Change!

Wow, putting our before and current during pictures has been super eye opening!  I can't believe how much we've both changed in only 7 months.  I'm so grateful to have such a great friend be my partner in this journey.  We both plateaued the last 2 months and we are finally moving forward again.  We challenged each other to no sweets...which Shanna has been doing for the last 8 months, no fried food...including chips, and no eating after 7. I have now lost a total of 39 pounds! 

 Miss Shanna is rocking her new gym clothes!  She looks so good!  She's now lost a total of 44 pounds!

I hope we are helping some of you meet your fitness goals as we are meeting ours. We really love and need to hear from you...it helps us keep moving forward!  Take a picture of yourself today and make goals of what you'd like your fitness to be like in 6 months.  Then continue taking pictures.  If you do we'd love to see them!

6 months worth of work really is paying off!

All right.  It's that time again. Progress pictures!!!  I'm not gonna lie.  I didn't budge over the holidays.  I would go up 2 down 2 up 2 down 2.  But the important thing is that I at least maintained, and now I'm ready to get moving like crazy! In 6 months, I'm down a total of 35 pounds.

But Shanna on the other hand, with her resolve to not eat treats for a year...which she is rocking by the way...lost 5 pounds.  Putting her at a total 40 pounds.

Not gonna lie, I'm more than a little jealous!  We are both super excited for the new year and ready to blast through January.  We are debating on whether or not to start our own fitness group or not.  Is anyone interested in doing this with us?  You don't have to live locally, we would come up with daily/weekly goals and have some sort of reward at the end.  We could also do it for money or not.  Let us know.

Befores and Durings

All right, it's that time of the month again...time for our progress pictures!  I'm kind of excited to post these because I think we've both made great progress. The first picture was taken August 5th, the second on September 5th, and the last pictures were taken today.  So, there is a 2 month gap between the last two.  Shanna lost 12 pounds, totalling 32 pounds in 4 months.

 I've lost 9 pounds since the last pictures totalling 32 pounds in 4 months.

 Don't ask me why my eyes were closed in the first one???

I'm super proud of our progress!  How are you doing???

Exactly one month later pictures

All righty then...last month we posted our first pictures and we've decided to take monthly pictures of ourselves to show our progress on this journey...I gotta say that I'm a little surprised by our progress.  I think Shanna has lost 10 pounds since the first pictures, totalling 20!  Look how awesome she is doing!!!

 I've lost 7 pounds.  Totalling at 23 pounds.

Can't wait to see what next months results will be!!!

Shanna:
     This is definitely not fun seeing pictures of myself this way. It is what it is though, and I am determined to lose the belly(which sadly is NOT a leftover from having my twins!)and become toned and have MORE energy!!!

Erin:
    Wow, if you want some good motivation, take photos of yourself from each angle and decide if there's anything you want to work on.  My goal is to lose weight in general, and work on my leftover rolls from my twins.
