So I re-comited to MFP 1 month ago. My goal is to lose 32 pounds in 6 months. On my one month anniversary I am down 10 pounds and 8 inches (W-4, B-2, H-2). I have been living my life normally, but tracking everything I eat and trying to make healthy choices along the way. I have "splurged" on an average of once a week, but am usually trying to stick between 1200-1350 net cals. I have been going Jillian Michaels "ripped in 30" every other day so I've only completed levels 1 and 2 this month and have started level 3 today.

I wanted to post this now because this is when I usually start to feel good and slack, eventually leading me to make unhealthy choices. From my experience, the pounds come off slower for me at this point and I've never been below 167 in my adult life. I hope by seeing these pics it will motivate me and maybe someone else not to give up on their journey. Right now I'm feeling positive and happy to keep progressing until I reach my goal :)

My diary is public so you take a look and see what has been working for me so far :)

    Congratulations! You are looking great! Hang in there and when you hit a plateau remember why are you are doing it and that your not alone. I too have a day off a week and I usually feel guilty doing it. But I know, for me, to sustain it long term I need that.

    Fantastic! I'm a little jealous because I've lost almost ten and I cannot see a single change. Might be to do with the fact I'm very tall though

    I came on here expecting it to be nothing "I bet you can hardly tell the difference", but WOAH I am amazed in a good way, you look great and can definitely tell. I was being hard n myself because I thought I hadn't lost much weight, but if my 10 pounds looks as good as yours, I'm laughing :)

    I meant that all to be a compliment btw

    Is that what's going on with me (the height) that I can't see a change in me after 10 lbs? Ah well, keep on truckin! ;)
