I have been alternating between the Shred, running and Results Fitness everyday. I haven't been counting calories because I was feeling restricted and just plain sick of writing everything down. So I moderated my portions and made sure I was only eating when I was hungry. Since I haven't been counting calories I was afraid I wasn't losing.
But it's working!! I lost 2 pounds last week and 3 pounds this week! That is 5 pounds in 2 weeks and a grand total of 13 pounds lost!!! I haven't seen that number on the scale since Garth and I had our first date 3 years ago. I went into this whole weight loss thing to lose 10 pounds and I'm over that goal and can hardly believe it!
As it goes, you always want more. more. more, right? Well I'm below my goal and I want to lose another 10. I still don't feel totally comfortable in a bikini yet so I want to lose just another 10 and then I promise I'll be sastisfied and I'll post before and after pictures.
I do better with weight loss when I have motivation. And right now my motivation is looking great in a new dress for a wedding we're going to July 11. So far so good.

Way to go! New clothes (especially a dress) are always great motivation!
That's fabulous!!! Way to go!
that's such an accomplishment!! congrats!
Congrats, girl!! That's awesome... as I have always said to my friends when talking about weight loss, just do whatever makes you feel comfortable and happy to exercise, as well as throwing in some healthy, moderate eating that satisfies you and doesn't leave you wanting, and all those pounds will be easy to get rid of! Some people make it too much of a rigid science. I'm glad you're doing what makes YOU happy. :)
Congrats again on the weight loss! And good luck for July 11th... I'll be pulling for ya! :)

Yay! Doesn't it feel so good when you ca officially buy a new size and it be comfy? Congrats and keep up the work and you'll be there before you know it.
Good work, lady! You're totally motivating me to be better about what I eat and not rely on running alone...
I started back doing the shred again and remembered why I hated it so much. Ugh! It really is a fabulous workout though. Congrats on doing so well with losing weight! I bet you look awesome!

That is great girl! Keep up the good work!
Great! I'm so happy for you. And glad to say you are motivating me to become healthier as well. Thanks!
Awesome, Lindsey!! That is AMAZING!! Congratulations!
Way to go babe! I bet u will be smokin!

You can do it! :-) Although, i'm sure you were just fine to begin with- it's important to be comfortable in your own skin.
You're doing fantastic! I'm so proud of you friend!
Way to go! Congrats!
very proud of you!!! i'm the same way.. once i see results, i want to keep it going.
That's really awesome! I wish I had your dedication and determination!
Congrats! That is awesome. I use SparkPeople.com when counting calories - it makes it so easy and you don't have to write anything down.
Oh yay for you! I kind of fell off my exercise the last few weeks, but I'm trying to get back on with motivation using our trip at the end of July. I got tired of tracking my calories so closely as well, but I just need to be more aware again of what I'm putting into my body. Anyway, I'm so happy for you!
That is fantastic! You go girl!
Oh my god!! Wonderful!! I wish I could switch places with you. My a green eyed monster right now!

Congrats girl!! SO exciting!!
Soooo exciting! Congrats and keep up the good work friend :)
FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!!!
Having a motivation ALWAYS makes me go upstairs, turn on the DVD and get that 20 minutes over with --
YAY!
Congrats girl!!! YAYAY!! I'm still battling staying at my goal weight. I got under it (yahoo!) back in April, but, honestly, I wasn't eating enough and I wasn't running nearly as much as I do now, so, it's a hard balancing act for me, but, I'm working on it.
Congrats to you!!
That is so awesome! I'm proud of you girl!! :)
YEH!!!! We will have to change your name to "Skinny Minny"!!!
wow, that is awesome girl! I know you must be so proud of yourself! Way to go!
Congratulations- I am glad you have made it to your first weight goal and beyond! Please just be careful. I understand how addicting it can be to lose weight. I have been there. You are a very beautiful young lady, very beautiful.
Congratulations again- 13 lbs is quite an accomplishment.
That is amazing Lindsey! Congratulations!! I bet you look amazing!
Congratulations!
Woot!
I'm so proud of you!
Consistency is key.
Realistic + consistency= success!

Good Job Lindsay!! Keep it up, you'll lose the next ten in no time
Thanks for stopping by my blog! :) And congratuations! Moderation is a great way to shed pounds, indeed! :)
Wow, good work!!!
You are doing great! I am SO proud of you! I hate writing everything down too... When you get to your happy weight, you'll know!
Yay!! I can't count calories either so I just try my hardest to have portion control (which of course is NOT easy!!).
I'm so excited for you!!
Congrats! That is awesome!
Is Results Fitness a gym?!?
That's awesome! I could use a little of that motivation myself. Since the wedding the scale has done nothing but go up, so I just stopped looking at it. haha. I did just buy the 30 day shred...so hopefully jillian can whip me into shape!
Congratulations Lindsey!!! That is remarkable.
congratulations! Maybe stressing less about what we eat is a key to success?
Great job!;)
I bet you look stunning no matter what!
New clothes? Even a greater idea!! :)
Congrats!!!!I wish I had your dedication to working out! I was only dedicated in high school when I had a swim coach screaming at me to push harder and again in college when I disliked this one girl and wanted to have a "better body" then she did - talk about shallow!
YEAH, go you! That's wonderful, you. can. do. it. !!

i must say...celebrate the weight loss with a hugggge cake :) hahahah
Congratulations! That's a great accomplishment. Good luck on the 10 more, even though I'm sure you don't need it.
I agree with you, counting calories is too tedious.
You go girl! That's AWESOME!
That's awesome! You are an inspiration!!!
yay!!!! congrats!!!! :)
You're so awesome. I don't have anywhere NEAR the drive you do. Any chance you could bottle it up and send me a bit?
That'd be fabulous...
Congrats on your success! You're doing a great job!! I know how hard you've been working and it is so nice to see that it's paying off.
Awe, sweet friend, you rock!! Great job. You are such an inspiration, every time I read your blog, I just want to get out there and lose some weight! Congratulations girl!
way to go girl!! i had my body fat measured at the gym the other day and wanted to jump off a cliff after! so i'm back into this hardcore!! i need your kind of results!!
Doesn't it feel AWESOME when your clothes are loose, rather than tight? Ahhhh...I miss that! I lost 30 lbs after my last baby but am preggo again so can't lose right now. Come September, I will be back on the bandwagon. I'm really interested in what you say about The Shred, as I won't be able to run outside for the first few months after the baby due to weather. Would you recommend it? Have you ever tried EA Active for the Wii? I have heard good things about that, too, and am deciding what to get as a post-baby treat for myself.
