edited September 25 in Success Stories
I just wanted to post an update on my progress. I am down 35 lbs, 3 sizes, and 14.5 inches (that is 2 months worth of measurements). I didn't take my measurements from the beginning of my weight lose journey like I should have. My journey started Sept 2006, so I have been at this 6 months now. I still have 20 more lbs to go before I hit my goal weight. Only 6 more lbs, and I will be 3/4 of the way there. I have been doing 30 day - shred, and I highly recommend it to anyone. I hope this gives someone encouragement that they can accomplish anything.

July 2010 - right after having my son - 194 lbs

Dec. 2010 - My uncle's wedding - 15 lbs down

    I am 5'3", so I am on the shorter size. The normal range for my body is 141 and lower, so I am shooting for 140 lbs right now. I was the weight that I am now in high school, but I am alot more toned than in high school. I carry my weight all around my mid-section. It doesn't help that I have had 2 babies.

    Wow! You have done so well!! My middle is my "trouble spot" too... from what I've read, cardio seems to do wonders! And abs, of course ;-)
    Great job! :flowerforyou:

    Both are true. The 30 day shred has really done wonders for me since I don't have time or money to join a gym. This is my alternative especially with 2 small children.

    Very nice!!!! You look so great! Great job! I have a troublesome middle area too. It definitely comes from my pregnancies, because before becoming pregnant, I would gain in the hips and legs and butt mostly. You are doing such a good job! I hope I will have some B&A to show someday! :happy:

    Thanks. I can't wait to post B & A pics when I reach my goal. I plan on posting pics again when I am 3/4 of the way there (in about 6 more lbs). It gives me motivation to keep going when I feel like giving up.

    Thanks. I have worked really hard to get where I am. Plus, I wanted to give inspiration to others who are struggling. I wanted to show that I can be done with some work. Thanks again.
