  • From size 22 to 16

    today i posted a picture that my daughter took of me on mothers day in a swimsuit. this isn't easy for me. i'm shy, and somwhat of a hermit.

    now you may not be able to see the difference in my pic, and maybe i'm still pretty chunky to you, but I can see a difference. normal sizes fit! and even though i'm still coping with a big gut, I do see my body having a more curvy outline.

    i am totally embarressed to post this picture but i do wish to make a point. my scale hasn't been moving much lately but I still have gone from a size 22 to a size 16.

    one of the reasons that I emphasize not using the scale is that it is entirely possible to lose sizes and still not see scale movement.

    I know because it happened to me.

    stick to the approved list, drink your water, and stay away
    from the scale and you will find yourself getting fitter and
    smaller and healthier than you have ever been before.

    Never give up! Never surrender!

              Hey "tabekat"]
              Wonderful news! You look fantastic! I know we've had our differences on the scales issue but that aside continue on! You are doing all the right things this food plan requires and it shows! You are an inspiration to us all!
              Thanks for sharing!

              Be well-

                tabekat you look fab in the suit and a beautiful smile to boot. Congrats. I only hope one day I can wear a suit again, I don't hold my breath, but even just getting into my size 16 jeans will make me happy. Long way off.

                I agree on the weighing and you proved that.

                Drink lots of water.

                              YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!

                              You look fantastic! My main goal is to get to a size 14! You are at a 16, wow! If you don't mind me asking, how much do you weigh right now?? From what I've seen around the board--most of the women who are sz 16 are around 200lbs.
