Hello again! Last night I finished Stage 3 and am very happy with the results. There were some tough moves (YTWL and 90 second planks….the Body Matrix?!?!), but I got through it! I’ve been doing this program for two months and am really happy with the results so far. At this point I have 4.5 months till my wedding, and 3 until my first dress fitting. I know if I continue to work hard and pay attention to my diet I will continue to get results. In short, since starting this program I’ve lost .6 pounds and 9.5 inches. My clothes are fitting much better and in some things, becoming a little too roomy! From my progress pics, it looks like the shorts I take photos in keep getting longer, but there is just less of me to bunch the fabric up. It’s the little details that are so encouraging! I think the next set of pictures might be in a bathing suit because the shorts aren’t doing me justice. ☺
