Here's just another "fun" shot - I'm feeling good!!
What I noticed in this month's pics:
This month, I'm starting to notice a change in my legs....they're actually starting to shrink (THANK GOODNESS!!) My new routine does incorporate a few new and difficult exercises (lunges and squats) targeting those good old thighs so I anticipate that there will be a more visible difference in next month's pics. Overall, I'm losing inches - I could tell by my clothes and although the scale says I'm down 42 POUNDS, it sure feels like a whole lot more!! I'm so pleased and can't wait for next month. I feel strong and awesome.
I decided to take a couple extra shots showing how some of my clothes are fitting or should I say, NOT FITTING!!! Yeah!!:)) When I started this journey, I wore these pants to work practically every week. They used to be a perfect fit....THESE PANTS ARE A SIZE 22!!!
I can "ALMOST" fit my body in one of the pant legs!!!
PLUS size 22!!!!!!!
The pants are now too big and too long (guess my booty used to hold it up!)
This is me in a PAIR OF SIZE 16 JEANS!!!!!!!!!!! Size 16!! I can't believe I fit into them. I didn't even have to do that wiggle dance to get it to go up!! Incredible!!
Now I know I still have a ways to go, but I really feel that I'm well on my way and I feel great about it...please let me know what you think and as always, your support is very much appreciated..it has really helped me to stay on track.
Until next time...

What a huge change - you must feel amazing - the clothes test is the one that always make me feel good - Throw size 22 out - you will never go back!!
Oh my goodness! You brought me to a few tears! I am thrilled for you!
Your pics are wonderful! Your legs look great and will look even better in another month (and beyond)...
My aunt saw the pics too and said you look incredible!
Keep it up, hot stuff! :D

Goooodddd work! Tha's a kick in the b...for me I need to restart, I've been idle for a while now...question for you...since eating less cars and waking up at 5:30 to exercise and having a child and a job and a husband, ouf! can all take a toll on your energy level, do you drink any coffee during the day? and how are you coping with cravings now? I'd like to know. Keep inspiring girl! And your hair always looks good, where do you get it done? help a sista out!!!

@ A daunting tale of the scale...I am very excited for the shopping..can't wait!! :) I will post my "Day 1" with current pix from now on and if anyone really wants to see the month to month comparison, there is a slide show at the bottom of the page! Thanks!!:)
NIA!!! Hey girl, how are you doing? Great to hear from you and thanks for the nice comments. Believe it or not, I DO NOT drink coffee...never have...my caffeine used to come from Coca Cola and chocolate...I find that I don't need it...as long as I get about 6-8 straight hours of sleep, i'm okay!! I usually drink only water...the odd time I may have an unsweetened iced tea (but very rarely). The cravings are pretty well under control (for the most part)...certain times during the month (you know - our special time as women), the cravings kick in but it really is a mental game as well as physical and spiritual...at least that's what I'm finding so far!! As for my hair, it's done by yours truly...nothing much than a good relaxer every 6 weeks, a flat iron and sometimes hair extensions/pieces!!! :)
Great work! You can really see a big difference. Keep workin' it!
