Progress Photos






I'm kind of sad that my before pics don't really reflect the "before". I had already been dieting for 6 1/2 weeks and lost 16.4 lbs. before these pics were taken. Oh well, since I can't turn back the clock these will have to work! LOL If you look closely you'll notice that I'm wearing the same shirt in both sets of pics. Look at the arm on the side view and you'll see that the shirt is fitting much better.

I'll take pics again in December and hopefully by then I'll learn to post them side-by-side. :-D

    You are right, the arms DO look heaps thinner!
    They aren't the same pants are they?
    The pics have the same impact,it doesn't matter if they are side by side.
    You go girl!!

    Thank you Fatmom, Kim, and Cactusfreek for your words of encouragement! It really means the world to me when I see your comments. :-)

    Cactusfreek - No, not the same pants. Those are a pair of capris that I got on clearance for $1.50 last year that didn't fit when I bought them. I figured it was a good deal and that I'd be able to wear them someday! I don't think they're supposed to be that long. LOL I've gone from a very tight size 26W pants to a loose 24W. I could probably squeeze into a 22W if I really tried.

    Check out the two different range hoods by my head in the pics. We replaced the original 1985 one with a shiny new one a few weeks ago. :-D

    Hooray! What an incredible difference those 40-ish lbs made. I also noticed it made a really big difference in the area under your chin, too. You look great! And not only does the shirt fit better, I think it's too big now. How exciting :D

    I have a hard time with the programming stuff too. My brother does it all for me *blushes*

    Anyhow, great job and keep up the good work. I'm glad you posted these, it really is inspiring.

    Jen ~ You're lookin great!! What an inspiration! I just began my journey a few days ago and it's encouraging for me to find people out there sticking with it and meeting their goals. I have about 80lbs to lose and i'm sure it will be a rough road. Thank you so much for sharing your successes and downfalls. You're a great encouragement. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
