So, i started changing my lifestyle January 9th, 2012. I've finally hit the 30lb mark and it feels wonderful. Just in this past week people have really started to notice, i've gotten a lot of "How are you doing it?!" comments at work. I lost about 11lbs before joining MFP. All it is is calorie counting, healthier options (fro yo instead of ice cream, whole wheat instead of white, reduced fat instead of regular, etc) and excersize. Walking, wii fit, dance off the inches videos, jillian micheals banish fat boost metabolism video....hard work does pay off! As my first reward I bought a bikini for the first time in my life and cannot wait to wear it in a couple months. When i reach 150lbs I'm getting my belly button pierced, and when i reach my ultimate goal of 135, i plan on getting a new tattoo. :)

oh, and by the way- i started this riiiight after i turned 19, and i'm about 5'5"

    Way to go! I started the same day you did at about 26lbs heavier than you but I'm just shy of the 30lbs mark too. Keep it up, you'll be in that bikini before you know it.

    Good for you! You can def. tell by your stomach, you look great! I started at 196 as well, currently at 176lbs. I started a month after you so by next month I'll be right where you are :). Do you see a difference in any other parts of your body besides stomach? I swear I lost 20lbs in my stomach and like you, my stomach was not really huge to begin with lol!

    i found that dvd to be SUPER challenging! i still cannot fully keep up with it, she works you HARD. but it works up a great sweat and burns a ton of calories if you put all you've got into it.
