Updated Pic - FINALLY!

kmcosgrove115 · October 2013

So I am 259 days or so into eating whole food plant based and logging into MFP - I am loving it, I am so healthy after a crap year of health in 2012 and my weight is coming off without effort!

I was immobile for months this summer recovering from surgery for a broken ankle that put in a plate and 7 screws and just kept eating WFPB despite that I could not exercise. I dropped 6 lbs in 8 weeks during that time. I am finally up and around enough to snap a new progress pic.

I am 31 lbs down in total and still dropping. I started at a size 14 (UGH!) and am now in a size 8 but heading quickly to a size 6 as all my new size 8 clothes are big already!

This pic just speaks volumes of how well it is going and how skinny I will be at the end! Me at day 5 - so unhappy and so sick!

I am finally starting to see myself as thin now after so many steroids for the lung infections and being so unhealthy! So weird to see these pics side by side.................

Enjoy and hope all of you are doing well!

Photoshopped! LOL!

Nope - it is really me and I am still somewhat in awe looking at the side by side - I guess when you look in a mirror every day you don't see yourself as losing weight - that is until you do a side by side like this which is a huge motivation...............and 259 days - my how time flies!

Thanks for all the replies!

Wow! Congratulations on your awesome success! I hope your leg is healing well, my SO broke his leg in 3 places this past March and has a plate in it as well and the recovery has been hell for him.
