49.2 grapefruits

Public Relations guru, Peter Shankman (the man who created Help A Reporter Out), has been on his own weight loss journey over the last several months and posted this photo this morning. Wow. As of today, I've lost 49.2 grapefruits! And hopefully I've built up some tangerines. I've been doing Zumba about three times a week and while the scale hasn't moved much in several weeks (I hear this is normal and can sometimes last five weeks or more...ack), my body feels different and I still can't figure out what size to wear. I have more energy and I don't think I've ever stuck to an exercise routine for this long. Yay!

  1. Wow. I've lost 70 of them, approximately (I'm at 117 lost this morning). I'm in awe. I'm also a little sad. It's hard to believe I had so much to lose and so much to go. It's daunting. It's amazing.

    You are too. Keep up the great work.

  2. Candy, Your weight loss is so inspiring to me! 117 lbs is so awesome! I know what you mean, though, about it also being daunting and a little sad. I feel the same way because I still have so much weight to lose. But we can do it! It may take a little longer, but we've both proven we can do it. :)

  3. If its any consolation, I may or may not have been kicked out of Zumba (depending on which witness you talk to). I am so impressed, but when you find something you like, stick to it. When that gets boring (and I mean really, as if Zumba could get boring - they sell pants with tassles on them for goodness sake - then you can switch to something else new. Keep going, Jenn!

  4. Thanks, Leslie! I haven't gotten any tassle pants just yet. :) And I find it hard to believe that you were kicked out of zumba, although I was kicked out of ballet and tap as a kid, so then again...
