5 weeks out and I am in amazment

So today I am 5 weeks out. I have lost 42 lbs. Had a week stall when TOM came to visit but all is well now.

Some of the NSV's I have encountered:

Going from a size 18 to a size 12 pants and XXL shirts to L. All of my clothes are way too big now except for the ones I held on to and thank goodness I did.

Not getting out of breath to do anything.... and I do mean anything. :D

My boyfriend putting his arms around my waist and being able to grab his elbows

with his hands...and commenting on it.

Ex-boyfriends seeing me and telling me how great I look. :P

I have a ton but I have saved the best for last........

And sex is so worth it now!!!!

Ok, ok. I know TMI .... but it is so true.lol

I hope everyone else is doing great as well!

Congrats! Can't wait to be there! What types of workouts are you doing to keep the weight/inches shredding?

I walk and ride my horses right now. Well for the last two weeks anyway. I haven't had much weight come off in the past two weeks either but I have lost many inches. Went from a size 16 to a 12 in a week. I really want to get in the gym and start working out but I work 2 jobs and it's hard for me to find time. I just keep walking about and hour a day and increase when I have a little more time to.

That's awesome! Congrats! You are killing it.

I may try to up the protein and lower the carbs because I have stalled only losing 2 lbs in the last two weeks. That's my goal anyway. Hard to get in everything while working so much.

Amazing!!! :D
