HI,
My name is Amie. I post on another forum but was looking through your photos. I just love looking at the before and afters....Just unbelievable! I wanted to share mine too.
I am 32, married with one 4 year old DD. I have been loosing and living a new life style for 2 years now. Just eating 6 small meals a day and working out 4-5 days a week. I have 23 lbs to go!
Amie -- What a beautiful transformation!! You and I are the same height and weight Not the same age though I'm way older 48 ... You are much more endowed in the chest area though , I am almost flat .... Anyways, I digress, YOU look awesome ....
Thank you Ilene, we are all shaped different and have to work with what God gave us. Just think....I have lost like 10-12 inches up there and am now a DD! The down side is shoulder pain (not as much now) and I can not run..........
Aime, I am so glad that you shared your pictures. I am 5'2" and within 10 pounds of your current weight. I'm still a DD too - which is a pretty big haul for such a short frame. I've lost inches in my bust but haven't even put a dent in my cup size. Anyway, it is always nice to see progress pictures of someone with a similar build because it helps me keep a more objective body image for myself. And it is nice to have an idea of the difference 10 pounds will make too!
Congratualtions on your weight loss. You look absolutely fabulous!
Since I'm new here I figured I'd start by posting some pictures. I've managed to drop around 240 pounds, you can see some of my progress at (no pictures of me at my heaviest):
Thanks for all the encouragement folks. To answer Ilene's question, I started at 02/12/02 at a weight of 457.5 pounds. by 08/29/03 I weighed in at 181.5 pounds, "normal" by BMI standards, but considered gaunt, skinny and unhealthy looking by pretty much everyone around me. So the bulk of my weight was lost pretty quickly -- about a year and a half.
