S/C/G: 261/see ticker/175

Height: 5'9
Default Goal!! 86lbs lost! (now 100lbs lost!!)
(another edit and I had to post it to the top, because I felt the need to yell it from the rooftops: 100lbs LOST!!!!!!)

I finally reached my goal!! 10 months ago, I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I am now at my pre-firstborn pregnancy weight (coincidentally, her 9th birthday was yesterday). I have four children (and have had five pregnancies) and the weight just packed on. So, I haven't been at this weight in 10 (very) long years. I went from a size 2XL shirt, 22/24 pants to a medium shirt, 10/12 pants.

Here are some before and after pictures...

Before:













After:











I couldn't have done this without God, my husband, Leslie Sansone and my wonderful friends here at 3FC and especially the Daily Accountability Group.

I'm thrilled beyond belief to be here!! I may see if I can drop a bit more, but my doctor recommended this goal weight for me. He said with my height and build, he didn't think anything less would be healthy. I still have a bit of a tummy and my legs are a bit jiggly, so I think I'll turn to firming up, building endurance and just enjoying life!

Edited to add: Here is a more recent picture at 93lbs lost! I don't see much of a difference myself, but the pants are a size 8 (different than the earlier ones) and the shirt is still the same as before (though a tad looser). Please, excuse the clothing mess, we're fall cleaning!

WOWWWWWWW!!!! If I had only one word to choose, it would be....
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!

I have to admit, when I first scrolled down looking at the "before" pics, all I could think was...WoW..she looks good for 261lbs, but then as I kept going to the "after" pics, I was literally BLOWN AWAY!!! Your gorgeous with an AMAZING figure! 175 lbs I would have never guessed.

BTW, it took me about the same amount of time to lose my weight as well...so I totally share your sentiments of "if I only knew that in 10 months all this could have been..." It's amazing...our bodies...isn't it?

on making your goal...YOU GO GURL!

Wow, I really needed to see this today. We are the same height and I'm starting to reconsider 165, and thinking about stopping at 175, which would be another 13lbs from now.

I think you look great, and I am now really re-thinking whether BMI applies to me or not. The me in the mirror is still obese at times, seeing someone else on the screen is kind of a reality check.

Congrats on all your hard work and success. The fact you've been pregnant 5 times astounds me. Wow.a
