Hey guys :) This is day 32 of my lifestyle change! It's been TOUGH! Being a full time college student, worker, and sorority girl whose in at least 5 other organizations lol. I'm nowhere near a success story because I have yet to reach my goal... BUT my goal requires me to lose 10-12 lbs a month in order to be my ideal weight for my college graduation in May 2015. Well today was my first weigh-in... I decided to wait a month before I did the first one..... and I'm down 14.7 lbs! That's 2.7 OVER my goal!!! I see no difference at all... but I feel one... with that being said I'm gonna post a picture anyway. The first one is from day 3 and the one in the pink is from Friday (todays Sunday) I'm at 386 now starting at 401, my goal is about 195-230 and I stand at 6'2.

    Great job for sticking to it for 32 days . Please do not be discouraged when you do not hit your monthly goal . I lost 70 lbs in 6 months and only 10 lbs in the following 3 months . but I did lose inches ..so keep going and no matter how slow or fast you go before your graduation it will be so much better than gaining weight .

    Good luck !

    Great work! Congrats on the loss and you should be very proud of what you have already done. The battle is one day at a time and you will get where you want to be! :drinker:
