Mini-Goal Photo Album - 29lbs Lost

1st pic is from Nov '08 at 247. (oh, I hate that pic)
2nd pic is from this morning at 218.
ETA 3rd pics at my sister's wedding at 247. You can really see how heavy I was in this one. That beautiful tan girl next to me is my sister.

I really started trying to lose weight in June at 240 so I'm always confused about what my starting weight should be. I mean it took 6 months (from Jan-June) to lose 7lbs, but only another 4 (June-Oct) to lose the other 25. :?: Anyway...

I should get a better body shot because I've lost 4 inches on my waist alone!! :carrot:
And I know I've lost in my thighs because my shorts are no longer tight! :carrot:

And I know I've lost in my arms because I have to keep tightening my bodybugg band! :carrot:

I couldn't have done this without all the support here!! :D Thanks guys! :hug: :hug:

You look GREAT. I am the weight right now which your start weight was...I hope I look like you when I loose 29 lbs!!! If you don't mind me asking, what size jeans are you now?? I wonder what size I will prolly be when I loose 29 lbs, thats why I am asking LOL!

You look amazing!!! I also can't wait to get to where you are now. Of course I have a lot more to lose. Keep up the good work.

Thank you guys so much. I literally have tears in my eyes right now. I guess when you see yourself every day, it's hard to see the changes. So thank you all for being my eyes! :hug:

momto3kittiess: At 247 I was stretching out of my 20s. :( But yesterday I just squeezed my butt into my Old Navy no stretch size 16 jeans. Now, there are rolls a plenty hanging all over the place, but they went up past my thighs, over the belly & zipped up no problem. It'll probably be another month+ before I actually feel comfortable wearing them.
