Progress Pictures!!
I just found some pictures that my hubby took for me last Saturday! They are the most up to date pictures that I have :)
The shorts that I am wearing had extreme muffin top when I bought them, I could barely get them hooked. I bought them in anticipation of summer and now they fit like a glove! I will be able to wear my really tight shirts with those shorts very soon.
I thought I'd include a cute picture of me and my hubby too! We are loving the summertime....I wish it could stay like this yearlong!

18 pounds down!
Woo hoo!
This week I finally lost another pound after gosh about three weeks of not losing. I knew that I wasn't on a plateau because I noticed that earlier in the week that BAM, seemingly overnight that my clothes were fitting so much better!
The pictures below were taken a few weeks ago so I am a bit smaller, but I wanted to show how dramatic 17 (at the time) pounds can look! A little background: at my biggest, the green pants were almost too tight, and the grey tank top was way too tight to get on.
Please excuse the mess...my dang cats decided to wreck havoc on the house while I was taking these pictures! Ha ha.
I just wanted to share with you guys my good news!
Stay healthy (and beautiful)!

Wow! It's been a long time.
Hello!
I thought it was time for an update. A lot has happened since December!
I got into Dental Assisting and took a few classes last semester. I start full-time this fall and am so excited!
I have finally figured out a combination calorie-counting wise that lets me lose weight. I was stuck at 5 pounds lost FOREVER and finally went to the doctor about it. I had read that women with PCOS need a ton less calories than women that don't, and she confirmed that and advised me to eat 1200-1500 calories a day. I had been doing 1300 with no luck, so I bumped down to 1200. It worked immediately and I dropped 4 pounds in one week! I have since lost 17.
I don't really calorie count anymore because it got a little unhealthy...I would map out my day while I was eating breakfast or a little after and would exhaust myself trying to get the perfect ratios of everything. Then, if something that I planned didn't go the way that I had wanted it, I would pretty much freak out. It was getting to be an obsession, so I stopped. I get on MFP every once in awhile and log just to make sure I'm still averaging 1200 calories, but other than that I have pretty much lost this 17 without counting one single calorie!
As far as exercise, I have been a total slacker. =/
I am in my second week of a Turbo Fire/ChaLEAN extreme hybrid and love it! I am determined to be no more than 15 pounds over my highest healthy weight for my height by early October. I have to have a physical done for Dental Assisting and want to be as healthy as I can be, and scrubs really aren't that flattering with a flabby tummy! ha ha. My hybrid will end the week of Oct. 15th so this is absolutely perfect.
I think that's really about all for my update, I will try to post here more often <3
By the way, I have started a beauty blog - link is http://nykkiez.blogspot.com , so be sure to follow me on there too!
Lots of love,
Nykkie
