Week 15 Over

This last week was a good one. I bought a size Large dress because it looked small for its size and when I got home and tried it on, it was too big. I'll have it taken in but I couldn't believe that I am at that stage in my weight loss journey where I can start looking at Mediums and actually fitting into them and buying them. I lost 2 more lbs this last week  for a total of 45.5 and have 35 more to go. Heck yeah!!!
Now in all reality I have only 25 left to lose to be at my goal weight BUT bc I don't have much muscle I have a higher body fat percentage. So my plan is to get to 125 and then gain about 5-10 pounds of muscle. That should get me right where I want to be and where I should be. Once I get there I will see how I feel and determine if I should lose more fat and put on more muscle. I will cross that bridge when I get to it ;-)
My goal is to be a size 4, a LEAN size 4 with about 20% body fat. Once I start lifting weights and doing cardio I will have my body fat % taken, from then on out I will be having a Check in day instead of a Weigh in day. Keeping track of my body fat % will be more accurate of my success than weight loss. I could lose 10 lbs on the scale but very little body fat, if that were to happen then I know I lost muscle as well and that's not good. If I lose 3 lbs on the scale but a good amount of body fat then I know that I am losing more fat and gaining more muscle, and THAT is what I need. Since more muscle burns more fat then I want to build that muscle and in the end I will be at my target and goal weight being leaner with less fat, more muscle, and hitting my goal! :-)
My short term goal for the next 4 weeks is to lose 10 more lbs. I have a vacation coming up with all my sister in-laws, and I have a pair of pants that I want to wear there and I need to have the length altered. So I want to fit in them just right. Wish me luck and my hope are the same for all of you out there! Thank you Medifast for making this possible!!!
