Before After

Woo hoo!

Posted my first after pictures today. I've  lost 35 pounds in three months, not bad at all! Only 80 more to go... sigh...

Tonight my uncle is taking me to Lane Bryant to get some new work pants. I've been getting in trouble at work because my current size 26 and 24's keep slipping down (almost off!). I was going to just take them in myself, but I don't have enough time. So I'll at least buy one new pair and take in the rest myself later. I think I might keep one of the size 26's for an "after" picture. Y'know, maybe stand in one leg when I reach 150 or something.

I'm also realising that though I am losing weight, I don't think I'm going to make my goal of 200 pounds by Halloween. I would have to lose 4 pounds a week for that. I haven't done resistance training in over a week, and I haven't gone running since my new job... when I was doing both of those I was losing 3-4 lbs a week. But since I work on my feet all day I'm afraid to injure myself and not be able to work for a week or something. It has happened to me before. Maybe I'll split up my routine, just to get something in. Maybe work one or two body parts resistance training  each day instead of all 3 times a week. And maybe my running/walking route should be reduced from 45 minutes to 25 or something. I get my walking in most days, but not the running...

Anyway, I am still grateful to be losing any weight at all.

Edit: Why do I look like a deer in the headlights in all my pictures?

That's amazing!

You're doing so well. 35 pounds in 3 months is ridiculously good.  Keep up the great work!  It truly is inspiring to see so many people who are really doing it and getting results.
