Well, what can I say? I let myself go! Yes, I had fun doing it but fun's over! I was 207 when I finally said, "no more!" I had been lying to myself thinking I looked good and no one told me I was that big. Can you believe I even thought I looked good in this outfit? And, this wasn't too long ago, I haven't lost any weight since we took that picture... Funny how a picture of yourself can put you in check!
I feel beautiful, I just want to be thinner, more healthy, and have more energy. I am blessed with a wonderful family - four gorgeous children and a devoted husband who probably would have never said a word about how big I had gotten.
Well, I know these pictures are small, I'll get my husband to take some more. I don't know how to change the size :roll: I have so much fun tooling around these boards, they give me so much inspiration. Now, instead of eating all the time, I sit down at the computer and look up recipes and other's stories!
So, I've lost 42 lbs so far, and I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm not going to stop here, even though I've hit a plateau, I'm not going to let it get to me. I will lose the rest of this weight!!! |

Okay - I think I got this thing nailed! Here are some pictures of the "real" me! 8)
I just wish...
that I could find...
some pics of when I was over 200 lbs. I have one that I keep in my wallet, but I'd have to scan it in, etc. I remember not being around cameras too much at that time, I wonder why???
So, this is me - starting over - at 166 lbs today. My ultimate goal is 135, and my mini-goal is 150 by Christmas. Watch me!!! |

| You look great! I really like that last one! And btw, you are doing the right thing posting the "thumbnail" versions here. It keeps bandwidth down, allows the text to stay on one page instead of scrolling far to the right and if you want to see the bigger pic, you just click on it and it takes you to the larger version at the Imageshack. |
