I just found this old picture I'd taken of myself on my backed up cloud photos. This was at my highest weight so I don't have a lot of pictures. It was taken in June of last year, about 5 months after I had my daughter. I didn't start losing weight until december.
I decided to take a picture of me now and compare the two side by side. I almost cried. I can't believe I've come so far some days it feels like nothing. 36 lbs down with lots of muscle gained and 39 lbs to go

    39 to go? Go from where?

    My legs. You can't see my whole body in this picture. Trust me I still have a lot left to go. I'm a size 12 in pants and want to be a around a 6. I always lose from my stomach first



    You look great!

    And see, this is why swapping metabolisms (or whatever it would be) would be awesome! I always lose from my legs and am still waiting to see a real difference in my stomach! not gone down dress size in trousers really yet, some are more comfy, but all hang off my thighs in a huge way!

    if we could swap where we lose weight that'd be ace! *wishful thinking!*
