90 days in and feeling fabulous!!!

Re: 90 days in and feeling fabulous!!!

I am working out. I have been doing..believe it not the Biggest Loser Workout DVDs. I just bought the Last Chance one today from Costco, can't wait to try it out. They really kick your butt. The best thing is they combine cardio with strength training so it really helps to target all those problem areas. I also do circuit training 2x's a week which has really helped to blast the fat away in my middle. I work full-time and have a family so I know how much of a challenge it can be, but even if you can only do 10 min. at a time it makes a huge difference. I also invested in a ellipitical machine, I realize not everyone can afford to do that but I love using it on those days when I don't want to workout that way I can hop on, plug in my ipod and just zone out.

Re: 90 days in and feeling fabulous!!!

Thanks for all the kudos and compliments guys!! On the days where I feel "fat" or don't see the scale move I like looking at these pics to show myself that I have come a long way and should be proud. It's so funny one the biggest compliments I get now is on my skin/complexion. Not that I had acne or anything before but everyone says I look more radiant now like I exude health and vitality. Too strange.

You know what?!?!?!?! I saw a post from you lastnight (which had your new picture) and was so thrilled and proud of your accomplishments....I tried to find a thread about you or a journal and couldn't....so I JUST finished creating a thread about you in the Celebration section to congratulate you....then I came over to this category and came across your thread! That's ok, you deserve another thread JUST about you regarding your awesome success!!!!

Congratulations on all that you have achieved, I'm thrilled for you....you look wonderful!
