I have officially lost 30 pounds.
The 30 pound mark was the first big goal that I set for myself for two reasons. 1.) I’ve observed that when other people lose weight it becomes super noticeable around 30 pounds. 2.) I know that I can lose 10-15 pounds by crash dieting but 30 pounds would require a real lifestyle change.
There were some unexpected things that came with losing 30 pounds:
-I can do jumping jacks now (before, I used to march in place while pumping my arms)
-I no longer do push-ups on my knees (aka “girl push ups”) I do them in a full plank position
-When I climb the subway steps I don’t have to hold on the the hand rails for stability/assistance
-I can do laps in the pool for 45 minutes instead of 30 minutes
-My skin is clearer (perhaps from sweating out toxins regularly?)
-My knees are rarely sore
As you can see, a lot of the changes I’ve noticed are more fitness related. I will admit that the bulk of my weight loss happened in the gym. Getting my eating right is still my main struggle, but I’m working on it.
As I push towards my next goal of 50 pounds, I’m trying to remind myself of the popular saying “you get fit in the gym and thin kitchen”… not that I’m trying to get “thin” but at the end of the day, healthy eating habits are easier to maintain that a heavy gym schedule.
Anyway, I’ve lost 30 pounds!!!
I’m going home to California tomorrow, so I just need to make sure I don’t eat myself into an In-N-Out and Mexican food induced coma haha….
Soooooooo happy for you!! Congratulations! You’re an inspiration to many.

Congrats on your success so far! Great job (I am on a similar journey to you as well and halfway there). Impressive on the fitness improvements too. I find it helps me tremendously to keep measuring and tracking exercise progress too.

Congratulations! That’s awesome! I started Weight Watchers last week and doing regular walks during the week. I’m already down three pounds and loving it! If the food becomes a real issue for you I highly recommend WW…their point system is so easy, and it’s not about ‘not eating certain foods’ it’s about portion controlling the foods you do eat. I still get to enjoy my cake…just in a healthier moderation now. 🙂 Will let you know when I hit my 30 lbs too…because I AM going to hit it!

Great post! Congratulations on losing 30 pounds! One thing I’ve found to be extremely helpful and useful as a supplement to my current diet/exercise plan is Fullbar (www.fullbar.com). Their gummies and bars help curve my hunger, help me with portion control and keep me from consuming more calories than I really need.

Good on you. In and out ain’t that great. I find it kind of disgusting.
I can’t argue with the Mexican tho. My experience peruvian is healthier (I’ve never had a peruvian dish with cheese) but is still super delicilous. Eating right just takes a lot of pre-planning. One of my first steps was no more take out. So I had to be on top of shopping and cooking. Good luck and your doing great.
Same for me and El Salvadorian food. No cheese, except in the pupusas, but those are kind of worth it. 😉

Congratulations on that weight loss!! I’m right there on the crash diet results stage, 10-12 pounds lost, and hanging. This is where I always get stuck, get frustrated, and throw in the towel. Appreciate your post here. That 30 pound mark is an excellent goal.
