43 Pounds Down *With Pics*

(This is a repost from chit-chat, I don't know how to move it and I guess it fits here better)
I started seeing a nutrionist last month just to get some direction on healthy lifestyles...cause all this carbs, calories, good and bad...things confused the snot out of me. I went back today and had lost five pounds over three weeks. I was kinda bummed, because I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere.

Then she pulled up my weight sheets for the past several years...and showed me where I had weighed 218lb, I said that was when I was prego with my son and she informed me...nope, that was a few months post baby, I weighed more after I had him then when I was 9mo prego.

She showed me that what I hadn't noticed along the way was that the walking, and watching what I was eating is actually working so even though its been almost two years...I went from 218 to 175 ...so I've lost 43lbs. Which, kinda makes me grin like an idiot..

*UPDATE*
After talking to her I went back and pulled my pictures...you're so right about not seeing it when you look in the mirror...this was me at my heaviest...-embarrused-
and this is me now

Oh, and my hubby has been giving me greif about my'girly exercise video' the 30 day shred I started because I was so sore...well he tried it today and nearly blacked out.

Then said sorry, and he took it all back.

This also made me smile.

....

Done now.
