Project 12: Remember those jeans?
You know, the ones I blogged about a while ago?
I got into them, and walked around Seattle in them, all day, yesterday.
I even needed a belt!
All the exercise, all the dieting. All worth it.
And my mom even called me after my sis told her about the weight I’d lost. Being overweight had been such a thorn at my side for so long that it’s become a family affair. You could cook an egg in my mom’s excitement (and relief).
So I went to the gym yesterday (told myself I can only miss a day a week) and found I’d lost another pound and a half, ladies, bringing the total lost today to 14.5lbs, at Day 18. That’s what, 7kgs?
I am doing it. I am fighting my fat!
It IS plateauing now and I need to perhaps lengthen my workout even more. Any suggestions, anyone? I’m now walking on the treadmill for 30 mins, staying in the weight lozz/cardio zone for about 20 mins. Then free weights and 15 mins of biking.
Three more kilos and I’m at my post Skyler weight. Ten more and I’m at my post Raeven weight!
I weighed 80kgs when I got married.
And 65kgs when I started writing.
Size 12 is about 58-60kgs?
Loooooong way to go!

Congratulations on your weight loss success! It is absolutely not easy. You are off to a great start! Exercising to lose weight takes a lot more effort than I realized. Pay attention to the changes happening and write them down in a journal. Reviewing your progress will help motivate you when the going gets rough. Again, you are doing a fabulous job!

Boy, you really lose weight fast. 7kg in a month? It’s a great feeling, isn’t it? Are you on Atkin’s Diet since you cut out carbo? Tried Atkins once and I lost weight pretty fast but not as fast as you. Size 12 is between 61-63kg

To combat the plateau, u got to increase ur workout duration or try do do some other different workouts maybe like jump rope which is really good. Just wanted to remind u, that you’ll find urself not losing weight as much & as fast as when u 1st started. But dont give up as it will definately take time esp if u got lot of weight to loss. But do ur workouts daily & eat healthily & will enventually reach ur goal weight. It took me 1.5 yrs to lose 40lbs. It’s been 4 yrs & I’ve maintained my weight loss (now 50lbs) thru these years my regularly working out.
Keep up the good work ya!

Knew you could do it! It was a good thing you were hopeful and kept a few of them jeans. I never thought I could fit into mine ever again either but I did and the 2 pairs that I brought along are now well worn out and has been modified into shorts
Now it’s time to dig your wardrobe for those pre-Skyler clothes and aim for them!
