SUPER job, Lil! Just keep working it out, honey. We'll get there sooner or

later. I'm at week 7..wishing there was more of a difference but I refuse

to give up now. Thanks for the update.

beth,

Hey! I like the sound of that. Can't wait to see what it looks like! I,

too, feel better and even look better (starting to look like a coca cola

bottle as oppose to spongebob squarepants) but my stomach still rolls over when

I

sit. This is why I refuse to get on the scale because I'm willing to bet my

numbers haven't changed much. And I'm still in the stupid 10! If I was at

least in an 8 maybe I wouldn't feel so badly..lol. So I'm shooting for a 6 but

would definitely take a 4...lol...so is it possible to pretty much go

straight from a size 10 to a 6? That will be miraculous! YIKES! Thanks for

the

pep talk. I haven't missed a workout either...I have cheated more than I care

to admit. Not an out of control cheat but not counted as clean nonetheless

so I'm trying to hang tough. It helps to know that you're out there doing

this thing with me. You should definitely be good to yourself..but did you

have to say, " massage!?!? " ...

Wishing us all miraculous transformations,

kim

Good for you, Lil. I saw a lot of progress early on but no difference between

my 4 and 6 week photos--I'm waiting for the legendary burn to incinerate this

junk around my waist! They say week 5-7 can get frustrating (yes I am) but I'm

just waiting for week 9, hopin' for some dramatic change.

I'm off to the gym for my HIIT. I havent' missed any workouts, which means I've

been to the gym 40 times in the last 7 weeks. Ha.

Best Regards,

beth

I *FINALLY* see a difference!!!!!!

Okay, started week 5 yesterday... I just thought I would share....I

am seeing a difference! Is it an astronomical difference? No. But

I am actually seeing it, now!

I am refusing to step on the scale cuz of many things I read on this

site about muscle weighing more than fat...etc. So I decided to

wait until the very tippie-end to do measurements. ..and just commit

to 12 weeks, no matter what.

I am doing my belt up one more notch...I know, it's only one, but

man, do I party EVERY MORNING when I do it! And my hubby told me

yesterday my pants were looking a little baggy in the bum. Yay!

So here I go into part 2 of this 3-month challenge and I am MORE

ready to go. Everyone that has posted is right, the difference may

not be there until like week 5 or maybe 6, but it will get there!

So thanks for your encouragement and HANG IN THERE!

Hey, Kim--

I'm not giving up either but I am kind of disgusted. I've haven't lost an ounce

since week 3. I look better, I'm healthier, that's what counts, right? Bleah.

Even a couple of pounds would make me feel better.

I did run again today and I'm up to running 14 minutes out of 20. Giant deal

for me. I have a new way of determining if I hit a 10--if I turn bright red

with splotchy cheeks I've done it. : ) I enjoy it in a strange sort of way--I

have always detested running. I think I need to give myself a reward this week,

I think I'll get a massage on Friday (my free day).

We can commiserate until week 9, when we will both undergo miraculous

transformations. : )

Best Regards,

beth

I don't post much here, but enjoy reading everyone's messages. They

keep me motivated! I, like many of you, have not had a drop in the

scale - maybe two pounds. But, I can tell a difference in my clothes

and am almost out of a size 12! Woo hoo! Plus the way I feel has

been the most rewarding.

Not sure what week I'm in cause I try just to take it week by week

to be honest! So far so good!

Welcome to the double digit club, where you're welcomed any time day or

night..lol..but guess what? Single digits are just around the corner! And who

cares if you don't know what week you're in, just keep pushing and keep your

eye on the prize!

Dreaming of all the clothes I'll buy when I'm a size 6,

Yesssssss congratulations Lil that is awesome!!!!!!!!! I'm excited

and happy for you!!! It just makes such a difference when you can

see some progress. I was just wondering if you had thought about

taking photos as you go along? I plan to take some myself just

because I know that when I look in the mirror I will be blind to any

possible fat loss, but the camera is great for picking up any subtle

changes and it just gives your confidence such a boost. Again, well

done!! Fantastic!!

Heya! I just started W7...and I will say, the only photos I have the

courage to take are my end photos (@ 12 weeks). Until then, I will

just appreciate being able to keep my top button buttoned...and hope

that within the next 6 weeks (through the holiday season) I am able

to go down another size...that is my wish for Christmas.

;o)

Thnx for the kudos!

Hi Lil,

I would encourage you to take photos right now.

Don't develop them or view them. Don't even view them.

When you get to your goal....break out the " old photos " and enjoy how

all your accomplishments.

Those before photos will help yourself and others understand your

whole story years from now You won't regret having them. If you

really want to throw them away at that point. It's an option.

M.

[Guest guest]

Thnx for the input. I did take befores...but I just won't take them

along the way.

;o)

But I agree, they can be valuable just for a marker of " from where I

have come... "
