It makes perfect sense! I am still working through all the mental changes that have to happen for the 'fit' me that I'm working toward to be the 'real' me inside and out. Yay for you!

Yes that makes a lot of sense. You do have to love who you are to get to where you want to be. I learned the hard way and now I love me and am going to do whatever it takes to be a happy and healthy me.

I feel you girl. I most certainly agree with that feeling that you may make unhealthy choices, like a LOVE IT size of Rocky Road ice cream with extra brownies, versus eating healthy, working out, sweating it up, toning it up just to see a weight loss of maybe 3 glorious lbs. Sometimes going for that Rocky Road ice cream AND exercising, eating right, and enjoying both sides of the road is best! Maybe not for everyday, but certainly, and most definitely, necessity for getting and reaching that ultimate happiness goal. Rock it girl! I love you and this blog!!

You will do it. You show us all how easy it is to lose some of the progress made, but YOU also show everyone NOT TO GIVE IN and FIGHT YOUR WAY BACK! I know you'll be back in those size 2s soon. And this time a little smarter along the way. More lifestyle, less obsessive.

Good for you that you no longer have a need for those 8-14s. I think this is a great idea! I'll have to take a picture when I get home from Utah.

I may start this challenge, since I've been logging more miles and needing more fuel for those distance runs, the scale hasn't been moving, I need other cues that my body is changing. You will get there again!

Thank you so much for sharing. I think a lot of us beat ourselves up when we see the scale going up, especially when we feel like we're still working hard. A few tweaks here and there will get us all where we want to be! Have a great day! Report Inappropriate Comment |

Great start. You'll definitely get back to where you were. I bought and wore some size 8's (pants) this weekend. I've never been in single digits before, so it was a huge thrill for me. Good luck on your re-start!

Love the positive note and your patiences. Your up and down sizes are real that's me too. I'm back in my size 8 jeans was wearing a nice 10 a month ago and for months. However months from now it could change hopefully a size 6 and not back to 10. Your doing amazing. Love the pictures.

Way to go April! Thanks for posting these. I've given away my fat pants in the past, and then it's always crept back up. No more!! (or at least, maybe I'll hang onto one pair of emergency jeans!). I have to get my photo up now too. You are so inspiring!!
