I have been on this diet and exercise regime now for 8 weeks. Not a long time, and the time has gone quickly. I am happy to say that I have reached a milestone. 40 pounds lost, and a total of 48" lost as well. That's FOUR FEET. I am only 5'7" tall. So that is a staggering amount of lost inches. I take measurements every few weeks. I measure my neck, chest, belly, waist, left and right thigh, hips and left and right arm. I have been keeping track and I am very pleased with the results.
One very nice surprise I have encountered is trying on clothes that I have not been able to wear in a few years. I am currently wearing shorts that I have not even looked at in 3 years. The shirt I am wearing is an XL and it is loose on me. I was a 2XL 8 weeks ago.
So in order to celebrate correctly, I am not going to go on a pig out fest and eat my face off. That's what caused this problem to begin with. Instead, I am going to continue my diet and exercise program and look forward to the next milestone.
It is important to set goals. Don't set loft goals, especially in the beginning. Set goals that take some work, but are attainable.
