Mandy's Progress

So- my update is:  I did lose the 12 pounds (my 6 week challenge) and jogged 20 minutes instead of 2

Now I’m on my second 6 week challenge (this time the goal is 6 pounds and jog 30 minutes straight)..

So far- have lost a pound (so total loss now is 13 pounds) and I already hit 30 minutes a few days ago (1.9 miles)…  (I’m signing up for a 5K at the end of September).. my really cool news is that I just measured.

In the last 8 weeks I’ve lost 11.75 inches.  (2 inches in my waist/ 3.5 inches from EACH thigh, .25” in my neck/ 2.5 inches in my hips)  So- that was good times!

Yeah for you Mandy!!!!  You are doing it!  Slowly, but surely is the most permanent way to go!  I'm so happy that you're finding the strength within that you've always had!  Keep us posted--like I said, I need to live vicariously through you!  Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!!

Is there anybody out there???

Hello to all!  So sorry that you haven't heard from me lately.  Hopefully you understand, I haven't been functioning at 100%--not really even 50%.  So, I'm 12 weeks along now and keep counting the days until the nausea goes away!  Still having a hard time with food.  It's hard to eat healthy when only very specific things sound good--specifically meat--I've been craving lots of meat.   Right now, I could really go for some roast--weird, I know!

The good thing is that my workouts have still been going strong.  My belly's starting to make it a little harder to do as much jumping but I haven't had to modify too much yet.  So, that should be a constant if I can do it while I'm feeling this crappy--I should be able to do it through the entire pregnancy.

So, since I'm no help in the weight loss area, I was really hoping some of you might have some stories or experiences to share.  Just because my weight loss has temporarily been halted, you should still be going--right?????  Please let me know what's going on with you--I need to hear some good stuff or anything at all, since I'm very jealous that I can't really work on that right now.  Let me live vicariously through you all...
