Here is my first before and after photo. I'm not far from goal and this is the first photo I've had taken since the before. I don't think this is the most flattering shirt I could have worn, but I'm definitely happy with the improvement. The before pic was taken in May 2006. I started the SBD that following July. I was about 190 lbs in the before picture, 146 in the after... taken today. The code the image site gave me that embedded the image in the post made the image much too small, so I think this way is better.

Thank you all so much!! I couldn't have done it without this forum and all the wonderful support from so many wonderful people. Of course we all know, this WOE is always a work-in-progress.
Krissmiss: You're right about stance. I've commented to friends that I've noticed there's a difference in the way I carry myself. I can't explain it, but I can feel it.
Jadefox: Thank you! I FEEL like a different person.
Nessa: I see there's a new chick in town... love it! And thanks.
Staci: I've been inspired too... from sooo many people on here.
Rommel & ThinkTink & Nadia: Thank you... yes, I am proud of me. Changing our WOE for life is hard work, and when we succeed, it's a huge accomplishment... no matter how much we lose.
Mary!: You must've snuck in there while I was typing this. Thank you!
I'm taking these last few pounds very slow, but sure. The summer is tough, but I'm not worried. I know I know what to do if I slip. I'm happy with the way I look and feel now, so reaching that goal weight doesn't seem so important now. What's important is that I feel good about myself, and that I'm eating healthy for life!
My son is out in California and I haven't seen him since his wedding last November. I had lost 20 pounds by then and was feeling pretty good about myself. I can't wait to take more pictures and send them to him. He has no clue how slim his mom has gotten. And my daughter? She lost a few pounds on SBD too, but didn't need to lose much. But she's a little worried Mom might get thinner than her... she's a size 6. She has her mom's body type, and she knows how easy it is to put on a few pounds. Imagine that... daughter a little jealous of Mom. I love it! She's very proud of me too.
Thanks again all of you!! |
