Beaching It - Progress Photos

[Beaching It]

So I started my SB journey on August 10th after I saw the first photo below (and others like it) and realized that I had gained at least 15 1bs over the past year!! I had my gallbladder out last September and lost quite a bit of weight, just because I was sooooo scared to eat after my gallbladder attack and during the 5 week wait for surgery. But then it crept back on and more!! I knew it was time... plus I'm turning 40 next year and my new mantra is "I'm going to be fabulous at 40". I now weigh less than I did when I got pregnant with my first child 8 years ago now... so this is really awesome! Hopefully these pics post well...

Here's me at the beginning of October at about 9-10 1bs lighter after almost 2 months on SB:

Here's me yesterday at 13 1bs gone, 3 months in to SB... 12 1bs or so left to go.... slow but steady steps towards my goal.

You look GREAT! An inspiration for me, being that I am now about where you were when you started. I see that it can be done!

Yes it can totally be done! One day at a time, 1 1b at a time. I've really noticed a difference with this latest 2 1b loss. Weird how that 2 1bs can feel like so much! I'll post a new photo a few more pounds away from now.

Hey Beaching It,
Wow, do you look great!! And probably feel it too in those size 8 jeans!! Good for you!
I am in a similar boat to you. I started with a bit more weight but our current weights are close and I will be turning 40 in 2 years. I wanted to beach it to enjoy the time when my kids are small and be proud of who I am on the inside and out And I am currently in the process of doing that.
Keep up the awesome work!!
