it's finally starting to happen!
 

After two months of regular exercise and better eating, my weight finally dropped. Just a bit from about 10 days ago when I last weighed, but after two months of nothing, I'm so excited!

Even better, I have lost inches since Oct. 19. Most notably, 2" from my butt, 1.5" from my tummy, 1.5" from my bra strap area (no more fat rolls!), and 1.25" from each upper thigh!

I got some great encouragement and advice here about protein and working with weights, and I think that is what is finally working for me. :D

wahooooooo! way to go! such an awesome feeling eh :carrot:
Keep it up! cause sooner or later your bound to keep losing!

YAY!!! And congrats!! All that hard work does pay off! :D

I credit most of my weight loss to protein + weights. I know cardio is a huge part of it, too, but it's all my new, well-fed muscle that keeps my metabolism rockin' ! In fact, I lost my first 20 lbs or so with NO cardio -- just weights (I've lost it MUCH quicker now that I'm doing cardio, though).

Well done!!
:carrot:

go get em!:)

Congratulations and way to go!!

Great job!! :cp:

Great job!!!! I lost 5 lbs when i first started then i hit a plateu for a whole month then boom i lost 6 lbs in one week.....so keep on going!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. After two months of nothing, seeing the loss of inches and pounds was a terrific motivator to keep going.
