HA!
Thought it'd be nekkid, or at least a bathing suit, didn't you ... naughty monkeys. Actually, there's not much to see, but thought I ought to at least post something for comparison. The "before" is about 5 years ago ... I was probably around 170 at the time ...
The next is about 7 months along with the twins (who will turn 4 in August). Pretty close to 200. I'd be the blue blimp, 2nd in from the left.
This one was just taken in April 2007 at a retreat center. I'm somewhere around 159 (and VERY good at camoflaging the trouble spots!), but I'm pretty happy with where things are going. Lots of padding yet to go, but I'm on my way!
Oh, all right, and a gym pic from the same day ...
October 2007 with my brother and cousins ...
Most recent one, though the picture is from mid-November, but I'm about the same weight right now (around 153-ish)
That's it! Thanks for dropping by. |

Yay!! Finally get to see what the wonderful Laura looks like! You look absolutely amazing! (and, yes, you do hide your trouble spots very well because it looks to me like you don't need to lose an ounce!) :)

| Beautiful! Though I must say, even when you had that extra weight you carried it well.. and you looked beautiful pregnant too! Congrats on all the success though, your work has really paid off! |

:oops: Thanks so much! :oops:
I have a good amount of, um, insulation covering my upper legs, hips, butt and stomach (covered by the flattering black pants) - I have really broad shoulders, so it balances things out a bit. I also have big feet for my height, so I'm a bit duck-like ... !
Anyway, it's very cool to see definition in areas that were just soft, white squish for many, many years ... I'm pleased with where I've gotten to, but know I'm very much on a journey that I've just begun.
NSV - I actually had to wear a belt (a belt!!!) with those pants ... it's been years since I've worn a belt with anything. That was cool.
Again, thanks for your kind comments!

Thanks so much! As of today, end of the Beaglebug challenge (5 weeks), I've lost 6" and 7 pounds!
Inconceivable!!!
Thanks again to everyone who's helping to keep me moving in the right direction. Your encouragement and support mean the world to me ... :D |

Bikini pic?????? Bwwaaaaahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Sorry (wipes tears away from eyes) ... no matter how much I may lose and tone up, my poor tummy is SO stretched out from my pregnancies that, barring surgery or a bikini bottom that comes up to my "girls," there is NO WAY it's gonna see the light of day!
Who knows? I never thought I'd get this far, so maybe when I've done this successfully for a long time I'll find my body's changed more than I thought possible.
I don't think so, though. :lol:
Thanks so much for the vote of confidence! |

Unbelieveable! How tall are you? You already look like PERFECTION to me! You don't look like you have ANY more to lose and I could hardly believe the various weights you have listed beside the photos. Congratulations on your progress!
