Lindsay Whitesel Lost 8 Pounds And Over 4 Inches Off Her Mommy Belly ~ “I feel better now than I have in probably my whole life. I am energetic throughout the day and seems to laugh a lot more! I love my new life!”

“This challenge was full of life hurdles. There were actually many days where I just gave up, but many MORE days when I wanted to and DIDN'T!

The most important thing I learned during this challenge was that I am my biggest ally and greatest enemy. My internal monologue can make or break my attitude. If I let it, my little voice can ruin a whole day or week. If I ignore it or change what it's saying, the outcome changes as well. I've always known the power of thought, but I became intimately aware of it during this challenge. I by no means have it beat, but admitting I'm aware is the first step, right?

I also learned that sugar and wheat are not my friends! My greatest gains (or losses, depending on how you look at it) were during the times I cut sugar completely out of my diet and ate no wheat after 12pm. I KNOW what works, but doing it is the issue. My voice and I battle again!

Overall, I am very pleased with my results from this challenge. I've seen considerable change, both inside and out. I actually had another FYM (someone of whom I've always been a bit jealous) comment on how good I looked and ask how I was doing! That was the greatest compliment I could've received.

I want to thank all the FYMs and especially my best accountability buddy, Mandy (aka Mamakash). She is a wonderful, positive, loving woman. If you don't know her, do yourself a favor and introduce yourself!

My other goals are as follows:

- Do 6 unassisted pullups - Well, that was a bit lofty, but I am pleased to report I can do 1 (almost 2!) unassisted pullup.

- Wear a size 6 - Check!!

- 30% or less body fat - Check!!

- Generally feel better - HUGE CHECK!!
I feel better now than I have in probably my whole life. I am energetic throughout the day and seems to laugh a lot more! I love my new life~”
