Week 16--down another 1.4

I have forgotten to update in a few weeks! It's been busy around here! School is in full session so I'm tired when I come home from work...and in a week I will be running a 5k so I've been trying to run as much as I can! Weight loss has slowed a little, but that is to be expected 16 weeks in and I added more exercise. I am loosing the inches (4 total this week--1 from my waist!), so the weight is just shifting from fat to muscle :). So the weigh in today...I was down 1.4 and broke the 180s! Back into the 170s...can't believe I'm only 10 away from the 160s which has been about 10 years since I was there. It's going to be a journey, but I'm going to get there! Still have my eye on the prize of a tattoo at 150 and many shopping sprees in between (my clothes aren't fitting!!)!

The big non-scale victory (we call it NSV alot) this week was fitting into a couple of my favorite jean skirts. I love the feeling of getting into clothes I once loves and them fitting (some are even a little big!). I can't believe I'm saying I love wearing skirts again...it's been a while!

Week 14 Weigh In

It's weigh in day!!! I am happy to report I am down 2.6 from last week!! That's a total of 24.4lbs since June 1. That puts me 11.8 away from my goal for the end of the month and 31.8 from my tattoo goal. I also calculated the inches lost in the last two weeks and that was 3.75 inches! Woot! It just shows if you make the decision to get healthy, follow our easy plan, and don't cheat (!) the pounds will just melt away. Attached is my beginning June picture and the now--after 3 months! Can't wait for the next picture (hopefully monthly now)!

Where has the time gone?

Wow...where has the time gone? My last post was almost two months ago! I totally got off track from posting on here weekly. Hopefully I can make the commitment to myself to come back weekly. So where am I...well I'm down 21.8 lbs since June 1st. I was hoping to be further along, but you can see I had some weeks where I didn't make the best decisions. I'm back on track and have a goal in sight. My friend and I decided to set a weight loss goal and go get the tattoos we have been thinking about getting! If I stay on track that will be right about the holidays!!! This coming new year I will have a brand new healthy ME!!!! So excited for the weeks to come. Lots of things on my plate and busy weekends, but I WILL prevail!!! Stay tuned for more update (if I remember to get back on here!).
