Month 4 Of My Weight Loss Journey

I just started Month 4 of my Sensa weight loss program yesterday and today the scale claims I weigh 121lbs.

In Another Update On My Weight Loss, I complained about going from 121lbs back up to 122lbs and it seems I’ve been teetering back and forth ever since.

Unfortunately I did not manage to get down to 120lbs before February 1st. But for the past 2 days, the scale claims 121lbs, which is close enough I guess. It just means I’m going to have to work even harder to get down to 115lbs by the end of February!

main_175I have increased my daily exercise from 10 minutes to 30 minutes in December and for the past 2 weeks, I’ve been doing 1 – 11/2 hours 6 days a week. My torture of choice has been Total Body Sculpt with Gilad which airs on FitTV.

    For nearly two decades, world-renowned fitness expert Gilad Janklowicz has taught viewers how to tone and shape-up with his challenging and innovative routines. FitTV showcases Gilad’s popular workouts in a whole new series targeted to men and women.

Normally, I hate workout shows. They’re so cheesy and patronizing. That’s why I was so excited to find Gilad on Fit TV. I LOVE Gilad. He’s motivating, inspiring, not at all patronizing, yet he’s encouraging. I just love working out with Gilad… Lucky for me, he’s on several times a day, and 1 of those times is while my daughter is napping. Woot!

It’s amazing how much your body can change in 2 weeks. I procrastinated losing weight and getting back in shape because i thought it would take months and months. To my surprise, with the combination of the Sensa Weight Loss Program and exercise, I look and feel great!

I made a little scale to show my weight loss, for those who haven’t been keeping track…

So for the record, so you can hold me accountable, I want to get down to 115lbs before March 1st. That’s my current goal! Just 6 pounds in 4 weeks. I should be able to do it if I focus and keep up the exercise.

sensa_6monthI think the reason why all this exercise didn’t get me down to 120lbs before today is because muscle is heavier than fat. I think I just replaced a lot of fat with muscle and that’s why I’ve just been fluctuating between 122lbs and 121lbs for the past 2 weeks that I’ve been exercising so hard. I can see that even though the number on the scale isn’t that much different, I look totally different. I have abs again, my arms are slim and toned, and best of all, I’ve lost 2 inches around my thighs!!

I can’t tell you how great it is to put away your fat pants and finally pull out your skinny pants! I can’t wait to buy NEW JEANS! When I get down to my goal weight of 110lbs, I’m going to treat myself to a great pair of jeans like 7 For All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity or Rock & Republic.

Another Update On My Weight Loss

I’m pretty much convinced that Sensa works.

sensa_6monthLast week I told you that it was Time To Commit To Losing Weight. I weighed in at 124lbs and had lost 1 pound so far. Well now it’s the third week of January and I now weigh 121lbs!!! I am so excited!!! I am just 2 pounds away from comfortably wearing my pre-pregnancy pants.

I can’t tell you how elated I was to have to go looking for smaller pants. I went from wearing a size 10 in October – the biggest I’ve ever been – to needing a belt to keep up size 8 pants in December. This month I’m wearing some of my skinny size 6 pants and yesterday I actually pulled out a pair of size 4 jeans. And they fit.

I never thought that committing to losing this weight would make me feel so damn good. But it does. And it makes me want to keep going!

I don’t have hopes of being able to get down to my goal weight of 102lbs, but I figure I’ll be pretty satisfied if I can get down to around 110lbs. I only have 12 more pounds to go!

    BTW, don’t freak on me! I know 103lbs sounds anorexic to a lot of people, but I am a very petite 5’2″ tall and used to be a professional ballerina and dance teacher. Since I’m not dancing 6 days a week anymore, I know it’s unrealistic to be 102lbs, so that’s why my goal weight is around 110lbs.

My friend Ashley is borrowing all of my size 2 skinny jeans as her “fat” pants… She just had her second baby in July and normally wears size 0 or 00 jeans. (Seriously, what size is double zero? Is that smaller than 0?) I don’t know how she does it… But anyway, I would LOVE to be able to borrow back all those jeans as my “skinny pants”. I hate thinking about how the smallest jeans I’ve ever fit into being someone else’s 6 months post-partum fat pants! Ugh. If that isn’t motivation to lose weight, I don’t know what is.

I’m pretty sure I owe it all to the Sensa weight loss program. I was hanging out around 130-135 pounds for over a year. Then I started using Sensa and have been losing weight ever since.

Check out the video for some details on

Granted, that for a little over a month, I have actually started exercising too. I don’t think that’s making me lose weight as much as it’s just building muscle though… I’m doing a 10 minute workout with a DVD I got on Gaiam.com. I try to do it 5 days a week, but it seems like I’m only fitting in 3 or 4 times a week.

In conclusion, I want to get down to 120lbs before February 1st. Be sure to stay updated on my weight loss. It may inspire you to lose those extra 10 pounds!

See, now there’s one more excuse you can’t use of why it’s impossible for you to lose weight. Running out of excuses aren’t you?

Believe me, I’ve been using all kinds of excuses for almost 2 years now and I’m all done!! My goal in this new year is to lose my baby weight (I only have 14lbs to go.) and I’ve made a commitment to do it before May 1st, 2009.

I’m on the Sensa weight loss program. I started 11/1/2008 and I weighed almost 133 at the time. I set an ultimate goal of losing 23 pounds by May 1st and getting back down to my pre-pregnancy weight of 110lbs.

This month, I lost 1 pound so far. Not very much and I’m a little disappointed. Right now I weigh 124lbs. (Shhh don’t tell anybody!)

I want to lose 4 pounds before the end of the month. I’m on month 3 of the Sensa weight loss program, plus I’m doing a 10 minute workout with a DVD I got on Gaiam.com
