3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hello!:wave:

My name is Shelly, and I stumbled upon this site a few days ago and thought I would join up. I`m at the tail end of 'weight' loss, but working hard at losing some more Fat percentages...so I`m not real sure, exactly, where the 'scale' will settle in, once I get there.

In February of this year, I began my weight loss journey at 185 and 45% body fat. Today I am at 128 and 17.5% body fat. I`m working on 'trying' to lower my body fat to at least the 15% range. Since the beginning, I have lost 67.5 inches and dropped from size 18/20 in pants to size 4/5 in jeans!

My means of fitness are: Treadmill and Total Gym. The TG is what I credit with the huge inch loss. In just 6 weeks time (of daily use), I had lost 24.75 inches...yet, the 'scale' INCREASED a total of 9 pounds, and that sure freaked me out!!:yikes: But, once my new muscles were done their growing process, the retained fluid released and the scale began to, steadily, move downward. In fact..I`ve never even hit a single plateau, during all this weight loss!:cloud9:

I log all my foods and fitness on a different board. Not sure if I`m allowed to mention its name, so I won`t. ;) Just 3 days ago, after doing a lot of reading on a bodybuilding forum, I have re-worked my fitness routine, in an effort of kicking my fat loss into high gear...instead of doing cardio 6-7 days a week, 35-40 minutes each session, I am now doing a 20 minute HIIT, for 3 days.:woops: My Total Gym time is now increased to 40 minutes (used to be only 15), every other day.:strong: Sunday will be a rest day.:beach:

Anyway....that is me! Hope I didn`t bore everyone terribly much!:flow2:
