If you have been following me on Twitter or have added me on MyFitnessPal, you may have already been getting updates on my latest weight loss project. As the year is winding down, I put together some before and after pics. They are not quite progress pictures as I never really took the time to take any. But as I was looking at these pictures, I sort of see quite a difference. Do you?

Anyways, as of right now here are my stats:
October 1, 2011: 167.9 pounds
November 10, 2011: 157 pounds
Today, December 31, 2011: 152.5 pounds
So far a total of 15.4 pounds lost. After losing the initial 10 pounds I lost that first month, it was very difficult losing the last 5. Only because the holidays was upon us and I had quite a bit too many "cheat days". Now that the holidays are over, there are no more excuses. I plan to go hard at this. I have 27.5 pounds left to go to hit my goal weight. My goal is to lose that by the first week of May. Can I do it? I hope I can!
All I know is that I need to be really dedicated in the way I have been eating. No more of these multiple cheat days!
The one thing I did notice after losing these 15 pounds is that I can finally wear shorts when I go to the gym. When I first started working out, I would wear shorts to the gym. But in the middle of my work out, my thighs would start to chafe and it got pretty bad that I had to wear pants every time I would work out. I'm assuming that most of the weight I lost, aside from my face, was my thighs because I can now wear shorts and actually be comfortable!
So of course, my #1 new year's resolution is to lose 27 pounds. Here's to the new year, new goals and hopefully new accomplishments! Thank you for joining me in my latest journey, Project: 40 Pound Meltdown.
Do you have any weight loss tips to share with me? I am always open to new ways to help me lose the weight.
