Updates!

I finally found some time today to make some updates to the totals on our personal pages and also for our "fellow travelers!"  

Today is mine and Nathan's 26th day on the program so yesterday was our day 25 weigh in day.  Nathan was out of town yesterday so he didn't get to measure yet but he has lost 13.8 lbs!  He is no longer wearing size XL shirts, he is now wearing a large. Hasn't been there since college! He hasn't bought new pants yet...just cinching 'em up with his belt. ha! I have to fix the creases in the back to try to hide it.  I am so proud of how well he has done even with being on the road and away from home so much with work and the Guard.  He looks great!  

I have lost 11 lbs and 14 3/4 inches.  More exciting to me is that I've gone down 2 pants sizes!! TWO!! AHHH!!! I'm also not wearing size large in tops anymore, yes, you heard me right...I'm a medium! :) I'm really excited about it, if you couldn't tell.  Not long ago, before starting this program, I was rubbing my elbow and felt this little pooch of fat...ON MY ELBOW! WHAAAT??? HOW? LORD, WHY THERE TOO? -my thoughts.  I've said goodbye to those tag-alongs! Also, women can relate to me with this one-men, stop reading and scroll down...you remember waking up one morning and realizing that your pillows had attached themselves to your back?  Just above or below (or BOTH!) your bra strap? Those mean, ugly pillows that make your shirts look bumpy in the back? Yep, I had them too.  Key word "HAD"...My "pillows" are back in my bed where they belong...not sneaking up under my shirts anymore! :D (big smile for that one!!)

I'm just in awe that it has been possible to make this kind of  change in our bodies in 25 days! And it's been easy! When you're literally seeing the weight and inch loss right before your eyes, it's so motivating to keep it up.  And also watching our "fellow travelers" experience it too has been just awesome! Hearing how great they are feeling and how they're seeing a difference in their clothes just gives Nathan and I such satisfaction and joy.  We have one who is a diabetic and has been able to decrease her insulin by half!! That's even more gratifying than the weight & inches she's lost.  Nothing else I can say about it...just EXCITING!
