Katinka Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 You look awesome! Are you taking pictures from the back and front, too? The side angle is actually where I've seen the least change on myself, so it's important to capture all 3! Link to comment
alienjenn Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm taking pics on the first and fifteenth (and measurements)... I don't see much difference in those... This just happens to be the same top and pants and I noticed how loose they felt so I snapped the same pic... Also this is the only full body pic I have from my heaviest weight...

hearthsinger Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 You really can see the progress! Sometimes it's hard to see in the mirror since you see "you" every day!

Eats-Own-Tail Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 this is amazing. can i ask- what is your diet like, and what exercise do you do ? id like to see some changes like those here is my blog, which i have made to avoid spamming the forum with all my little updates: http://toblackmarsh.blogspot.co.uk/ Link to comment
alienjenn Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I eat less.... And move more... I started with calorie counting with no changes to establish a baseline... My first goal was 3500 calories a day... Then every two weeks I went down 200 calories... I've experimented with strict atkins (the first time I got very ill and my liver swelled and liver enzymes rose and I was so sick my doc wanted me in the hosp but I refused.... ) I've done carb cycling (which worked but... Eh... not sure I want to do it again) in january I did a daniel fast (only fruit and veggies) and I felt fabulous... when I went back to "normal" I felt horrid... I'm going to do it again this challenge and slowly reintroduce foods to find my poisons... Right now I eat what I want and try to stick to 2000_2200 cals... I try to get a lot of protein (about 60%) because I feel best then... Im trying to cut processed foods and sugar/carbs... I'm probably going to settle in a paleoish diet... Veggies/fruit/meat... I like beans/corn and they didn't cause me problems on my fast... No nuts because they did cause issues I got a pedometer... And started logging with no changes to establish baseline..., my first goal was 1500 steps... After two weeks I added 200 to my goal... And so on... Now I average 1200 steps a day... But my goal is miles based for the month... I broke my foot in august... And I'm trying to work back up to where I was... My goal in feb is 75 miles biked hike ride... In aug I had 180 miles... When I first rode a bike I was so impressed with a 20 min mile (that I was so exhausted and sore that I cried) now I average six min miles and I regularly see four min miles... See my signature for links to my battle log and challenges... Feel free to friend me... I'd love to help you! It's all about small changes and babysteps... Two steps forward and one step back is still one (net) step foreward!
