WTG everyone! Another great week!!

Last week: 192.6 lbs This week: 191.2 lbs Loss of 1.4 lbs!! I'm so close to getting into the 180s! My original goal was to get there by March 1st, but I pushed it back to April 1st to make it more achievable, so hopefully I'll meet this one!

Bump.

YUM. Bump.

AWESOME!! It's such a great feeling. 200s never again!! :smile:

Ok, so I'm not one to brag, so I don't really want to tell all my friends, just in case they take it as "showing off"...but I have to tell someone that I GOT A NEW CAR!! A 2011 Honda Accord. It's black, sleek, safe and wonderful. I love it. :smile: Ok. Just had to get that off my chest. :bigsmile:

I've lost a cinderblock and a guinea big! :smile:

You look FANTASTIC!! You shouldn't be ashamed to show those pictures - there is a HUGE difference!! Great job!

YAY!! Great job!

Hey everyone!! How are you doing? I haven't been making the best food choices over the past 3-4 days. So I need to get back on track! My sodium, especially, has been too high. Time to make better decisions! On the other hand, my running is going really well! I did my first 6 mile run on Sunday and my knees are feeling…

WAY TO GO!!

Great job!! That's amazing progress!!

LOL. Well, I promise you that those pictures are completely authentic!! I will admit that the before picture is bigger, but that's just because they were taking at a different zoom. :smile:

I'm so glad that I took my halfway pictures!! They were so inspiring! I've only lost 6.5 lbs in the last 2 months (13 total for the challenge), but I can tell a huge difference from my halfway pics (They're posted in the Weigh in post and on my profile). I also lost almost 16" over my body! Almost 3" off each my bust,…

I don't really have to specific routine. I just try to work all my muscles at least once per week. Biceps, triceps, back, quads, hamstrings, abs. I use free weights, but you can certainly use machines at the gym if you don't feel comfortable with free weights. You could also ask someone at the gym how to use free weights,…

Thanks for all the compliments! If you're discouraged or just starting out, trust me: If I can do this, you can do this! :smile:

I'm currently training for a 10K in 13 days and a Half Marathon in October, so I run 3 days a week. I typically work out 5-6 days a week for 60 minutes. Strength training at least twice a week. I also do a lot of plyometrics (squat jumps, plyo jumps, step ups, etc.). And I also will do a kickboxing class about twice a…

1. Take it one day at a time! 2. It's not failure unless you give up; you're not going to be perfect. Life happens, cravings happen and you're going to make some bad decisions! This is a life style change, so let it go. Your mistakes don't define you, what you do to improve next time is so much more important! 3. Exercise!…

Here goes nothing! Before 205.6 lbs After 192.6 lbs Inches lost: Bust: 2 7/8" Arms: 5/8" on right, 1/2" on left Waist: 2 1/8" Hips: 2 1/8" Thighs: 2 3/8" on right, 2 1/4" on left Calves: 5/8" on right, 1/2" on left Total inches lost from 1/1/11 to 3/20/11: 15 3/4" !!

First ever 6 mile run!!! 1:14:00! I'm looking good for my first 10K in 13 days! :smile: I PROMISE I'll get pictures and measurements up later today! :smile: I know, I'm a procrastinator!

Alright. I got my 4 mile run in yesterday in 49:20, with the first 21 minutes running straight, then run/walk combo the rest of the time. Tomorrow morning is my FIRST EVER 6 mile run!! I'm kinda nervous! Wish me luck! Sometimes I wonder why I decided to do a 10K and then I remember that I need to prove to myself that I can…

Holey moley girl!! Look at you! I can totally tell in your bottom, thighs and stomach!! Great job!

I can totally tell in your stomach!! You look great! 5 pounds lost is 100x better than 5 pounds gained! :smile:

You look awesome!!! Congrats!

Bump. I'll post again when I have measurements and pics!

Slow and steady wins the race....I'm down 0.4 this week from 193 to 192.6 lbs. The good thing is that I survived a week of vacation and have already lost the 3 lbs of water weight and then some, so I'll take it. I need to kick my running up a notch because my 10K is only 2 weeks from tomorrow!!! I still need to take pics…

OMG! You look amazing! Congrats!! Love your hair cut!

That's awesome! You went up a cup size because the size of the cup on a 38 DD is the same as the cup of a 40 D. It's just one of those weird things with bras. But WAY TO GO!

You need to eat more that 120 calories for lunch!! That's not a meal, it's a snack. You could try rice cakes and 1 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter; 130 calories of good fat and it's delicious! I agree with the previous post about each less, but more often. That should help with you not being all that hungry.
