We went on vacation last year to Gulf Shores, Alabama. I weighed 212 lbs. I had just started on this journey and had lost about 13 lbs. Well, exactly 1 year later, we went back to Gulf Shores. So, I did before and after pics! I weigh 137 lbs. 75 lbs. difference. It seemed like a different vacation. I could do more, enjoy myself, and not be so self conscious about my body. I hope these pics help someone see that it is possible. Check out my profile to see the rest of my journey and how I did it.

    Thanks! I eat pretty normal food. I cut out cokes and Dr. Peppers. I drink lots of water. I try to make healthier food choices all around. I watch my portion sizes. I stay at or around 1300 calories. Leaner cuts of meat. Chicken breast, tuna, salmon, tilapia, soup, salad, etc. I love Special K cereals. I hope that helps...

    Thanks for sharing your journey. You are so inspirational and because of your share, I've opened up myself and began to share mine. I've noticed that posting my weekly weigh-ins are exciting and gives me something to look forward to.
