Before and after study abroad

Hey everyone!

SO I just started on here yesterday, but I have been doing the weight loss game for a long time now. When I first started I was 300 lbs, but unfortunately I deleted all of those pictures so now I just have some from a year ago. Before I left to Italy I was around 235 lbs now I am 205 lbs. So total weight loss is 30 lbs in about 4 months of me being over there. I returned about 3 months ago and have been maintaining very well, but I decided to come on here for extra support :) Here are the pics!


Before: This picture is in Prague, Czech Republic a one week study tour with my school and is from Oct 2011

    The pics didn't show but I will say I also lost considerable weight while living abroad (Czech Republic for a year) but be very mindful of what you put in your mouth here because our food is SOOO processed while theres isn't, which made a HUGE difference for me

    My son studied in Rome last spring and lost 40lbs. Although he ate pizza, pasta, and gelato, he also did far more walking than he normally does. He said he drank tons more water because of the water fountains all over the city. Since returning, he's been working out more to maintain the loss.

    Good for you!

    Yes it is! :)))
  • I thought I had the pics are figured out, but I was wrong lol SO I looked up how to do it and after 20 mins I got it ;) sorry about the delay
  • Yeah I didn't really limit so much my eating, but between the walking, going to the gym, and dancing till 5 am I was able to lose the weight! I still ate pizza weekly over there, but I cut pasta out after a month because it got really repetitive and boring. So instead I ate fresh vegetables and couscous.
