The first pic is of me @ 353 in November 2005 - after I had decided I needed to really do something about my weight but before I seriously got to it (I was waiting until I finished college in December). The second I took last night after getting home from the gym - @ 267.
It is almost impossible for me to look at that and not cry - both in sadness for what was and in happiness for how far I have come.
Brenda, John and Nancy have inspired me to post my before and afters again.
My before pics are from April 2005 when I'm guessing I weighed 290. I gained more weight after that. Hubby snapped them unbeknownst to me. I really did smile back then! My afters are from the other day, weighing 175. Hopefully you can tell which is which!
alright guys, here are the pics of my wrist tattoo. The blossoms represent rebirth, the word "believe" stands for believe in yourself and believe that you can accomplish anything you wish for, and the butterfly represents the transformation that I am making. Keep in mind that this was the first day and that it isnt healed yet. I absolutely love it
This is a picture of one of my three year old horses. This is Spanky. He went to the trainer this summer so I have only been riding him for a short while.
