Feeling Great & Down 67lbs! PICS

jess_nuci · October 2012

Hi Everyone! I actually started losing weight November 2011 (I had to open a new MFP due to technical issues). It is amazing to me how I didn't even realize how big I was until now when I look at pictures and am completely blown away! I am reaching my one year mark and feeling a lack of motivation so I thought I would post some pics to get myself back on track to reach my goal; I have about 35lb to go!!!

I haven't done anything more than anyone else on here, just plain ole diet and exercise. When I started this journey I was barely fitting in a 16 and still wearing my maternity pants (my 2nd son was born August 2011). My shirt size was def XL and sometimes XXL. I was feeling crappy and exhausted and I know I blamed this all on having kids. "It wasn't my fault I was overweight. I have had 2 kids." I have since taught myself that that is no excuse. The reason I weigh what I do is based solely on what I eat and how active, or not active, I am. I am doing this for me and for my family. I don't want to develop health issues and I want to look good standing next to my hubby LoL I am currently down to a size 8/10 and happily wearing a M shirt! Here are my before and after and please feel free to add me.

Sept. 2011 about 220lbs

Nov. 2011 about 215lbs

Nov. 2011 215lbs

August 2012 168lbs

Oct. 2012 162lbs

Congratulations on your success! It is so great to hear that you did it the right way, by combining exercise and proper eating and didn't go for the quick fix!
