This is my first official picture post and I needed an esteem boost today, so I was flipping thru old pictures looking for inspiration and thought I'd share. (as horrifying as posting pictures on the intra-webs is, I'm willing to take the risk now)
Just an FYI: I'm 5'6", 33 yr old, always have been athletic, and overweight. I have bounced around between 185-220 lbs for most of my twenties and then I quit smoking when I turned 30 (yay, 3 years ago and ciggy free) well, the weight crept up to my all time high of 255.2 lbs-YIKES!!!! I was pretty miserable to say the least. Then one day it literally clicked (I mean I have dieted for the better part of 20 years, so I knew the basics of WW, Atkins, South Beach, and many more) I started my journey on Mar 11th, 2011 when I walked a 5k for St Patricks Day and saw the picture below. I was mortified!
I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking: (hard not to cringe at these befores)
Start: 255.2 lbs on March 11, 2011
These pictures here are over the last 20 lbs. So, a 60-70 lb loss:
Current: 169.6 lbs...YAY, still headed towards my goal of 135. I started at size 20 and now am a size 10, with one pair of 8's!! I've lost over 140"...and swear by taking measurements...do it!! Woohoo!
You look ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!! I LOVE that purple dress in your after pic. The one where you are standing in front of the fireplace. It is GORGEOUS!!!! I want one. I actually weight less than you, but I'm not in a size 10 (I'm a 12/14) so I'm guessing you're much taller than I am. Anyway, where did you get the dress???? Maybe I can order one when I meet my goal weight?0 -
