Week 17
Today's weight: 137.0 lbs, 33% body fat
This week's loss: 3.0 lbs, 0% body fat
Total loss: 20.0 lbs, 9% body fat

Still working out...actually worked out 3 times already this week because I didn't have to go in to the part-time. I finally hit the 20 lb. milestone (I wanted to reach it 6 weeks ago, but I'm satisfied). I haven't lost a lot of physical pounds lately, but my body is changing and I'm happy with it. My original goal was 25% body fat, but I may be revising it. I'll know for sure at my next milestone, which is 10 lbs by August 31. I know that's a long time away, but it's realistic based on my current rate of weight loss.
Now, I hate to complain, but it's even harder now to find jeans that fit. My thighs have slimmed down some, but they still are in a size range that's about 1-2 sizes larger than my waist. I recently bought jeans from different stores, so far the New York and Company jeans fit best (but still have the gappy waist, need a belt and still looks crazy b/c the waist is folded up issue). I'm going to take a couple of them to a local tailor to see if there's anything that can be done about it...
