21 lbs down!! :)

_CHRISTIE_

I was taking my beginning pics for the 30 day shred and was so excited I had to share my progress this far... I know here recently I've been having a lot of people comment on my weightloss, but until I took full body pics I don't think I noticed it for myself, a while back on here I posted an NSV and a few pics but they were just of my face... I am finally starting to see it all over and it feels so GOOD!

I started this journey at 206 and as of this morning I am at 185 so I am 21 lbs down!!

These pics, the first one is from April 17th, my daugthers birthday party, the other is in the same outfit June 26th



We started a weightloss group at my church and our beginning pictures are on the left, I was having to wear maternity pants b/c i didn't have dress pants to fit me.. the second picture is from this week...



This last one, I have no idea why I was making that face haha....

I still have a long way to go and about 30-40 lbs til I get to goal but these pictures are def. a motivator to me, that I want to continue on this journey!! I started the 30 day shred tonight...and hoping to see results from that!! Thanks for letting me share with you in my journey!!

Wow, you look amazing! I can only hope to be able to lose 10 pounds a month, even as a kick start. i am down 6 lbs in a month and a half, so anything is better than nothing.

WOW!!! You look incredible! How did you manage to lose the first 21lbs? It's always nice to not only see pics but get a glance at the journey. Good luck to you and 30 day shred! I have never tried it but have been reading wonderful things. You can do it

Great job! I put up a pic from just after high school, which was 10 years ago. And I have a full body pic I took just about a week ago and I can't believe I am the same person.

Thanks, Ok I figured out how to make the pictures all the same sizes where you can see them better!!

I did it by completely following MFP!! I also was playing softball 3 times a week and doing that for exercise... Trying to always get my water in was another biggy for me... but by following this site...make sure everything that touched my mouth, good or bad was logged... and then anytime I had a chance to be active be active... and it started coming off pretty easily... Now that softball is over for me it's a litle harder to find time just to exercise but I'm working on it!

It was really ahrd for me to find a lot of before pictures b/c i was too embarassed to get in front of the camera... I'm scheduling this week for my husband and I to go have family pictures taken since we haven't had those done in years... can't WAIT to see how they turn out!!
