Here is a picture of me almost 1 year ago:

TheBeginning.jpg


I weighed 259 pounds. This picture is the one that finally started me on my journey.

Here is another of me last month. I was about 194 at that time:

During-1.jpg


And here is one from today:

IMG_1235.jpg

I weighed in this morning at 186. I want to lose another 20 pounds at least. It has been a struggle every step of the way, and I haven't always liked it. But seeing the results, and knowing how much better I feel, make it all worth it. Can't wait to show my "After" photo in a few months!!

    Are you following any special program? I am just tracking my intake and staying within the parameters of my daily allowance. ANy pointers would be great!

    Thanks! My first question is, can you see the pics? haha I can't and am not sure what I am doing wrong.

    I have not followed any real specific plan. I walk for my exercise and stay under 1400 calories a day. The past two months I started following a low carb diet as my doctor said I was retaining a lot of water weight. I also added strength training and that helped a lot!! Good luck on your journey.

    Edit: hmmm, you might need to check your pics on photobucket.

    Yeah, not totally sure what I am doing wrong. They are on photobucket and I haven't moved them. Will have to keep messing with them. Thanks!

    Yes, I saw the photos when I opened a new tab. You really look fantastic. I am sure its going to be a long journey for myself, as it is for everyone, but looking at your story really helps me. Keep up the good work. I recently quit smoking 6 months agoand put on 18 lbs, but I wouldn't trade those 18 lbs for the world if it meant me never picking up a cigarette again.

    Thank you! Congrats on quitting smoking. That is a HUGE step in the right direction! I keep repeating to myself that I didn't put the weight on over night and it won't come off overnight either. December 19 will be my one year anniversary of my lifestyle change.

    Yay you! We all have days where it's hard, but keep at it and it will be so worth it! You've already made such a HUGE difference, you should be very proud of yourself! And thank you and your husband (I presume) for your service to this country!
