edited December 2024 in Success Stories
I decided in November 2011 that I'd had enough of this lifestyle. It was time to get in shape. I started doing Zumba 3 times a week with an intense instructor and have been walking a lot more with my dog and boyfriend. I've been doing this for 6 months now and seeing everyone's "before" picture comparisons made me wish I had take a "before" picture as well.

I was able to dig up a picture from last July while on vacation with my family. Looking at it for the first time in months, I almost fell out of my chair. Although I just hit 35 lbs this morning, I compared it with a picture taken a week ago. I'm still a long way from where I want to be but seeing the comparison has refueled my fire!

Can you see the difference too?!

    Oh my goodness, you look amazing. First of all you are such a beautiful woman no matter what your weight is but I can definitely see a difference. I new I could see a difference in some of my photos too but it wasn't until I did a side by side comparison. Some photos I was amazed by my loss and then some photos I was like uggghhh I still have so much to lose and so far to go but you know what, it is okay bc look at what I have lost already. If 27 lbs can make such a difference then think what 35 lbs is going to show, or 50 lbs. So now I am just so excited to get to those losses and it keeps me motivated.

    I see a big difference! I am at ~ 16 pounds down and I can't see much of a difference when I look in the mirror. I need to pull up a pic from before and use it for comparison. Maybe that would help too. Keep up the good work!
