I'm wearing the same jeans--only now instead of being my "skinny jeans" they sag off my butt like a pee soaked diaper. And my face is thinner. Beyond that? I haven't noticed much of a difference.
I still loathe my body. In fact, I used a friend's body fat monitor and found out I'm 40% fat. FORTY PERCENT!
Excuse me while I go vomit.
So. While I am acknowledging that I have lost weight, I'm also admitting that it's not enough. Let's look back at my original goal chart:
Pre-Elizabeth Jaci: lose another
Happy Jaci: lose another 15 pounds
Wedding Jaci: lose another 20 pounds
Skinny Whore Jaci: add another 10 pounds
I've crossed off a couple goals--and I'm only 10 pounds away from pre-kids weight! How awesome is that? I'm determined to cross those 10 pounds off my list this month.
I'm going balls out for 30 days.
I have 30 days worth of
Also, the same friend who horrified me with my body fat percentage--shudder--just finished the Iron Man and somehow talked me and his wife into a 5K in November. We have seven weeks to learn how to run for longer than 1 minute and do more than walk around clutching our sides and wheezing about how disgusting it is to feel our asses jiggle.

God luck! Have you heard of the Couch to 5K? I'm commenting from Mommy's phone so I don't have the link handy, but you can just google it - it's a program to get into shape gradually... Mommy's trying it out, too!
and congrats on losing 20 pounds - that's the size of me!
Wow! Congrats on losing 20lbs! I myself am trying to lose weight. I've gone down one dress size, only 10 more to go (ya I don't have an ass that jiggles but I do have thunder thighs).
Check out my blog when you get a chance! The posts Honesty and I Went To The Doctor, are good posts to look at if you're interested in my "adventure" to the goal of my ideal weight!

OMG I would LOVE to drop 20 pounds.
Hell, I'd love to drop 120 pounds.
Good luck and don't loathe your body. It does no good.
You eat either way.
Or maybe that's just me.
But seriously, have fun with that running thing. Ew. Superwoman, that's what you are. I can do 30 minutes on my elliptical, but couldn't hack running!
I am doing Couch to 5K!! It takes 9 weeks (I am sure you can cut it down...) You basically go from sitting on your ass to running 3 miles with no problem (ALLEGEDLY). I am on Week 3 and can't lie, running is definitely easier and I LOATHE running...GOOD LUCK and Congrats so far!
I have ran 2 5k races within the last month. It's harder to sign up for the race than to actually run it. And you don't HAVE to run the whole thing, it's ok to take little walking breaks. You can do it!
Good for you! I know you can do it. Now, if some of your resolve would rub off on me, that would be great! I still have 20 extra pounds on from my last 2 pregnancies. I say it's because I had them so close together, but truly its probably my love of fried foods, gravy, and sugar. Oh yeah, and the fact that my only excercise is running after the kids. Let me know how the training for the 5K goes. I could definitely use pointers on how to get off my butt and get started!!
I highly suggest the Couch-to-5K running plan. I just graduated last night and run (eek) my first 5k on Sunday.
It works. I promise. You can do it. I had a baby 15 months ago. I was lazy and out of shape. Plus I have a congenital heart condition that has always made cardio bloody hell for me. But, I did it.
Check it.
