Hello everyone in the blogging world!
I've been on Take Shape For Life 17 weeks. Started 10/22/12.
My starting weight was 261.8 and as of 2/18/13 it was 215. That's a total of 46.8 pounds!! Woohoo
Even better are my measurements.
Start as of 2/18/13 Total inches lost
Bust 48.5 45 3.5
Upper stom 44 38 6
Waist 43.5 37.5 7
Hip 53 47 6
Thigh 29.5 25 4.5
Calf 17 15.5 1.5
Arm 16.5 15 1.5
TOTAL INCHES 30 INCHES!!!!
I simply cannot believe it. God is so good! He lead me right to this program. He's given me the will power and strength to endure. I feel like I'm going to make to the end!
There are so many little things I'm starting to notice. I can feel my collar bones starting to emerge!
I can cross my legs a lot more comfortably. I can go up and down the stairs at work and not even be short of breath.
And EXERCISE!
Walking is of course, the easiest to do. We have a couple of walking tracks near where I live and when it wasn't freezing cold-I've walked laps.
I've started a zumba class! That's definitely something I could have never done at my starting weight!
We've been painting our den, kitchen and spare bath. We've sanded the floor boards. Now THAT was lots of exercise! Climbing up and down step ladder, bending, squating, sitting in floor, brush strokes-boy-it adds up!
It's all about moving more and I'm doing that.
Here's my new photos of myself:
