Of confidence, that is.
A: 26 yrs
H: 5'8"
SW: 206.0 lbs
CW: 197.3 lbs
GW: 135.0 lbs
Before I started on my weight loss journey (including the nearly 2 years I was on and off the wagon with no success) I avoided cameras like the plague. If someone did manage to capture me, I almost never faced the camera. I had no confidence.
I've been going steady (or as steady as you can get with 2 kids, in the winter, and more excuses than Congress) for almost a month now and I'm down nearly 9 lbs. 9 lbs is only a fraction of what I hope to lose, but my confidence level is so much higher than it used to be. I wear the same size clothes. No one has said I look smaller or even noticed I've lost any weight...but I notice.
(See my new profile picture, for some reason it won't transfer from PhotoBucket. LOL)
Before: March After: April
Please feel free to add me if you'd like to be pals and support each other to reach your goals. I can use all the motivation I can get!!!
