As most of you know, on May 20 I joined the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans and started Shredding away the pounds. The Sisterhood has a new summer challenge - Shrinking Days of Summer - and it's not too late to join, since today is Day 1. The great thing about this challenge is you can team up. I'm teamed up with four other women from around the U. S. to form Team Navy!!

I have to say that this is going to be hard for me - posting my weight - for my friends and family to see. I don't mind strangers knowing because they don't know me.

Starting Weight (6/3) - 161.8lbs
Now, I mentioned last week that we finally bought a scale. My husband and I weighed up and I was at 166.4lbs. So, with all the Shredding I've been doing:
I lost 4.6lbs (2.76%) in one week!!
That's amazing for me. I'm pretty pumped about that. I haven't seen my measurements change but I have noticed there's less jiggle during my jumping jacks. ;)
So, pray for me and encourage me. And GO TEAM NAVY!! Let's lose some pounds!
* This morning I was up at 5:45am to Shred with a friend at 6am. Third day of Level 2 and it kicked my butt...well, more literally my shoulders. ;)

Great loss for the week!! And thanks for joining us! We're so glad to have you!
ReplyDeleteYou said you weren't sure what an ideal weight would be for you. That depends on how tall you are and what your bone structure is. I'm 5'3" with a medium bone structure, so 130 is a good weight for me. Make sense?
Good luck this challenge!!
Wow, great job!! Good luck on the challenge!
