Diary of a Fat Girl

20 Weeks... it took me 20 weeks to get "Over the Hill"! Yes I am proud to say that I hit -50 lbs today! I finally reached a goal! It is an amazing feeling. Here's a little reminder of what 220 pounds looked like on me verses my new and improved 170 pound body. My stats are even more incredible. So week 4 is when I started logging my inches: Week 4:                           Week 20: Weight= 204lbs            Weight= 170lbs       -34 lbs Chest= 42.5"                Chest= 26.5".          -16 in R Arm= 13.5"                R Arm= 12"             -1.5 in L Arm = 13.5"                L Arm= 12"             -1.5 in Belly/Waist= 44.5"       Belly/Waist= 37.5" ...

So my weigh in this week is still the same at 172. I did lose 1/2 in in each leg, but that's about it this week. I would like to think that my muscle mass is what's taking over, but I really don't know. I feel thinner each week, and really that's all that matters! Not to mention I finally reached my size 10 jeans! Which brings me to this blog... I know once a month you get to see my body transform, but I wanted to see how different my body looked in some of my old clothes. OH EM GEE this was so much fun! December 2011:   Dress size 14/16 You can't even tell in this after photo, but all that fabric in the stomach has about 2 inches from it to my belly. It also make me look like I have NO BOOBS at all! August 2012:  Dress size 12 I look like a sausage stuffed in that dress! GAH! Look how much longer it is on me now. (Way more appropriate) I even have to take this in just a tad in the chest. I love this dress so much more now than looking back! Wedding Day 2012:  Dress...

This week was super tough on me. Between the soreness, pulling muscles, my period, and cravings I had a hard week, but my stats aren't too bad. I weighed in at 175 which I knew would happen being on my period with all that bloating, but I lost a total of 1 whole inch off my body. Haha! Next week should be better! I had some requests to talk about my special watch I wear during my workouts. So I can tell you what I have and how I use it, but there are so many different kinds out there for many different things. I have the Polar FT4F It cost me $64 on Amazon.com and honestly it's the best money I have spent! The strap is worn around your chest right where your sternum ends. The transmitter is the little black thing and just snaps on the strap. Then of course the watch is just worn on your wrist. The transmitter sends your heart rate to your watch so you can keep track of where you should be to get the best results. You set your preferences, like weight, age, and sex, so you can h...
