Week 15 Weigh-in...

I have to say I'm pretty excited about this week's weigh-in. I did wake up this morning super excited to go on our hike up some small mountain just an hour away; however because of the rain we weren't able to go. Then I started messing with BOTH of my ears, and not too long after that I realized my lymphnodes in my neck are super swollen. My measurements show this to be true as well.

But before I go into my weigh-in, let me explain my pictures (posted follwing this weigh-in) and what I can notice myself. I almost look as if I'm starting to turn boxy! My hips/ love handles have practically DEFLATED in just one week!

Also there was a roll just under my right breast from where I had some back boobage going on. This seems to be disappearing as well! I THANK VERY STRONGLY the water aerobics I have had the privledge to do by myself this week due to the heat. Yay! So the change is G.R.A.D.U.A.L ... but I can honestly say I DO see one this time!

This weeks picture (week 15) was taken today and like I said I have swollen lymphnodes and I'm also sun burnt. LOL! Needless to say it isn't the most flattering shot of me, but I think I'm getting to the place in my own heart that I DON'T CARE! haha! Is this a good or bad sign???

So to my weigh-in results!

Started out at: 269

Weight today: 244 (lost 2 pounds)

Total lost: 25 pounds!

Totaly fat lost: 32 lbs.


This week was a pretty good one for me! Technically I lost 3 pounds of fat this week and gained one pound back in muscle, which appears to be in my hips, thighs, and calves. This excites me because I'll look better in my clothing if I'm solid underneath!

Neck: 14.75 (gained .5 in. due to lymphnodes)
Chest: 45.25 (lost .25)
Upper Arm: Remained the same at 13.25
Lower Arm: Remained the same at 10.25
UPPER WAIST: 37.5 in. (lost .5 in.)

LOWER WAIST!!!!!: 40.5 in. (LOST 1.25 inches!) Total inches lost on my waist: 6 INCHES!!!

Hips: 49.25 (gained .25 in. due to muscle)
Thighs: Remained the same at 23.5 in.
Calf: 16.75 (gained .25 due to muscle)

So I'm feeling pretty good about my loss' this week! I ended up having to buy new clothing to workout in yesterday. I've now gone from a 2X to a XL! WOOH HOO! :)

I have also noticed that clothing is actually really hard to find for me because it seems my post-partum stomach is "growing." (sagging.) It's pretty disturbing how the extra skin is moving South. Dan said give it a year or two and it should tighten back up. Perhaps I'll have another baby before this happens so Josh can give me that tummy-tuck he's promised me! ;)

How are the rest of you doing on your journey's thus far?
