Another one bites the dust…

And another, and another, and another…

That’s right folks. Yesterday was the dreaded weigh-in day at the gym. To my relief, I’ve lost another 4 lbs. YEAH!!! :D I’m totally excited about this. I also managed to lose ~1.5 inches on my waist or so. No wonder I can get back into some of my old clothes. Everything else was looking pretty good. I am slowly but surely becoming more symmetrical. Woot! :D Unfortunately, my body fat percentage went up just a little bit, but it wasn’t much. And the girl weighing me said that that number was prone to fluctuate somewhat anyway, as long as I don’t increase it more than 1% or so. And I was definitely in that range.

So, go me! I’m really trying hard not to brag, but dang it, I deserve to! ;) I’ve worked hard for this. So, with this new weight loss, that brings my total weight loss to 21 lbs. I only have 16 lbs. to go. Maybe I’ll reach that goal by next summer, just in time for swimsuit season (ugh!).

To all those out there struggling with your weight, just hang in there and be tough. There will be hard times, (I hadn’t lost any weight the last two times I weighed over a period of 2 months), but it’s totally worth it when you can fit into those jeans you haven’t worn in a couple of years or more. I’m wearing a skirt I haven’t worn since my husband and I started dating, about 4 years ago!

So, good luck and just keep on keeping on :)

    Here’s the other cool thing about this. You’re doing weight training as well, correct? That means you’re building muscle, which actually offsets the weight lost from burning fat. If you’re losing weight _and_ building muscle then that means you’re doing a _great_ job of burning fat. Amy’s trainer actually recommended that she not pay much attention to total weight, but instead look at inch measurements and body fat percentage (especially at first). In other words, it sounds like you’re doing really awesome. I’m very happy for you.
