Remembering how far I've come...a comparison photo

My name is Chasidy. I've been on my journey with my husband since Aug 2011. I hit a rough spot in the first part of the year and I'm working on getting back into what works for me. Since we began our journey we've learned the most natural way that anyone can lose weight...is time, eating right, and escalate your exercise. Start by just moving..then transition into actual exercise that works for you and if that's too liberal for you, then try Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred or Ripped in 30. She teaches so much about exercise and it's almost fail proof. BUT you have to eat right. One bad day ruins that week. Have one good week, then two good weeks, then a month! DON'T stress the time because this is not going to be fast. Trade a year of your life for the healthy body you will have.

Sometimes you just have to take a moment and remember how far you've come...

    You look fabulous! I love the dress in that second picture. :smile:

    I just so happened to be wearing the same shirt today as I was when I went to Disneyworld-- back when I was nearly 300 pounds.

    Same shirt, five years later:

    Thank you all so much for your encouraging words, they really mean so much to me!


    @Ramberta, WAY TO GO!!! I wish I had my old clothes from when I was heavy...In April 2011, a tornado came through Fayetteville, where we lived and took our home. So I don't have ANY of my "heavy" old clothes (Although it wasn't until Aug 2011 when we started our journey)

    @Kiera0423 Thank you so much! I've actually been told a lot that I looked like "a girl from the Dixie Chicks" I never knew which one until now, so thank you! That's a compliment! =D

    @6spdeg Amazing job and all I can say is wow! Way to go!!!

    Thank you all again for your sweet words!! We really can do anything we put our mind to with hard work and dedication one day at a time with lots of water!
