I promised to do an update on my MOLO Challenge progress every two weeks and guess what? It’s been two weeks. I think these posts are all going to be just as uncomfortable as the initial post I made but it definitely serves as some accountability.
It looks like as of the 14 day mark I have lost five pounds. I guess I should be really pleased with that as I’ve been working really hard at eating well and meeting my exercise goals, but I have to admit that I’m a little disappointed. Maybe I’ve seen too many Biggest Loser episodes or seen too many people post on Facebook about losing 8-10lbs in a week using whatever product. I know that is a totally unreal expectation. But yet, I still wish that my 5 was a 10. And here’s the other thing, I’ve lost this same 5lbs before. Like at least three times. And it keeps coming back. I can lose the first 5-8lbs but then lose steam and it ends up coming back a month or two later. Ugh. So let’s just say that I’m very skeptical of myself right now.
I’m going to post my before picture next to a picture from the week of the update with each post. I had my husband take the current week’s pictures and clearly they are not from the same perspective, but we’ll work on that. I don’t think you can tell any difference, but really 5lbs is just a pinch here and a pinch there so you wouldn’t really see much difference. I’m sure there will be more of a difference as the weeks go on though. At least that’s the plan.
Can’t tell? Honey all five came right off your belly. If I lost weight right off my belly, I’d be so motivated! Keep it up!
Girl, you looked great today! I’m like really impressed with 5 lbs in 2 weeks! Do people seriously lose 10 lbs that fast? You are
…inspiring!
You go girl!!! I can definitely see a difference!!
That’s awesome! You can totally see the difference. 5lbs is really great. Good for you 🙂
WOOT WOOT you go momma!!!!! your tummy is looking great!!!
Well done! That is great progress. Remember 2 lbs per week is great to loose for long term loss. Also remember that muscles weigh more.
I was just thinking about your original post today! I need to get my butt in gear, but I keep getting injured and then it is so hard to get back going. I can totally see a loss, too, your shirt looks so much looser in the first shot! Way to go!
Just saw your comment today and I’m just going to say that I really needed to hear that right in this moment. Thanks for the encouragement!
Way to go!
Thanks for all the encouragement ladies! It really is helping to keep me motivated. Especially on a day when I don’t feel like I’m making any progress and just want to order a pizza. Clearly, I eat my feelings. 🙂
Great job!!! You can totally see a difference, especially in the last two! Stick with it my friend!
Oh wow – you go girl!!!
