My First Milestone Weigh In

Its been a month today since I went to the doctor and started my journey to a healthier life. This month honestly seemed like a very long month, with so many things happening and not all good. I started this month with gaining weight and had worked my butt off to reach small goals. I did reach my first goal to be under 200 Pd's but not my second goal to be 195 for my anniversary. I truly believe it's because I had stopped writing in my journal and cut down on my exercise for a week when I was nursing my puppies back too health. I stayed at 202 for about 2 weeks and became very frustrated. I didn't understand why I hadn't lost any additional weight. So I began again with my exercise/food journal and in this week I lost 4 Pd's. Making me 198 Pd's. I am very happy. Total weight loss for this month is 13 Pd's. My BMI is 38.16, it dropped 2.88 Pt's.My measurements are- bra line 36 1/2 in, belly 44in, hips 47, shoulders 39 1/2 in, calves 16 , thighs 28 1/2 in, arms 14(r)14 1/2(L)making it total inches lost for full body is 17.5 Not bad for the first month. I also noticed that my clothes fit looser and I went from wearing a size 18 to a size 15. I hope to be 189 by my next weigh in mid August. I am able to jog about a mile when before I wasn't able to jog down my street without coughing up my lung. I know eventually my weight loss won't be so high but it will still get me closer to the end goal.
