: 136.4lbs
GW: 120 (may up it later depending on muscle mass, etc.

Now for the pictures!!

    Girl!!! You look great! My gut reaction to seeing the befofe and then the after pic was literally "holy *kitten*!" It definitely looks like more than 20 pounds and the side picture especially makes me say this. Congrats on your fantastic job!!
