50lbs Gone In 5 Months! Pics!

AmykinsCatfood · May 2013

I'm so excited! I have lost 50 lbs (well, 49 as of Monday but with all my exercise and good eating yesterday I'm sure I'm up to 50 by now) in 5 months! I never thought I would be able to lose even 10 lbs.. never knew how to begin.

All I did was log on MFP every single day, and log honestly. I still allow myself junk food every now and again but I make sure to "make room" for it by eating super healthy the other meals and snacks of the day. I started exercising with Zumba for kinect, but quickly got bored so I moved to walking and recently to bike riding and horseback riding.

The first photo is of me is just before I started this journey. I was absolutely horrified by this photo and you can tell I was so uncomfortable with being in the photo and that I just wanted to die. This photo was my catalyst. Something needed to change and I was determined to make it change.

Second photo is I *think* at 30lbs down and at my new achievement of 50lbs down. I've been pretty awful at keeping track of what photos are what and actually taking photos at each 10lb loss, but oh well. This is me! YAY!

I have collarbones now too! Didn't think about them much when I didn't have them, but now I'm rather fond of them :P

Awesome job. How much do you work out a day?

Awesome job. How much do you work out a day?

Well, I'm in college most of the day but I generally try to take a walk on my lunches. It varies between 20mins and an hour. I try to get some form of exercise in at least 3 days a week.

That's incredible. You CAN make the next 50lbs! You're looking fantastic.

Great job! The first thing people in my life commented on after I lost a lot of weight was my collar bones. I used to joke that I had implants because they were never there before! LOL

Thanks everyone

I'd love to start strength training but I don't have the funds to access a gym or buy equipment so for now I'm just working on my cardio. Maybe once I'm down a little more I can save up start doing some strength to firm up any loose skin and tone. Just being able to see my muscles peeking through is a huge victory.
