Although I'm not yet to my goal, and my actual weight loss is at a stall, I'm still losing inches! Here are some photos documenting my journey to a healthier me!

This was me in May 2010, when I first started noticing how much I had gained. I tried to hide my belly behind my daughter, but it just showed how big my butt was.

Here's me during the summer, August 2010. I asked that the picture didn't show my belly, just chest up.

OK, now for what's happened since. I joined MFP on August 4, 2010. I got motivated by some of the success stories here. I wasn't sure I could do it, but I was determined to give it a good try!

This is me now, wearing the size 12 stretch pants I bought to wear for Mother's Day. Keep in mind a 12 stretch will fit almost up to a 14.

I even got bigger during the summer months, and sadly, the button came off the 12 stretch pants.

Here's me wearing the size 8 tan jeans I got in Decemeber 2010, so I would have clothes that fit for Christmas.

And now, for the latest... a size 6!!!!

I'm so excited!! I never get to go shopping because we don't generally have enough money, and it hasn't been necessary, until NOW!!! I've been shopping at the outlet stores getting stuff I can wear pretty cheap. Even if it's only til I drop down to the next size. I still have a little bit further to go before I reach my goal, but I now have a healthy BMI, and my eating habbits have greatly improved! I'm setting a better example for my family too, and LOVING it!!

    You look GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to you!

    Just curious, how tall are you and do you consider yourself small, medium or large frame?
  • tessjordan88

    I'm about 5' 4.5' and about medium frame. I started when I weighed somewhere over 173 pounds (that's my best guess because I found out later my scale was off.) My goal is 140, and I'm currently fluctuating from 146.5 to 150-ish pounds. Thanks for asking, and I hope that helps!

    That's great!!! Keep up the good work! Also, ROSS is your best friend. I've gotten 2 great fitting pairs of jeans for $10 each (and a $20 pair just because I really needed 2 pairs for work) and now only one of them fits me well ... and only up to 2 wears per wash!!! :happy:
