5 Months ago a girl who didn't even know me asked me if I'm pregnant, it was the worst day of my life but today I want to thank her very much because she opened my eyes on that day.
After a long cry I've decided that was it, took a before picture and concentrated on looking better the next week.
My BMI was just under obese 29.9.
And so I've took a picture EVERY WEDNESDAY and compared it with the first week, after 1 month I was already impressed with what I saw in the mirror, I could see my body is changing and so I've continued to take a picture every week and every month with the same outfit.
This is me after just one month went from 175 Lbs to 163 Lbs (from 79.5kg to 74.2kg):
I was losing weight fast but not healthy had a peach for breakfast, yogurt for lunch and the same dinner as hubby, didn't know much about calories, I'm from South-Africa and we use kilojoules but off course a diet like that never last very long.
I wasn't able to lose any more weight it was very depressing but luckily I have a blackberry and was searching for diet tips and tricks and what have you, and I FOUND MFP!!! :happy:
After installing it I was hooked!!!
Tomorrow I will be here for 120 days.
Today I'm 148 Lbs (67.5kg) my BMI went down from 29.9 to 25.4 (ALMOST HEALTHY :drinker: )
My total loss:
Weight: -26.45 Lbs (12kg)
Neck: -1.37 inch (-3.5cm)
Above breasts: -3.54 inch (-9cm)
Bust: -4.33 inch (-11cm)
Under breasts: -5.11 inch (-13cm)
Bicep: -1.37 inch (-3.5cm)
Lower arm: -0.59 inch (-1.5)
Wrists: -0.39 inch (-1cm)
Waist: -7.08 inch (-18cm)
Hips: -6.49 inch (-16.5cm)
Bum: -5.11 inch (-13cm)
Thighs: -1.96 inch (-5cm)
Knee: -3.14 inch (-8cm)
Calf: -1.18 inch (-3cm)
Ankles: -0.98 inch (-2.5cm)
Total loss: -26.45 Lbs (12kg) and 42.71 inch (108.5cm)

Terrific job! You are very methodical and I think that has helped with your success. I don't think you looked pregnant at all in the first picture, but regardless you are looking healthier and fitter now. I think your cute shirt looks even cuter as you make progress.0

Second of all, You look amazing!!! HUGE difference. Congratuations on your loss, I hope that you are feeling amazing!!! You sure look great. ) 0 -

Awesome!!! I've been taking pics in the same bathing suit but not weekly... I've done it twice in 2 months but I'm also losing VERY slowly. Good idea to take pics in clothing too. You can see the difference in how things fit! Great job!0

Great Job! You inspire me. I also started at 175 just 2 days ago. Keep it up! You look great!0

One thing that really stands out is in your face. I noticed that your cheeks got slimmer and total face got more slender, more younger looking. You really are a true testimonial to what happens when you apply yourself to self improvement! :flowerforyou:0

You look great!
And I love that shirt!0 -
I had the same comment so I know how you must've felt, horrified! But, like you, that comment stuck and I eventually lost 20kg from the Shock and Trauma diet (that's another story). Anyhoo, you have done so well, you look awesome and I love that top! It shows your gorgeous figure and you do NOT look pregnant 0

Good Job! You're looking great. I'm just starting. 0

You absolutely did not look pregnant! You were beautiful then and even more now. Congratulations! That's great that you're using that as your motivation. I use comments that my kids have made to me as motivation. Although they never meant to hurt my feelings, sometimes teenagers arent' always kind.
Good for you! You look great!0 -
you look fantastic! great job!0
