today officially marks a 40 lb loss for me (the first 7 lbs being unintentional [which i plan on getting more into when i post another time-probably after reaching my goal weight], & the other 33 through counting calories & exercising--which began on 9/14/10).
anyways, when i had lost 30 lbs (on 1/17/11), i thought i should start taking pictures to track my progress (since i didn't take pictures in the very beginning). so, here are few pictures, that i took today, that i want to share. the reason for sharing is because in just 10 lbs, the difference in my arms is almost hard to believe (all* pictures are of me flexing). unfortunately, i carry the majority of my weight in my stomach, so i still need/want to lose more, but i thought you guys might be interested in seeing the arm pics.
the pictures are saved as the day i took them, but it should be pretty clear as to which ones were taken 2 months ago... at least i hope so (2 "before" & 3 "after"). again, these comparison pictures are from within the past 10 pounds... not 40 pounds-- which is why im so surprised!
beginning weight: 185
current weight: 144.8
goal weight: 125-130
height: 5'4
*cardio 4-5x a week, weights 3x a week

I lost over 40 pounds before anyone noticed. I didn't say anything to anybody because I have failed so many times. When my friends did finally notice I was a nine days wonder and still am at 60 pounds off. It just gets better and better.
Good luck to you.0 -
