My story is already in the goal thread, but I thought I'd post the pictures in the photo album!
Before (188 lb, 39.6% body fat)
I haven't looked at these pictures in a long time, and WOW. That was some pretty strong denial going on.
After (148 lb, ~24% body fat)
Still have some curves, which is fine by me! October 2007.
Me being a dork for the camera. This one was at 151 lb and 26% bodyfat; I've lost since then so this isn't a final photo, but this picture was a huge ego-boost for me because I could actually see a bit of muscle definition coming in! August 2007.
It's nice to look at a picture and feel like I would blend into a crowd, size-wise. September 2007.
Happy because I have a chin again! Hallowe'en 2007... And oh, wow! I didn't feel the need to crop the picture halfway through my arm like I used to always do to make me look skinnier!
...and again, Hallowe'en. I think this is my favourite picture of myself of all time. Never thought I'd be saying that about a new picture!
Now, on to maintaining & continued toning, woo... 3FC, it all happened because of you!
EDIT: It's been awhile since I updated, and I'm 6 lb lower (and 4 years older!) than I was in the last photos, so I figured I'd drop in and give an update. I'm working my way toward a lower goal this time, 135 lb instead of 148 lb, where I maintained for a few years.
My husband and I celebrate our first anniversary. Isn't he handsome?
I was ~144 lb here.
And, this one is from the other day, at 142 lb, 22% body fat, flexin' my abs in an oh-so-natural way :P
Can't wait to post an update once I reach my new goal!
Thanks so much for the continuing inspiration, 3FC!! You all rock!
