Progress Photos! Thorough!

Here is a set of progress photos with a couple of pictures dating 2005 or earlier.

:)







First we have my high school graduation in 2003. Not a clue what I weighed.

Next we have June 2005 when DH and I were dating, still no idea but those jeans are a size 18

Next, DH and I had just gotten engaged. July 2005

April 2006, DH and I were already married. This dress was a 16 and I remember being so excited about it. Probably weighing around 230 at this point.

May 24th, 2006. my 21st birthday. I look so wide.

August 2006. We had just bought a house and I was weighing in at 215. I remember liking this photo SO MUCH because you could see the beginnings of a waistline.

Next, a picture of me at 39 weeks pregnant, weighing 230 lbs. I promise you I weighed more than that when I got pregnant in the first place. Coming home from the hospital, I weighed 213 which was a low weight for me. I can’t believe I squandered that over my maternity leave. James was born January 23 of this year.

A few weeks after James was born, I’d started to put on a little bit of weight but I ignored it.

James’ Baptism, april 6th 2008. This set of photos made me realize i might have a problem. I would put on another 12 lbs before I did anything about it.

June 2008. My mom sent this photo to me not too long ago. I’d never seen this photo until I already lost 40 + lbs. It now resides on my fridge to serve as a reminder.

July 2008. I had lost about 10 lbs at this point. It came off pretty quickly in the beginning. A testament to how poorly I was treating my body before hand.

August 6th, 2008. I had lost 22 lbs and was feeling much better about myself. 223 lbs in this photo.

This is a side by side of one of my wedding photos (nov 2005) and a photo taken in september 08 at 212lbs. NO IDEA what I weighed when we got married. I’m starting to think 245 wasn’t my all time high after all.

October 6th 2008, 38 lbs lost. 207lbs

November 8th, 2008. 48lbs lost. 197 lbs.

November 28th 2008. 54 lbs lost. 191 lbs.

December 5th, 2008 57 lbs lost. 188 lbs.

February 5th 2009 70 lbs lost 175 lbs

    Wow! Thank you for doing all this! I don’t even have any pics of me in my top 50 pounds - totally too camera shy, but I wish now that I did have. You look GREAT and think how much better you feel (emotionally and physically) and how much better you can do your life not lugging a 57 pound backpack with you every step, every chore. Hey, this is GREAT! Thanks so much, again, for taking the time to do this. Very kind of you! Inspires me! lol Delita
