One inch travels north!

It's been a long time since my last thread although I kept on reading and sometimes posting to other threads. I was struggling with wo, consistency and stress, and tons of work. I was doing my best to stay consistent since November (after a few months of a very chaotic wo). I took Kayla's training (thank you Kayla!), I signed for Michelle's Commit-to-be-fit (thank you Michelle!) but I wasn't super punctual because all of the reasons above. Although I did my best. For the first few weeks I was 'fighting' with BWO but it was so hard! I had a choice - to hate my every single morning and miss workouts or to go back to More. I had chosen BWO because I really didn't have more than 15 mins daily.
Then after new year I saw how much stress I had been under for the last months of the previous year and all came to place. In January I was able to re-schedule my duties and start wo regularly. I continued with More and I felt much better and confident than for the previous 4-5 months. As you can imagine I was not very strict with measuring during those periods - there was no need, everything was tight

I wasn't losing anything. Despite my SP eating and my wo! But since I had made my decision in January I took my measures. I measured again in mid January and this Sunday. The results are: 2, 75 inches gone for the first 2 weeks! I mean really gone, after months of nothing! And my favourite part now: 0 inches for the last 10 days BUT half an inch goes up

Yup, everything is moving upwards! That might be just 0,5 inch but it is a whole 1 cm! Even more in some places! I have my tummy flattest than ever! Even than the major inch loss exactly 1 year ago! My legs and butt are not moving though, but I see them tightening and my upper part is changing! And this is from More, either the wo or home version, 3-4 times a week! And yes, walking the dog for 1 hour every morning. I am so happy I could go back to brushing daily too!
Today I started More again but I had to finish after the BWO portion because I was so much in sweat! I really tried to tuck, push and hold everything in place. So maybe, after all, I am getting where I want to be, just very slow

Thanks for posting!! What an encouragement to everyone to just keep on keeping on in spite of results. In time, results will show up. :-)

Good for you!! It's so exciting when you see things finally happening!

So funny, though, how different people are. I didn't notice anything much looking different even after I'd lost a few inches, until one day I was bending over drying my hair and realized that I was looking at someone else's legs! I really couldn't see much difference anywhere else, but my legs had defined muscles and my husband commented on my rear being firm when he patted it. So for me, the lower body toned up first, and it's still the area where I notice the most difference, though my arms are finally starting to show it now.

And I'm not discussing my tummy, which was surgically hacked into last fall and looks nasty. :-/
