HUGE VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!

Options
so my coach and i wanted me to loose 10lbs in 1 month... today marks month 1 and i've only lost 7.8 pounds. i'm happy about this, BUT listen to this!

i have been on this journey for a MONTH, that's all!! and two weeks ago, my coach measured me and told me I had lost 3.5 pounds in 2 weeks!! i was ECSTATIC!! Today she took my measurements again... and ... i honestly still have a hard time believing this... i've LOST 13.5 INCHES in 2 weeks!!!! so 17.5 IN 1 MONTH!!! Holy cow!!!!!!! I couldn't possibly be more dumbfounded and happy at the same time!!!

    thank you all!!!

    as for exercise, the first 2 weeks i didn't at all!! i just ate right by following the food pyramid plan my coach laid out for me!

    these last two weeks, all Ive done for exercise is i mowed the lawn 2 times, but the last 2 days i played tennis and went swimming, that's it!! I also made sure i hit my 64 ounces of water every day, that's important!!

    That is so awesome..I think the inches are more to be proud of then the numbers on the scale..Keep up the good work. I am sure seeing those inches gone makes you want to keep going and reach your goal..

    the inches made me not even fret that i didn't get my weight goal for the month, because i never even DREAMED it was possible to loose those numbers!! besides, 7.8 pounds in a month is nothing to sneeze at, i'm very happy!! i think loosing at just under 2 pounds a week is a great number, it's not like i'm loosing it so fast that it's temporary and i'll bounce right back to where i was... it's a healthy rate to loose! I'm extremely happy!!

    That IS awesome! Same thing happened to me. First week I lost 12ish lbs and about 3.5...2 weeks later only down an additional 3 lbs or so but I lose 14.5"! I am soooo glad I measured first or I am sure I would have been frustrated! It is amazing that sometimes the lbs don't come off as fast as the inches do!

    as long as the inches keep coming off i'm ok with whatever the scale says, i just won't get on it! haha .... i honestly cannot believe it, i really didn't think that was humanly possible without lipo or being on Biggest Loser, haha.
