Progress Pictures

I think the time has finally come where I can post some progress pictures! I'm not where I'd like to be yet, but I'm coming awfully close! I think the best way of showing progress is comparing the fit of clothing. Yes, I've lost weight on the scale, that's going to be a given when you go from 165 to 133 (my current reading), but when you introduce lifting to your routine, there is muscle gain - which will fool those scale numbers. I choose to determine my progress through fit of clothing and other measurements.

So, drum roll please....here is what an approximate 30lb of difference in weight looks like! I'm extremely excited about my progress and looking forward to where I will end up!

One of my favorite shirts and jeans...the jeans now have a hole in the leg - boo!

MSU Homecoming game! The pants are so baggy now, I can't keep them over my hips!

The picture on the left was New Years Eve a few years ago! I now swim in this shirt and wear it more like an open jacket over a tank top. 

Probably the most dramatic one for me. The dress fits in a completely different way now!

 That's all she wrote for now folks! These past two weeks have really been amazing, clothing has fit differently - sometimes in a better way, other times in a baggier way. Either way, it's exciting to see some pretty dramatic physical results. It gives me the motivation to keep on trucking, maintaining and improving on what I've done.

It's been said before, but I have to say it again. I wouldn't be where I am now if it weren't for some incredible people in my life. This includes, but is not limited to - friends and family, classmates, Coastie, and KT. I love you all so much, and want to express my thanks and appreciation for your encouragement and motivation throughout the years. You all rock like whoa!
