Then and now (hopefully with pics!) - Size 20 to Size 6!!!

crunchybubblez · February 2013

I've posted before and after shots before but I had a bit of a NSV this week so it seemed like a good time for some new ones I've been wearing baggy size 8 pants for a while now because I really couldn't believe that I might actually fit into size 6s. Well, turns out that I do (and comfortably - I don't have to force myself into them or anything lol). Given that, at my heaviest, I was in size 20s, I'm totally stunned! I also just went on two ski trips with my family which is a pretty big deal for me because I've been scared to learn forever (and using my weight as an excuse not to). Well, the weight is gone and I'm learning to ski :happy:

Here are my "before and after" pics (I hope!)

You look AMAZING!

Congratulations! You look amazing, and you're such an inspiration! It's amazing to see such dedication, and really inspiring to know it can be done. No more excuses for me - I'm sticking with this.

Great pictures! Your pictures show how you love spending time with your family and doing things outdoors... must feel terrific to be more healthy and fit enough to get more out of those times!

Congratulations!

AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing your pictures! When people tell you 'Oh, I lost 100 pounds' it's just so hard to believe, let alone visualize. But you have done an amazing thing - you have lost a whole other person! Congratulations!

I love that you are learning to ski! You look great, but beyond that it looks like your life has changed for the better (healthier) and that's key for all of us regardless of our weight loss goals.

Thank you for sharing your pics and your sweet message! What an inspiration!!! :flowerforyou:

What a wonderful post to find on my first weigh in when I in fact did lose a little. Great to see how this small but good start can end up. LOL my weight loss is so minor y ou can't even see it on my ticker. gonna change the stars to something else.

LOVE this! And you said something that I think bears repeating - there will we times when the scale does not budge (or it goes the wrong way) to not get discouraged! Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring transformation!

Congrats! Great success story! I too wonder how long that took you?
I am not sure I'll ever see a size 6, not sure for me that would be healthy ... but for sure I want to be smaller, single digit pants.
I started in 16 and now the 14s are getting to big after 3 months. Its hard worth, but for the first time I am seeing results and
very encouraged.
Keep up the good work!
