6 Months of tracking....

When I began tracking my weight loss and measurements through a spreadsheet I had no idea what that would look like in 6 months!!

It has been 6 months since we switched to a plant based diet, and 8 months since I started my daily gym routine and almost a year since I set my sights on losing baby weight!! I will share with you some statisitcs since January!!


Since January 1st I have:

Lost 35.5 lbs

Lost 4.75 inches from my bust

Lost 4.25 inches from my waist

Lost 3 inches from my hips

Lost 3.25 inches from my thighs

Lost 2.25 inches from my arms

Taken my BMI from 31 5/9 to 26 even

What blows my mind is that this is just what I have been able to do in the last 6 months. This doesn't include what I did from July-December of 2011. This time last year I was losing the weight from having a baby, and honestly I felt okay about my body. I wanted to lose 20 lbs and get back down to my wedding weight....but other than that I didn't have much more in mind. I didn't think I could get lighter than when I got married! Well did that plus 33 on top of it. A 53 pound loss in a year! Sounds like a small number (considering I have lost 140lbs total) but 35 of it has happened since January!

I hope these numbers give you all hope. I hope that watching my journey shows you that you can do this too!

It's that time again!!! M-DAY!!!!!

Here we are again at the beginning of another new month! May was a great month for me!! Sure I fell short on my lb loss goal, but I am realizing that my body will do what needs done on its own time. I just need to embrace my new shape, and enjoy the muscle mass and tone I am building!!!

I am adding a new category to my measurements, and that is body fat percentage!!
