Weight Loss: 10 Pounds Down!

As many of you may know, whether you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, I have lost 10 pounds!!! Yeah I am super excited about this one. I have had a bit of a plateau so I have stayed at this weight for a couple weeks now.  But no worries the scale is heading back down:)

Even better has been my loss of body fat.  I have loss 3% body fat so far! I am pretty happy with that one too:)

Would I like to have lost more than this? Heck yes.  My goal for the summer was 30 lbs.  That was going to be 10 lbs a month.  But lets remember, I had shoulder surgery a month and a half ago.  And I have not been able to do almost any upper body.  This means legs, legs, cardio, and legs are all that has been done.  And when I look at it from that standpoint, I am VERY happy with where I am.

So I am probs not going to be meet my 30 lb goal, but hopefully 20 lb will happen before I head back to school!

I didn't think I was going to do this but.... I have some pictures for y'all from my weight loss.  When I first started I took some pictures, thinking no one would EVER see them.  Let's be serious...I was not looking good and was VERY unhappy with how I looked.

But after recently taking new pictures, and seeing this difference I just knew I needed to share this.  Not only so that I can completely document my weight loss here, but also to help me get over this whole self-conscious thing I have going on.

I started off weighing in at 206 lbs with 43% body fat.  (Writing that out was so much harder than you would think!)

I am now down to 196 lbs with 40% body fat. (I like the way that sounds so much better!)

So are you ready for the pictures yet? Well here goes nothing...

Please note there is not sucking in of any kind in either picture.  Also please note that I am definitely glad I have been spending the summer on the beach.  Tan is definitely my better look.  

I didn't really think 10 lbs would make that much of a difference.  My trainer has been saying for weeks that I look so much smaller.  But being that I see myself everyday, I didn't think so.  I thought yeah there are a couple places that have gotten smaller, but when I look at these pictures I definitely seen more results than I thought I would!

Well now that this post is done....I am going to go workout some more so that I can reach my goal :)
