Pics from 195- 178

New Weigh in

I haven't been doing much, but I'm still watching what I eat. I'm down 17.8 pounds now. Only a couple more pounds before I can go get my massage. I can't wait.

Been Awhile

Well... it's official. I have officially lost 15 pounds!! I hope to be down another 10 pounds by the time my boyfriend flies in from England. I have 4 weeks. 3 pounds a week sounds doable to me. Let's hope things go well. In another 5 pounds I'll put up new pics!

Two hard days

The last two days I've gone to the gym I've gone for an hour plus my yoga stretches and crunches. It's actually really relieving. I have to go home for the weekend so hopefully I don't gain all that weight back eating my mom's delicious home-cooked meals.

Rough Couple of Days

Things have not been as great as I'd like them to be the last two days. I used to feel wonderful after working out which is why I wanted to do it so much. Yesterday I worked out a bit too much I think. I did 45 minutes of yoga plus 25 minutes on the treadmill doing my 5K training, then 20 minutes on the elliptical. Today I was so sore when I woke up, which I guess could be a good thing since it means I'm working muscles I haven't been by just running. I'm having roommate problems on top of me being sore which makes me stressed and not wanting to work out. Because of this mixture, I'm finding it difficult to tap into my work-out mojo. Not cool. I hope to see the effects on the scale still though. I am still only eating 1,000 calories a day so I should still be losing weight no matter how much exercise I'm doing. We shall see. Only 3.1 more pounds to go to meet my goal by Thursday. Will I make it???

I have also noticed that my skin is saggy because of the weight loss. I'm going to have to look into some toning lotion or gel to get my skin to tighten up. I don't want to be a saggy skinny gal. Two things that don't go together for me. I'll see if I can't find some toning creme.

Side-by-sides

Here are some side-by-sides I did. At least this way I can see what my progress has been throughout.





The last two I can't really tell too much difference except for the front view. I seem much tighter and sportier in the far right than the middle picture. I'll have to take some more when I meet my 15 pound goal. It's nice being able to see them right next to each other though. The ratios might be off because I can't figure out how to size landscape photos into the constraints of the page. Lame.

New Pictures

Yesterday and today's workouts kicked my ass. I'm not feeling great like I usually do. I'm going to keep plugging away, maybe take a slow day tomorrow. I'll see how things go. In the meantime, here are some new pics from me at around 184. I can finally feel the difference in my stomach. Dunno if you can see it though.





I've lost two pounds in the last two days and a total of 17 inches overall. I'm down 11.5 pounds for the 3 week and 6 day mark. We'll see what it is tomorrow morning. At least I'm happy that I am still losing weight, but I would prefer to feel better after my workouts. I need to work on that.
