  • Hmm...Guess I'll be brave. (before and durings)

    ...And post my before and during photos.

    Here's me back in December when I started...300 - 311-ish? (ignore my ick looking face, I was not happy about seeing pics of myself!)






    Here's today...275. (I don't know...maybe me standing different made it look like I'd lost? I don't know...I HATE that double chin on me..blech)







    The only real difference I can tell myself, is that those are the same pants...and in the first side shot, they were TIGHT. I mean, I barely could button them...and now they're looser. *sigh*

      You've done a great job! There is a big difference! It's always hard to see the change in yourself, but there is definitely a difference! Keep up the good work!

        Youre looking great!! I too hate seeing pics of myself. When I was 227 ( ?? I think...maybe more?? ) I did a bathing suit shot and man o man that I HATE that pic. Just think someday you'll look back on these and think thank goodness I made that sacrifice!! Way to go girl!! And I love your success siggy....reminds me of the journey with Atkins.

                      Jen!! I think that you are VERY **BEAUTIFUL** both inside and out and your progress this far is amazing. Just keep believing not only that you can do this, but also in yourself, and remember that slow and steady ALWAYS wins the race - even if slow sometimes slips off track with one or two chocolates, and jumps back in.

                      I'm sorry that I've been such a Debbie Downer lately - I'm just going through an extremely blue time, and am trying to balance things out in my life. I hope to talk again soon - until then ((((hugs)))) BIG((((HUGS))))
