44 lbs down in 3 months!

[hubbys_girl]

hi everyone! I started Atkins on January 8th 2007 and I have lost 44 lbs so far. My goal is to lose 102, so I guess I am almost half way there, just 7 more lbs and it will officially be half. Mostly the reason I am posting these pictures today is to inspire some people to start exercising!

On February 24th I started exercising, for some reason *oh yah....me being lazy* i tried to do Atkins without exercise, but a friend from around here *Adena* showed me some before and after pics with only 6 weeks between them and I was inspired to start a challenge for myself. The challenge was because i had stalled and didn't know what to do. I will be hosting a similar challenge for May. You can sign up starting April 15th in the challenges forum.

Hope these inspire you to get moving! Thanks for stopping by! hg~

Oh BTW I lost crazy inches durring my March personal challenge as well! Over 25 inches lost in 5 weeks of exercise, 7 inches off of my waist!



these pictures are only 5 weeks apart! The pictures in my siggy show a before atkins and after 44 lbs down comparison, these pics are 14 lbs and over 25 inches lost difference.

moving your body makes all of the difference in the world!

here are some face shots.

Hubby's girl - SWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! You're looking really good! The difference in only the six weeks is amazing...I've pretty much done what I did without much exercise, but now I'm psyched because I want to go further. You go girl!!! Are you just running, or dang........what are you doing!!! I bet your hubby is very pleased too! Congratulations!!! How amazing. I can't wait to see 12 weeks and/or 18 weeks!! Are you going to do that 6 week intervals....I'm going to link your thread tomorrow in the STACer's roll call!!!

Way to go!!! Excellent!!

Thanks Scooter! My dh is thrilled! LOL I am doing a dvd called fat to firm, and some walking at a moderate pace. I exercise 5 times a week for anywhere between 20 minutes to 45 minutes. Usually no longer than that. I have a one year old son who takes a lot of my time, so most of my exercise is done while he is sleeping.

Thanks so much for stopping by! And for your kind words!
