The 2015 battle continues but perhaps I'm winning??

HW: 153.2 (in Jan)

My highest weight ever was 173 but luckily I haven't seen that in a few years, 162 last year though. :( THIS TIME IT WILL BE GONE FOR GOOD.

Started tracking measurements in Feb though, so..
Height: 5' 3.75"
SW: 146.8 (Feb 28)
CW: 140.2 (Apr 25)
GW: 130.0 BY JULY

Measurements Feb to Apr:
Chest: down 2.5"
Waist: down 3.0"
Hips: down 1.75"
Thigh: down .5" (but only from Mar - Apr)

Exercise only started in March: jogging in mid-March and 30 day shred on the 29th. I've only missed 3-4 days of 30 day shred, and I try go jog 2-4x per week. I jog 2 kms at a time with my doggy, and our first round took 23 minutes. We're now down to 14.5 minutes. I've also gone biking a handful of times ranging from 2-12 kms at a time.

The dog has lost weight as well, so I've had to increase his food!

My body feels different. Stronger. I feel muscles under the smaller amount of fat. I can jog longer, faster. I don't get winded as much. I don't get as sore. I don't cramp as easily. I'm more flexible. Yes the scale is only 3 lbs less from the last month, but I feel my progress was so much more than that.

Sadly, I didn't take progress pics in Jan or Feb so I only have my March/April. But I think I see a difference!!

According to my scale, my BMI is now in the normal range @ 24.2. :)

I can't wait to see my end of May progress pics!!!

    Yeah, level 2 is all planks with tons of knee bending. However, she does say "If you have problems with your knees" in a few spots and gives alternate ways. Just don't hurt yourself!!

    Good luck to you!!

    You look much slimmer through the torso, and more vital and stronger.

    Really similar stats, too.
    SW 149
    CW 139
    GW 132

    I don't do as much exercise, but I want to do more! I do brisk walking 3-4 times a week, plus light weights (old injuries), stretching and body weight excersise.

    I'd love to add you to see your progress.
