August..Summers Almost Coming to an End

Boy has summer's end crept up! So for the past 1.5 months I have been seriously dedicated to calorie counting and exercising. July was wonderful, filled with reaching weightloss goals and feeling truly a sense of accomplishment. This past 1.5 weeks has been the complete opposite. I feel like the weight is stalling, and the ONLY way I keep my sanity is by measuring myself by trying on clothes that once did not fit. The scale is currently not my friend- but thanks to some weightloss forum's knowledge and motivation, this too shall pass and supposedly the plateu will plummet down!

I keep telling myself this is not a fad diet and a lifestyle change! I want to be healthy but of course vanity also plays a HUGE factor! So slow and steady is the best.. even with slow and steady I should reach my goal weight no later then January 2011! What a way to ring in the New Year, but in a cute size 4 or 6 dress! Fingers Crossed!

This is a semi early post with visuals and by no means the one month mark from the previous post. I wanted show myself that though the weightloss isn't huge for the past 1.5 weeks (wishing it would drop 3-4 pounds)...the slimming effects are obvious. This fuschia dress, which on the first fitting took 2 people to zip me up (July 22,2010), I can now zip up by myself. The chest area is a bit larger, and the stomach area is less bulgy.

Can you tell the difference?
