Before/After 113 lbs

Manda_H

I started a post like this before but realized I was only showing half the story. So I attached some pictures this time from my all time heaviest weight (approx 270-280) which was in June 2007... (i lost all the weight with the help of MFP and got down to 141 lbs and then got pregnant again and rose back up to 220 lbs... and im currently finishing the rest of that weight off again...) im currently at 157 lbs so I have 20 lbs left approx but I figure I would show my puctures here to help inspire others because even if I stayed at 156 lbs I have accomplished something huge... I am over 100 lbs lighter than my heaviest weight now 4 years later. I know a lot of people who lose weight and gain it back and there it sits.... even without a pregnancy... SOOO... without further delay- here are some of my pictures



Then some collages I made cause for some silly reason I cannot find the original pics at the moment to divide it up





I realized today that my waist is currently the same width (inch wise) that my thighs had been at my heaviest. As for the biggest effect on losing weight? lowered carbs. I went from 80% of my diet being refined carbs to 90% of my diet being fat and protein. I am not an exerciseaholic. oh and I gave up regular pop! I traded in my ice cream for chicken breasts. I traded my doritoes in for pepperoni and string cheese.
