Before and after pics-- Original pics taken 3.22.09 and after pics taken 3.25.10.
Wow... I have to say I havent really looked in the mirror and seen big changes myself- But looking at these pictures are amazing to me.
This person a year ago looks so uncomfortable- I do not ever want to go back.
I hope that in another year I can post pictures again, showing another 40 lbs dropped. How amazing!!!
These pictures have definetly encouraged me to keep going!!! Changes are happening!!!!!!
I will have to have the hubby help me with measurements tonight and compare them to my starting measurements. I am so glad I finally got around to getting these pictures done!! I have had an awful week- After hitting a major goal this last weigh in, and coming out of the 200's- I have completely sabotaged myself by eating out wherever I have wanted this week, and eating WHATEVER I wanted.
I am really feeling gross about it too. I feel sick, tired, and depressed. Which ulitmately is why I told myself I deserved to eat all that food this week. Hmmm- guess I haven't figured out that part of this whole deal just yet. Stress and mood swings are something I really need to learn to cope with.
Well after a year I went from 238.2 to 198.6 - lost 39.4 lbs--- and I am loving it!!!! I really have been inspried this year to go after some other goals- and maybe make some life changing decisions. Time will tell!!!!!
Stay Strong!!!
Jeannie! You look PHENOMENAL! What's more important than the weight loss is your commitment to a healthier lifestyle! GO YOU! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Raquel!! I am not even close to getting it yet- but there have been many changes in my habits over the last year, that I think will stay with me forever. I have lost up to 50 lbs in the past, and swore it would never come back- but it did and then some. This time I feel its different, because I am not looking at just an end result of losing weight. I want to REALLY LLIVE now- and I want my kids to see it, and impact them in a healthy way- because up to now, I obviously have not done that well. But moving on! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so very proud of you Jeannie! You look wonderful! I know you will keep losing. You have created a better lifestyle and that will stay with you! Don't beat yourself up too much for taking a week to eat bad stuff. Just look at tit and remind yourself of how you felt and you will get past it and on being a great "loser"!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah!! I couldnt have done this journey without your support!!
ReplyDeleteJeannie: You are looking great...I thought there was something different about you at Teri's party last week...I should have known it was your weight loss, but you were sitting on the couch & did you have a light jacket on? Anyway, I didn't really SEE you...but these photos don't lie and you look so good...sometimes eating & feeling bad later can be good, because it reminds you that you can look & feel better. So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Aunt Kitty! Love you!
