amazed by the picture!

I can relate to your before pic. I am still there, it looks a lot like I do. You have given me hope that I can do this and look good. You see people who lose that much weight and they look like they are melting. I am always so afraid of that. Then I see you and you look wonderful. You have given me new motivation. Thanks so much for sharing.:flowerforyou:

Just saw this and am thankful for your post & pics. I can do this - and it's not something that'll be done in a quick way but slower, healthier and life-changing. You look amazing - stretched out or not, and keep up the great work!!!

You look amazing! At my heaviest I weighed 230 (@ 6 yrs ago) and am down almost 100 lbs, but I would only wish I could look like you did in your bikini! I have to ask-where did your skin go? My thighs will never be what I want, unless I would opt for surgery:sad: ...
Anyways, keep up the good work!

oregonlady

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: do you have a pic of yourself that amazes you that you would like to share?:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

i've always been chubby.
i remember, in 5th grade, i had the biggest boobs in my class cause of my chubbiness. and i hated that.
i was bigger in high school than i am now.
in 2001, my husband died unexpectedly:ohwell:
i found myself weighing 240lbs but,
i was suddenly in total control of my life:happy: and the lives of my children.:happy:
( he was a control freek )

i have tried to make good/healthy choices in my daily life ever since.:huh: :huh: :laugh:
i eat all my veges and always choose stairs if i have a choice.
i have not reached my goal #, but i was awed by this pic taken of me last week while on vacation in cabo. :noway: :noway:
i look much better in the pic than in real life for i am "poised" and streached out!:laugh: :laugh: (skin/fat folds dissiappear)
but i wanted to share.

You will, you will reach your goal! I HAVE. It took me 9 months, but I did it! Hey, I just realized I just had a baby (9 months), get it?! My baby is my LOSING 20 pounds!!! (Eva doing a jig). Forget about the past and how you were as a kid in elementary. I myself can NEVER be 130 pounds (high school 1983). I will NEVER be 140 pounds (22 years old after I divorced in 1987). The pic you see of me wearing the straw hat w/Rick Trevino well, ladies I WAS 23 years old @ 140 pounds :happy: ; BUT I will be CONTENT with weighing 166 pounds at the age of 44 (I have 3 pounds to go). In 1999 when I was 34 years old, I was given allergy shots that contained "steroids" (QUACK didn't tell me I'd gain weight AND have periods that were ROCKY! :sad: :sad: ) and I GAINED 45 pounds 140+45= 185 (my biggest weight was 189). Can you please, please, imagine how many years I suffered because I couldn't lose the weight? In 2004 I married, in 2006 I had a baby. This year in 2009 I was so frustrated that I buckled down and VOWED I would lose this DAMN weight :mad: I have :happy:

I am LIVING proof! And ladies, you can, too! Today was Organizational day (picnic) at work. Did I go? No. Did I stuff myself w/Bar-B-que, potato salad, cole slaw, SODAS, and desserts? Hell no! What did I do? I worked out during my lunch hour :happy: WILL POWER!!!

I increased my work out regimen (I'm jogging/running now; training myself to), so IF, IF, I lose more weight, more power to me!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Blessings!
