do you want to see my body..
hahah
I've been feeling super down on myself lately- weight wise/fitness wise/etc .. I've been lazy and not really putting any effort in since I seemed to stall out at this level. This morning I decided enough is enough and I'm going to get back into it.. I also took new body shots- and holy cow..... what a difference from a year ago! Now.. I know I've told you all a million times.. I started this weight loss journey in April 08 - about a month after my exdh left. I'm a stress weight gainer.. and well, my life was shitfastic for a long time. Anyway.. I had gotten up to 204 lbs (ack.. why am I posting this). Thankfully, for my sanity, I do not have any piccies of me @ that weight. I'm pretty sure I'd never leave the house again if I did haha. I do however, have piccies from August 08- I'm not sure how much I'd lost by this point.. but I was still fat  that's all that matters. Anyway.. I'm down 52lbs (though my scale tried to lie to me this morning and tell me I was down 59lbs.. lol that would have been nice). I'm a tall chickie, so I'm in my healthy zone already- but, it just doesn't FEEL healthy yet. I still have a pudgey belly.. and have a lot of work to do. I'd love to be 10-20lbs lighter than I am now still. I just know I need to work really hard to get through that last hump, cause it's not going to go anywhere on it's own..annnnnnnnnnnyway..... So you want to see the difference a year makes???? Here's a side profile Aug 08/Aug 09 (ignore the apparent hump back in my current photos LOL my shirt was too big and I was bunching it back there ^_^ it looks funny)   and.. where I think it really really shows, my upper body/face/front shot again aug 08/aug 09 (sorry it's blurry.. my batteries were dying). Even my NECK is smaller hahaha.. that's just creepy dude!   I'm newly inspired after seeing what a difference there is, and how far I've come.. I can't give up now!!!

I was at one time at 200 pounds too. After having my daughter and son. I have very few pictures of that time. I am only 5 ft 5 though
 Not a good feeling.Quote:

Ugh I know all about the weight issues I have been fighting mine on and off too but never sticking with it for long. I was down to a happy weight last year (I am tall too at 5 foot 9) and got down to 156 last year til Thanksgiving and all the holidays hit. Now I am all the way back up to my pre-diet weight again. I stress eat too! It's terrible. I think you have done an increidlbe job! You look awesome even in your blurry pic
 hehehe Keep up the good work it's very inspiring and I can't wait to get myself back in gear too (I am thinking once my kiddies all hit school again)

Congratulations on a job well done!
You've inspired me to get going on my walking again...I've been waiting to find out if I'm going to be bumped out of my job to another job and stress eating for two weeks...so it's a wonderfully brave thing you did posting your story.

hey my kid is almost 6.. lol... it took me a while ^_^ you can do it! This was more......... dedicated to being awesome, than dedicated to losing baby fat. I think that may be the trick.. I mean I had started and stopped a zillion times and just kept gaining more weight. I wasn't doing it for the right reasons.
and I haven't been consistently dedicated LOL.. I lose steam a lot and feel like poo. The one thing that's been good this round, is I didn't re-gain weight when I stopped caring. I'd just stall out at a weight for a while.. and start up again. I don't know what I did differently.. other than the mind frame that is. lol

That's great, La! I so need to get back into mine, too. Gonna start as soon as I am done working 12 hour shifts next week. Its hard to start a diet when you are working 12s. I am 5'9" and I know my ideal weight is 150.
