Before After

Week 16 WI-20 Percent!

I am down another 1.8lbs this week! That brings me to a total of 44.5 lbs gone and MORE than 20% of my starting weight off my body for good!

To celebrate I started tanning on Monday. I always feel great when I tan, even though it is so bad for you---but the main reason I do it is to clear up the KP (raised red bumbs) on the backs of my arms and on my legs. I have tried everything to go without UV rays, but nothing---not even exfoliating with a pumice sponge then oiling and lotioning my entire body every day made a noticable difference. There is no other proven way to get rid of KP (my dermatologist wasn't much help either, and actually reccomended short amounts of time in the sun or a tanning bed to get rid of them), so to the beds I go. I have only been once so far and already I can see the difference on my arms.

I took the day off drom the gym today, and am already bargaining with myself on how to get my cardio in today. A walk after work? Maybe hit the gym then? I refuse to let myself feel guilty about taking the day off. My body is yelling at me and telling me to slow the eff down already--I need to listen to it. Although I can't gaurantee I wont try that kickboxing class tonight... Argh!!!

I hope everyone has been having a great week! I know that a lot of you ladies are struggling---just hang in there and keep on trukin, you CAN do this! I am off to catch up with you all, and I better see some good reports! :o)

Happy Wednesday!

44 lbs...

You are doing awesome.  You are right, you need to give your body a break...if not, it will force one later and you will take more time off than you want.

Keep up the great work :)

You are so right...

about salt!  I never noticed how much it affected my weight until I started losing!  Your new picture is so cute!  Good for you!  What is KP?  I have little red bumps too!  They almost look like they are under my skin, and the tanning does help.  OH - I have to tell you I LOVE this stuff - California Tan makes a body wash and tan extender.  AWESOME!  This site had that best price.  My skin is soft and smooth!  Tan every other day to build you base tan - not everyday or your skin will dry out! :-) have fun!  I LOVE MY TAN!
