Final Results

Well, I'm a bit tardy on reporting my final results of the 12 week Body for Life program but I do feel very successful. My results were very satisfactory and here they are:

Body Fat reduced by 3.6% - AWESOME!
Measurements: Arms - .625 inches lost
Belly - 3.5 inches lost
Hips - 2 inches lost
Bust - 2.75 inches lost
Thigh - 1 inch lost

The scale was not as kind as I only lost 7 pounds total from beginning to end but as I always say, the scale is deceiving. Not to make excuses but my doctor took me off of all my medicines two weeks before the end of the competition which could have easily contributed to the weight gain (water weight due to hypertension pills). It was a big milestone to eliminate high blood pressure meds and high cholesterol meds from my daily regimin so I'll take a little water weight any day giving I had lost so many inches and body fat.

My journey doesn't end here. I've continued to eat the Body for Life way. I don't count calories and continue to eat as healthy as I can. I have continued with my exercise plans and even bumped up an additional day of jogging a week while the weather is so nice so I'm exercising 7 days a week now but still don't feel like I'm over doing it. I will continue to use the pyramiding technique to my weight lifting and continue to strive to hit that "high point" each time I exercise. I've enjoyed teaching weight lifting classes at the gym and continue to share my experiences with others in a quest to help others just get healthy! Keep in touch and I will as well as I continue to reach my goals! Thanks for reading!
