    On March 30th I reached the milestone of losing 75lbs. It's hard to believe I was that much overweight and still have about 15lbs to go. That's a lot of extra fat for anyone, let alone someone who is 5'2"! As always, I took progress pics and a picture of me in my Before Jeans. :)

    And here are my measurements as of today along with the difference from a few weeks after I started.
    Neck- 14.8 to 12 (-2.8")
    Waist- 42 to 30 (-12")
    Hips- 47.5 to 36.5 (-11")
    BMI- 39.1 to 26.1
    Body Fat- 52.3% to 30%
    Clothing- size 18/20 jeans & 2XL shirts to size 10 jeans & small/medium shirts.

    ETA: About 95% of my exercise is walking, on average 10km at a time. I have tried some DVD workouts and sometimes use the treadmill for running intervals too. I prefer walking outside to anything else though. I do not lift...yet.

    What are you waiting for? Inches drop really fast with weight lifting. Good job on what you've done so far. AMAZING!

    You look amazing, congrats! I'm only .5 inches shorter than you and a few years older, and started a bit heavier at 226.4, so its inspiring for me to see someone closer to my numbers/age/height and you look fab at 143. I actually didn't know where to set my UGW to because I haven't been below 170 since about 25 yrs old, lol. I think I'm going to aim for 150 and see how I feel from there. Thanks so much for the inspiration and sharing, and congrats again!!!

    You look beautiful and so different! So much younger. You kinda make me wish I was shorter ;)


    You always inspire me to push harder and I'm very proud of you. I know your family is too.

    Walk on, Jennilyn!

    Since I'm 5'0 you're taller than me by a foot because I've put you on a tiny pedestal! What a great job. Congratulations!
