In the first month of starting my weight loss journey I lost 6.5" off my body and 9.4 lbs.

In the second month of my weight loss journey I lost another 5" off my body and 4.2 lbs. The only way I can explain the incredible inches lost yet having a more mild weight loss is that I must be exchanging fat for muscle and therefore changing the shape of my body! I definitely look and feel more toned. BIG difference.

This totals 11.5" lost and 13.6 lbs (17 lbs from my heaviest.)

Since working out (mostly strength training with mild - moderate cardio) and eating healthier I've gone from 190.6 lbs (194 lbs at my heaviest) to 177.0 lbs in two months! I'm 5'8" tall.

People are definitely seeing the difference - and so do I - but the greatest accomplishment is how great I feel.

And I'm loving the return of my jaw line, haha!


You can do it too, MFPals! <3

    Congrats and thank you for saying the following "but the greatest accomplishment is how great I feel." I constantly try and tell people to not worry about what they look like but how they feel as the physical/visual changes they seek will come in due time but the way you feel is within a couple of weeks.
