S/C/G: 198/180/160

Height: 5'7"

Default Halfway Point

So far I've been doing this weight loss thing with diet only. I did say somewhere down the line that once I reached 180 I would buy a kettlebell and start working in exercise into my routine.

Well... 180 is here. I'm down 20 in a month and a half.

Despite that - I'm a bit (blue) right now and am getting ready to move across country next month back into my parents' house...

So please me the love I need to get my (skinnier) butt into gear.


On the plus side - 180 is FABULOUS!

---My pants were falling down today.

---A shirt I wore the other day fit awesomely - for some divine reason, the weight loss isn't hitting my only-not-an-A-when-fat boobs yet, but has definitely hit my tummy-area.

---And another pair of pants that I used to wear on laundry days because they fit but were tight enough to give me a stomach ache are now loose enough to be a perfect fit.

The down side is that I can't afford the smaller sized clothes that I'll soon need to buy.

Kettlebells are awesome and so much fun. I can incorporate a good routine in 20 minutes and get more than I could of an hour at the gym. As far as your clothes are concerned..wear a belt around your sweaters and shirts/tops. belts are in and make you look more defined. Maybe someone has a sewing machine that you can use to put darts in pants, etc. to help you out while you lose weight. Also check on 2nd hand stores and BFF's that may share clothes with you along the stages. Congrats for loosing.
