I hope the pics work or maybe someone can help. March 18th I had enough with being overweight and I felt my baby deserved better from his mommy. I had a hard time getting down on the floor to play with him and my knee hurt all the time from the extra weight. I have been walking around 7km a day and logging in my diary every meal every day. It is slowly coming off and even though it's only 20 lbs, I do see a bit of a difference. I feel excited that I am getting healthy and feel wonderful on the inside and out. I have a lot more to lose but seeing the changes, it gives me great hope that I can do this!!!!!

    Great start! It's fun to see such a big difference so soon. You are in this for the long haul, though, Smart food choices, regular exercise, no crash diets. It's a lifestyle change, not a diet. Good for you, and keep it up!
    I started at 223.5, currently at 180.4. Thirty to go. I'm aiming for this Christmas. I have the rest of my life to get there, and when I arrive, I plan to stay there, not rebound back up to where I was like I have so many times before when I've approached this task without a plan or support.

    That is how I feel on here too. Everyone is sooo supportive that you feel comfortable enough to post those pics. Plus if you just continue to "hide it all" then nothing gets done. If you bring it to light, you can do something about it, the way you are now. Great job...keep going.

    Thank you, I feel good and that's what is most important. I am no supermodel for sure but doing pretty good with this lifestyle change. My husband saw these pictures and actually said wow, that is a big difference. I guess because he sees me everyday the change wasn't realized til he saw the photos of before and now.
