Getting in Shape

So excited!

I've lost 3 lbs in 3 and 1/2 weeks!! I know that's not a lot but I have been trying to lose that "last 10lbs" for over a YEAR. A few months before my wedding last year I couldn't get my dress to zip up. I spent $1600 on a nordic strider and used it for an hour 5 times a week and gave up junk food entirely and the scale would not move. Everyone told me I didn't need to lose weight, but that's not very comforting when you can't fit into your dream wedding dress. Well I didn't lose the weight, and had to get my dress taken out 4 inches. (they just changed the zipper to a lace up) I then decided I still wanted to get back to my old size. I made an appointment to get pictures taken for our one year anniversary and set that for the goal date. I bought wii fit a month before christmas and lost 4 lbs but quickly gained them right back. At two months to go before the date and STILL no change, I relented to calorie counting. I always thought I didn't have time to count calories and it would be lame to write down everything I eat when I know I eat healthy. We I got myfitnesspal on my phone and boy was I wrong! I love this app! It's so easy, fast, and I love that it keeps track of nutrients. Now I know I was eating way too much sugar, not getting enough potassium, etc. I'm finally seeing results and feel so good about making a positive change in my life.
