We'll start with Jillian Michaels! I love her! I did the 30 Day shred in September, didn't miss a day and had such great results! So proud of myself and so happy with the results... still miles away from my goal, but inching my way to success! I also ran 30+ miles in the month and attended BodyPUMP once or twice a week. :)
Alright so here it is: before/after, loss (inches and pounds)
Weight: 176.9/169.5, -7.4 lbs
Neck: 13.75/13.25, .5"
Chest: 35/33, 2"
Breast: 38/37, 1"
Waist: 35/32, 3"
Lower Waist (belly button): 42/38.75, 3.25"
Hips: 41.5/39, 2.5"
Bicep: 13.5/13, .5"
Lower arm: 10/10, 0"
Thy: 24.5/23.75, .75"
Calf: 15.25/15, .25"
Total loss of 13.75 inches and 7.4 pounds!
After results like that, I wanted to keep Jillian in my life! After a short break, I started Ripped in 30 on October 17th. Just finished up level 1 and will be starting level 2 today. Results will be posted for this as well! I don't think they will be quite as drastic, but still hoping they will be good!
Alright, another success! Back in January, we were getting ready to go out for my best friend Kerry's birthday. She wanted us to dress up a bit and I didn't really have much to choose from except the dress I just wore for New Years and or the dress I had worn for my birthday in February! Went for the one I wore for my birthday and was absolutely devastated when there was no way of wearing it! It would have taken an army to zip that thing up! In reality, I think that was one of the turning points in realizing I needed to change my lifestyle and be healthy!
Well, I decided since I've lost 20 lbs and quite a few inches, I give the dress a go. So after the gym and a shower last night, I tried it on and it fit! It fit fantastically! Now I just need an excuse to wear it out! Before it gets too big on me... ;).
Here it is!:
I must say, I'm feeling great and oh so confident. I'm loving this journey and all the little perks along the way.
Last weekend I had lunch with friends I haven't seen in months and they commented on how great I look! I can't wait to look even better! 20+ pounds to go!!!
:)
