I have 75 to go, but I'm 50 lbs down and wanted to share the 50 lb difference incase anyone else is just starting where I did. Those 50 lbs make quite the difference.

I've been working my *kitten* off (literally and figuratively) since January 7th, and have lost a consistent 10 lbs each month. I started barely being able to do 15 minutes of a zumba DVD, and now I work out 7 days a week, and do intense "Caveman" workouts 2-3 times a week, personal training twice a week, running twice a week, and kickboxing 1-2 times a week, and Zumba is now my extra "fun" cardio if I want it. I feel awesome so far, and even though I have a long ways to go, the 50 lbs I've lost has made a world of difference.

I've lost approximately 12% of my body fat
BMI: From 44 to 36.2

Inches I've lost thusfar:

Chest: 4.75"
Waist: 6.25"
Hips: 8"
Each Arm: 1.5"
Each Thigh: 3"

This picture shows one of the last before pictures I let be taken of me at halloween last year (yes I was trying to be a shiny fairy), and some pics I took on thursday. The Necklace was my 50 lbs present to myself, so when I get fustrated I can remember how far I've come so far.

    Thanks for all the love and support, and compliments. You guys are amazing!!! :)

    And RE: the necklace for those who have liked it- I got it from an awesome guy on etsy 321Gostuff - and he made all the charms custom, and I'm getting charms to switch it up when I hit 75/100/125, or maybe new necklaces by then? who knows.
