I lost 20 lbs just by lifting weights. Then I started SBD and lost an additional 30.
Heaviest: 185, size 16
Current: 135, size 6

I don't have many before pics, so sorry you can only see a little of me. It's probably better that way!

That is SO incredible! I can't believe how gorgeous you look. What a cute couple you are too. He must have been really impressed with you also.
Are you still doing SB? |

Congrats! What a difference.
I was able to lose 26 lbs. in time for my wedding. I wish I had found SB earlier and lost the 50 like you did. So jealous!! :D |

Thanks so much for the warm fuzzies!
Yep, still on the beach. I'm a "phase 3er." (To me, it's phase 2 without guilt!) I've also incorporated regular exercise. Me and the new hubby work out 3 times a week together. |

Thank you for posting your pictures! I'm really impressed with how much progress you've made! You shouldn't find your old photos "painful"... all of your experiences are a part of who you've become! Size 16 to a size 6... that is really wonderful!
I've lost a little over 50 total too (I lost about 10 pounds before SBD with exercise). I need to go digging back to find some photos of me at my heaviest as compared to now... that might help reinforce my waning motivation! |

You are adorable! And soo sooo petite in those pictures! Congratulations on your wedding and your weight loss.
How long did it take you to lose weight total and just on SB? I am convinced . . .I will start weight lifting in March after my race :) |

Over about a 3 year period, I lost 50 lbs.
The first 25 came just by lifting weights. I didn't change anything else. Then I stopped, went back to my old ways, and gained 5 lbs over the next year or so.
I started SBD, and lost 25 lbs in 5 months. Keep in mind Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, my birthday, and 2 wedding showers were in these 5 months.
The last 5-7 lbs have come off during phase 3 and has been very gradual. I've been in phase 3 for about 9 months. Now it's more about being healthy and less about losing more weight. |
