About 90 days in... pics

edited September 2024 in Success Stories
I started actively trying to do something about my weight, just after New Year's. My aunt sent me pictures from my holiday trip to see my family and I was horrified to see what I looked like. I had been hiding from the camera for months as I had been steadily gaining weight all year. So, here I am, almost 90 days in, and I feel on top of the world with my new food choices and healthier lifestyle. I'm not done yet, I still have a few more inches to go (particularly on my lower body if I can make it happen) and I'm looking forward to maintaining my healthy body for the rest of time... or at least until I'm old enough not to care. :laugh:

Starting weight: 205ish (maybe more), picture taken December 26, 2009

Following pictures taken on an iPhone, so I apologize for the quality

Current weight: 173, taken March 29, 2010 in my first "goal dress"

This one was taken in a trick mirror - amplifies lower body, and makes your face look funny. :bigsmile:

This is the skirt I wore on New Year's Eve - THIS YEAR!!!

The skirt is so big now that you can see the leopard print lining.

Thanks for reading. :smile:

    I am 6'0" tall.

    And thank you, everyone! This is something I know I would never have been able to do on my own. If it wasn't for the community here, I think that by now I'd probably be closer to 215 than 170 and I'd have outgrown half my clothes and felt miserable every morning when I woke up. So, thank you!
