Sounds like you are doing great and enjoying it also. Agree that you should have at least a small amount of clothes that fit perfectly at all times. Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-765070 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:30:39 +0000 Laurinda 765070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats, nice to see hard work pay off.</p> <p>That Angie is such an enabler ;-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-765058 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:16:32 +0000 Parsley 765058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you are on the right track, Nancy.<br /> Congrats on your dedication and determination, and good luck on your continued progress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-765032 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 23:49:43 +0000 Mochi 765032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L'Abeille, ideally one should find a person like a trainer at a gym who is trained to use the calipers. There are I think seven specific spots on the body where they pinch the fat (sorry to be graphic, but that's it) with calipers and so obviously the less that can be pinched, the better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-765028 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 23:45:02 +0000 Mochi 765028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention my promising results in spite of a penchant for frosting and melted cheese. It was only that one time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-765026 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 23:43:28 +0000 rae 765026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot afford the program, but I am subscribed to their emails. Great stuff in there as well, and I am so happy for you! I agree that you should reward yourself with great fitting clothes - maybe not any capital-I Investment Pieces, but things that make you feel the full impact of your healthy lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-765025 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 23:43:05 +0000 L'Abeille 765025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations Mochi!<br /> How does the skinfold thing work? ( I think alternate measurements than the scale are a great idea )<br /> When I was on my weight loss journey, I deliberately rewarded myself with a new purchase for every 5 lb. loss. Especially fun when needed because the old items were getting too baggy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764950 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:44:57 +0000 Caro in Oz 764950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said - &amp; a big congratulations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764847 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 19:42:11 +0000 Sveta 764847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good work!

And, yes, do dress yourself along the way please! Certainly a handful of well picked things could get you through to the next size or two. Surely that can be budgeted for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764752 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 16:55:04 +0000 Anonymous 764752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764741 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 16:28:59 +0000 Suz 764741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAYAYAYAY!!!! Doing a happy dance for you!!! </p> <p>This is great progress...and if you keep up with the habits you'll start seeing bigger results soon. The effects are cumulative. </p> <p>I think you DEFINITELY deserve to treat yourself to some new clothes! How about a scarf, a great pair of shoes, and yes - a coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764740 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 16:28:37 +0000 JulieJohn 764740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, so happy for you! That is great progress.</p> <p>I will have to check that program out, it sounds like a winner if you and Suz both had great results! Keep on truckin', you are doing great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764731 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 16:03:26 +0000 TraceyLiz65 764731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As someone who recently lost 34 lbs and on her way to another 19.... I agree that you do have to buy some things along the way. I have been existing without pants since fall hit because I had purchased several in a size I was not quite in yet.. (I didn't estimate where I would be by fall). Anyway this stage has been very difficult and I do not recommend it to anyone. I have been doing a lot of thrifting lately and that helps me feel less guilty about indulging myself. Good luck on your journey, it is never easy! </p> <p>Happy to say I am wearing one of my new pants for the first time today!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764726 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:52:02 +0000 Jem 764726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulation! It's hard work to work out and eat properly and stay focused. You are doing great! Precision Nutrition seems like such a great program. I would have started it a bit ago, but I had just missed the July sign up. You should be really proud of yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764723 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:49:59 +0000 Anonymous 764723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratutalions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764722 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:49:42 +0000 Diana 764722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats, Nancy! I agree with Angie that you should treat yourself to a few new things. Maybe don't spend quite as much on them as on the bags and shoes, but new clothes are always a nice reward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764720 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:47:38 +0000 JR 764720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would agree with buying a very few new items - ones with no room for expansion in them! They are your reward for losing and a huge motivation for continuing. At least that's how it has worked for me. I often buy a bit too small (best to check them out in a size that fits well, then size down) and store in my "reward" drawer. When motivation flags, the thought that those gorgeous pants will fit in just a few more pounds can be pretty powerful. I do try to buy really cheap in that case, mind you.</p> <p>And heart-felt congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764717 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:44:10 +0000 Mochi 764717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And Lean Eating does not prohibit one from ever having High Tea with scones. Just do so occasionally and in moderation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764716 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:42:46 +0000 Angie 764716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764714 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:39:53 +0000 Mochi 764714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh, well if Angie insists.... :-)</p> <p>Kristin, I heard about it here from Suz, who got amazing results. It all just made a lot of sense to me. She's written about it on these boards if you want to search out "Lean Eating." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764712 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:38:41 +0000 Angie 764712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!! You are a shining star!! WELL DONE. </p> <p>I do respectfully disagree, though. You MUST treat yourself to nice clothes that fit along the way of your changing body journey. Your goal is *always* to dress the body you are in right now - not 10 or 20 pounds from now. Just don't buy too much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764711 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:37:36 +0000 Kristin L 764711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Mochi! Where did you hear about this program? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764710 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:37:25 +0000 Mochi 764710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I got a comment already so at this point will you all forgive me if I leave this here just for this time? I did write it when I was in the OT area, but probably didn't designate it to the right place so it defaulted here. D'oh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764708 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:36:31 +0000 Mochi 764708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really not sure why this didn't post in Off-Topic. If someone reads this while I'm attempting to move it there, I apologize. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764707 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:36:19 +0000 Thistle 764707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! I know how hard it is to lose weight, and this is a nice success! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-3-month-stats-from-lean-eating-program#post-764705 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:34:21 +0000 Mochi 764705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My weight hasn't changed by much--about six pounds. My measurements aren't down all that much either. But the skinfold measurements--down 28%! I'm really excited and motivated to do much better with the food now. Loving the exercise and pushing myself harder and harder. Just got to keep chipping away at the laziness, lack of planning and tendency to revert to certain habits. I'm really happy! </p> <p>Only possible downside--I really shouldn't buy any nice clothes for quite a while (apart from a coat, perhaps--can't get by without a good coat in Boston). Hence shoes and bags </p>
