I never thought of myself as over weight until earlier this year. I am not 100% what finally clicked for me, but I'm so glad it did. I started my journey at 5'6" and 198lbs. This first pic is at Cowboys Stadium with my boyfriend. Notice I am pulling at my shirt to hide the little, ok big, fat roll... Oct 2010

The next one is early sping 2012; I was having a body wrap done and wanted to see if there were any changes. My daughter took the pic, but to me it still shows what just a few pounds will do for a person...

Weight 198 lbs
Waist 37"
Hips 48"
Thighs 29"

This was just earlier today
Weight 179 lbs
Waist 33.5"
Hips 22.75"
Thighs 26"

And Best of all. Fitting into my favorite jeans that I have not worn since Feb 2009...

I hope that next month I will be able to do this again with great results. A little over one month in and there is no way I am turning back now.

PS if the pics don't show up I will get back in and try again, this is the first time I have tried to add pics... Fingers are crossed

    thanks for posting this... I've lost 18 and i can't SEE the difference, but I fit into pants I couldn't wear before and even my leather jacket that had gotten too tight. People are just beginning to notice, so it's nice to see what that amount lost looks like on someone else. You look great and you really have a nice shape.

    Thanks, People were saying that I look good and they could tell I was dropping a few pounds, but honestly it was someone else's post earlier about taking before, during, and after pics that prompted me to take pics today. I could not believe what I was seeing on the screen so I had to post..

    And thanks, I knew there was a hour glass under there somewhere but for the last feww years it has been more of a grand father clock.

    have you taken pics? It really has given me a little extra something seeing the pics. I wasn't sure about adding the bathing suit pics, but hey that is the old me, and the me under construction... So no biggie :tongue:

    Not trying to be a creeper, but you have the perfect shape! Its amazing how much 19lbs can change a person. Your "after" is pretty much my goal, although I'm an inch shorter and more of an apple shape, so I wont look as amazing but I'll take it, lol.

    Fantastic work!

    Feel free to add me and we can help keep each other on track. A month ago I would want anyone looking at pics of me, but I think I may become a pic *kitten*, and post pics everywhere..... :)
