*Note* I just updated my member page (it’s about time), read it & see before/after pics of me here!
My last progress update was on Day 19. In a little over a week I’ve lost one more pound, so it’s slowly but surely leaving my hips. YAY! I had more slip-ups this week than since I started, which means I have to spice things up for myself because I’m getting bored. I’ve learned a lot more though, I finally sat and read through my 6 Week Body Makeover book that explains my body type and how my metabolism works, what kinds of foods my metabolism doesn’t process well and what my body immediately stores as fat. I’ve had this thing since last summer and never even sat down to read it. That’s how serious I was, huh?
It continues to be a learning experience, to say the very least. I’m starting to feel like I should just take some night courses and get credit for what I’m learning. :slaphappy:
I did my first full circuit training session today at the gym and it took an hour to get through all of the equipment doing 12 reps on each piece. CalorieKing says that 50 minutes burned 552 calories! Leanne says “Ouch! My biceps! OUCH!”, and I know in the long run that building lean muscle will burn more calories when I’m sitting here on my butt in front of my computer desiging stuff. So, lean muscle it is!
I need to go do my abs though – I spoke with the trainer today and she said that I shouldn’t be doing the ab equipment at the gym because of my back. The 8 minute abs on the floor has never caused me lower back pain so she said to stick with that instead.
I was thrilled at the grocery store lastnight – everything I needed was on sale! I love when that happens. 4 oz. portions of salmon – $0.99 each, fast frozen. Low sodium ground turkey – buy one lb. at $1.38 get one free. Red ruby grapefruit – $0.62 each. Sliced deli turkey for salads, 6 oz. for $1. The eggbeaters were on sale, the pre-prepared salad mixes, and whole chickens. I’m a happy girl!!
Okay that’s it for my progress update, I’ll post again when I lose another pound – hoping for less than 8 days this time!

Leanne, you’re doing fantastic! I’m so impressed. And yes, you gotta love getting the GOOD things on sale! Produce prices here are outrageous this time of year (picture $3.50 for TWO tomatoes!) and with a limited budget to work with, it makes it a real challenge to make the smartest choices I can. I’m so pleased for you! :clapping:

You look great Leanne! You actually looked pretty before, but you look much younger in the after pic. I know how hard it is to lose all that weight. I have lost that much and regained it so many times, and I am with you, no more gaining it back. This time it is for real. This was such a wonderful group you started and I can’t thank you enough!! Congratulations :clapping: on your loss so far, this is very motivating! Was your hubby surprised at the new you when he came home?

Congratulations. You live the talk, you work the plan–and you inspire.
You look beautiful! You are beautiful! I am so very happy for your success and strength during this! :bananadance:

Wow, Leanne! I looked at your member page and that is amazing. So if we send you a photo, you can put it up on our page? It will be the only photo on the ‘net, so I am not sure I want to do it yet. I know I am being silly.
You are doing so great and you look wonderful. I am so proud of you. Thank you for putting up this site. It really rocks!

Wow, I checked out your photos … what an amazing difference! You truly ARE an inspiration! :thanku:

Awww shucks, you guys are making me blush!
Yes my hubby looked a lot like this when he got home:
:jawdrop:
What’s really cool is that he did that again today when he got home from work. He’s been out of town for a few days and noticed a difference today. Dayum I’m a lucky girl!
(This is really hard work though. Don’t let my chipper attitude fool you! Sometimes I think my fat cells love me more than my kids and hubby combined!)

I think I should be jealous…I’m not, but I wanna be!

What is your grocery store? That’s perfect!! And I checked out the six week makeover. Sounds just what I’m looking for, really. Something to slap my flabby but in gear. Once you start seeing progress (like you!!) it’s easier to be motivated.
You are doing FABBBBB!!!! Awesome, girl!
