Sorry if it is in poor taste to post "Before" and "In Progress" photos of my backside. The photo on the left was randomly taken of me at a work event back in August. The photo on the right was obviously from recently when I was being a dork and having my boyfriend take photos of me in the new Jillian Michaels KSWISS clothing line. I remember first seeing the photo on the left and thinking, "Wow! I'm so small. I actually HAVE lost weight." That was about 13 pounds ago, which doesn't SOUND like much. However, I'm wearing Old Navy Size 8 Sweetheart Jeans on the left and Old Navy Size 4 Sweetheart Jeans on the right. Crazy what a difference a few pounds can make as you get closer to your goal weight. Sometimes I have to force myself to look at current photos of myself. I still tend to feel like I'm bigger and it takes seeing myself in a photo to realize that I'm not. Hopefully as time goes on I will have fewer of those days when I feel "big" and more days when I feel AWESOME. ;0)

Nice A$$! Pictures say what a scale or a tape measure can only hint at! You look fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Crazy, isn't it? It is hard though, because I know my numbers. A co-worker said something along the lines of what you just did. She told me I look great and it doesn't matter what the number is. It's SO hard though. I want to be in the 120s so badly. I'll get there!
ReplyDeleteYou will get to the 120s, but you shouldn't need a certain number on the scale to be happy! How about looking fabulous and in SIZE 4 jeans?!? How about being able to hold your own in a certain yoga class? Savor the successes that everyone else can see!
ReplyDeleteyou made this post because I said your butt looks good on Facebook last week, didn't you? :p
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd give to be a size 4. What I'd give to have your frame and your body. I know that sounds pathetic. But I feel it's a dream I'll never ever achieve.
ReplyDeleteLindsey: If you keep up what you are doing, you will get there! It might have taken me 15 months to get where I am, and I have some more to go, but it is a great feeling and I couldn't be more glad that I stuck with it and have eliminated my unhealthy habits! :0)
ReplyDeleteJoslyn: I wish I had taken actual "Before" pictures when I first started losing weight, but this one will do. :P
Kelly: I don't believe you. I shouldn't have "Plateaued" at 6 weeks. I'm pathetic. My hard work ISN'T working for me. But I am sincere when I say I am so glad it worked for you. I'm sure it's fantastic to look at yourself and see that amazing body.
