Weight loss pictures and update!

Although I'm not yet to my goal, and my actual weight loss is at a stall, I'm still losing inches! Here are some photos documenting my journey to a healthier me!

This was me in May 2010, when I first started noticing how much I had gained. I tried to hide my belly behind my daughter, but it just showed how big my butt was.






Here's me during the summer, August 2010. I asked that the picture didn't show my belly, just chest up.






OK, now for what's happened since. I joined MFP on August 4, 2010. I got motivated by some of the success stories here. I wasn't sure I could do it, but I was determined to give it a good try!

This is me now, wearing the size 12 stretch pants I bought to wear for Mother's Day. Keep in mind a 12 stretch will fit almost up to a 14.






I even got bigger during the summer months, and sadly, the button came off the 12 stretch pants.






Here's me wearing the size 8 tan jeans I got in Decemeber 2010, so I would have clothes that fit for Christmas.






And now, for the latest... a size 6!!!!






I'm so excited!! I never get to go shopping because we don't generally have enough money, and it hasn't been necessary, until NOW!!! I've been shopping at the outlet stores getting stuff I can wear pretty cheap. Even if it's only til I drop down to the next size. I still have a little bit further to go before I reach my goal, but I now have a healthy BMI, and my eating habbits have greatly improved! I'm setting a better example for my family too, and LOVING it!!
