Dieter's Update: The End!

I've reached the end of my 43 days and I am thrilled with my results. My weight today is different from my last day but it's going to flux up and down a bit over the next three weeks, hopefully no more than two lbs in either direction since that's what the next step of the diet says. On day 43 I was 142.4 and then on day 44 OR day 1 of my three week stabilization it went to 141.2 and then today I weighed in at 140.8 which is where I'm hoping I'll stabilize but I'm not going to hold my breath LOL.

For my final measurements I'm going to do beginning and ending so you can see the drop. It's pretty rockin!

..........Beginning 6/14/2010:.....................Ending 9/26/2010:
Chest           38.5  ..........................................35.5
Waist           37.25..........................................32
Hips             42 ..............................................38.5
Thighs          22 ..............................................19
Arms           11.5 ............................................11

Okay, so it's a little weird to me that my arms stayed so close, they went down at one point to 10.5 but then came back up, no worries there though they don't look too bad. Everything else looks awesome though! I am so excited at how well I've done and I'm super happy about getting to start the Stabilization phase now, YAY for more food! I was so stoked I celebrated by having a big fat salad with grilled chicken on it at my friend's Todd and Emily's home. We made our own little salad bar and I had Salad Greens topped with dried Cranberries, almonds, a little bit of goat cheese crumbled up, cucumbers, tomatoes, delicious grilled chicken, asparagus, AND an amazing Sugar Free Raspberry Vinaigrette that Emily and I found at the store a few weeks ago. That was seriously the best tasting salad I've had in a LONG time :-) SO worth it. I couldn't be much happier about my diet results, well I mean I could if I'd gotten a lot closer to my goal weight but HECK! I look dang good and feel good and am just happy that I got this far! Thanks so much to Kelley for the introduction to the diet and being an awesome mentor of sorts! She's pretty great!

Oh man! How could I forget...Before and After shots:

Note: My starting weight on this was 166.0 and my current is 140.8 so I've experienced a 25.2lb loss! HOORAY!!!
