My weight loss journey thus far.. (pics)

Wanted to share my weight loss journey up to this point! It's been 6 weeks of healthy eating, and exercising! (This week is my 7th week)

I do a mix of pilates, zumba, and I do a lot of cardio. I workout 6 days a week, and eat super healthy for 6 days a week as well, with one rest day a week.

I started off at 202lbs, and now I am approx 185lbs. I am nowhere near my goal weight, but I am happy with the progress and am really motivated! My goal is probably- 140lbs, so I have a ways to go.  

I am a serious 'yo-yoer' so I am determined to not let myself fall of the train this time- making it more of a lifestyle change then just a diet.

202 vs 187



This is from this morning- 185lbs, I have my period so I am a bit bloated *ick*




Thanks for looking!

You look great! Keep up the good work!

Quoting i made a vagina.:" You look great! Keep up the good work!"

Quoting Mama Lizzy :]:" You look really good!!"

Thank you so much!

You look amazing!! Really a huge difference, good for you!

Great job Erica! You seriously look great and what a difference!

I'm a huge yo-yo'er too. I'll be fine for a 6 weeks, then I slack off for a couple.. then repeat over and over again.  

January 1st, 2012 I started at 217.     If I would have kept with it, I'd be at my goal by now.. but like I said, I'm a yo-yo'er.   I'm at about 174 right now, which I mean, 40lb in a year.. I can't complain.

Girl, it's not easy! I am the Queen of loosing weight, thinking I am OK to slow down on eating right and working out and BAM, back to square one  

But yes girl, congrats on the 40lbs, any progress is better than no progress  

Thank you by the way, it means so much. <3

Right? And it's so much easier to fall off track than to stay on.   But we'll both get it this time!  

And thank you! I've been pretty steady with staying on track since the beginning of December, so I'm crossing my fingers nothing changes my motivation.

And of course! <3

you look great!

Holy smokes, woman! Even at 200, I have to say that you carried it really well. You're doing awesome.

You look great, congrats! And 6 days/week at the gym is amazing! Send me some of your motivation, please??  

Great job!!!
