Take Shape For Life.....Progress!!!


I just completed Week 5 of Take Shape For Life.    Here is my progress report:
February 16, 2013 - I started the diet at 198.6
February 23, 2013 - Week one weigh in - 189.2  down 9 1/2 pounds!
March 2, 2013 - Week two weigh in - 187.6 down another 1 1/2 pounds!
March 9, 2013 - Week three weigh in - 185.2 down another 2 1/2 pounds!
March 16, 2013 - Week four weigh in - 181.8 down another 3 1/2 pounds!

In one month's time I lost 9% of my body weight and 4 1/2"!  That was with hardly any exercise - just teaching my Zumba Gold & Zumba Gold Toning class 3 times a week.

March 23, 2013 - Week five weigh in 180.8 - down another 1 pound.

Last week I put on my jeans that I couldn't wear for the last several months because they were too tight and created too much of a muffin top. The last time I tried putting them on I had to suck in my gut to zip them up. Yesterday I put them on, no problems zipping them up, and I wore a form fitting shirt and there wasn't much muffin top left!
So I may have only lost *1* pound last week, but I am happy to be wearing my jeans again! The stretch jeans that I bought earlier in the year, they are getting really loose and I'm ready to stop wearing them. They were a size 12-14.
Today when I go to the store I'm going to try the 8-10 and see how they fit. I might even buy them! It will be fun to have a smaller size on!

My first goal I am shooting for is my January 1, 2012 weight - 177.  
My second goal will be my 75 pound weight loss May 23, 2010 - 158.8.
Once I have achieved those two goals, I will shoot for my ultimate goal of 133.  Which is the 100 pounds that I tried to lose 2009-2010 when the doctor told me I had 10 years to live if I didn't change my ways!
