Mini-goal photos.
 

Well, even though it's painful to see, i've decided to post a few pics to show where I came from, and where I'm at currently. The first three are from 2006-through November 2007. Weight at least 230 lbs. probably more (didn't weigh myself much).

Last two at current weight, about 195 lbs. Still a long way to go, but noticeably better.

YOu look amazing!!!!! So fit!! Keep up the excellent work!

Definitely a big difference!! You look taller than 5'7".

Thanks walking2lose--I feel so much fitter and stronger, and I have been working out a LOT this summer, just starting to get a ton easier for me. I am trying the C25K now, and the Labor Day 5k and will keep on improving my swimming that I started also.

Julie--Thank you! No I am not over 5'7", but I have what I guess is a long "trunk". I've always wanted to be long-legged, but my legs look kinda short in comparison. Worse when they are fat, hehe! Definitely no dancer's or runner's legs!

You look absolutely amazing!!!

You look beautiful! Look at you with a flower behind your ear, hot mama! I hope you were somewhere tropical with one cabana boy fanning you with a big leaf and another feeding you grapes one by one.

Julie99--Thank you!!

mamaspank: Well, I was someplace tropical--on Kauai, but no hot cabana boy, just my DH who actually is pretty hot still even at 45. His idea to put a flower in my hair for those pics. Thanks for the compliments!

You look beautiful, you are glowing!!!!

Thank You, Lexi! I think that probably is the tan I was accumulating, but I like to think I look a lot happier as well!!

Looking good! :)

Nice changes! You look wonderful in your cute outfit!

You should feel very proud. :) You look amazing! Congrats and no turning back. :)

Thanks, Xeno!

Sunshower: I love your mantra, or motivational quote, or what ever it is. Did you make that up? It's great! I'm putting it on my sticky of inspiration I keep open on my computer under all the windows, so I can easily look at it when I need a push.

Banana: I like yours also--I have already posted that one on my sticky as well--it's so true!!

You look WONDERFUL!

Congratulations!

Lovely.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing here!

Thanks Jo and Beth! Jo, you were almost my weight when I started here at 3FC, and your progress is an inspiration to me. Your goal is less than mine and you are a lot taller. I think I will have to revise my goal when I get to 150--i bet that isn't where I should be. I'll just be so happy to be back down in that vicinity that I haven't seen in at least ten years. You look great!!!

Beth, hang in there, you'll get there...

You look wonderful!! That white tank/halter(?) is uber cute!!!!

You look great!! I'd never guess 195 in the last pictures. Awesome job!

You look awesome!! Keep up the good work! :carrot:

You look awesome! :)

how did I NOT see this post until now?
You look AMAZING, Mod! Grogeous!!!!
Total package! hehe inside and out!
Im so glad i've met you on here... you are a sweet person with so much heart. Keep up the awesome work and see you at goal!hehe

Way to go! You look beautiful!

You are TOTALLY rawking that outfit.

:bravo:

You look great! I just started my plan and your pictures are very encouraging! Keep up the good work!

You definitely don't look 195 lb in those last two. Wow, you look amazing! It's such an inspiration to see these pictures and see that hard work really does pay off :-)

~CGH~

You'd been beautiful but you look much more now..fitness brings more youthfulness and happiness and you exhibit a tons of both.

All the best and may you never see any plateau till you reach your goals :)

You look fantastic I like your top its cute!

Your pictures are inspiring! You look just awesome and so happy. You must be very proud of yourself and all your hard work. Way to go girl!! (I too have the long torso and shorter legs - these days I compare them to sausage links. Hopefully in the not too distant future they can just be short legs)

WOW! After languishing in the archives for awhile, suddenly a lot of posts and support!! :thanks: everyone!! :love:

And yes, rinku, there have been a few, thankfully brief, periods of plateaus, but still on the downward trend, thank god! Today the :goodscale read 182, and I have resolved to update/add more photos at 175, to see if there is a visible difference from 195.

I will be brave (gulp!) and post in a bikini so I can see the true state of the cellulite thighs :yikes: (SisuINWI, I feel your pain!!) But, I am running a bit, trying to run a 5K once a week at least on the tm, and still doing weights and swimming, so by spring, hopefully, NOT so much!!!

Faux!! What a sweet new pic you have now! Talk about inspirational! And I luv your new slogan "eating to live!" An awesome sentiment to remember!

purpleorc--you have an amazing inspirational tale of your journey as well! WTG! and thanks for posting it!

Everybody--hang in there, the holidays are almost over and we here are already way ahead of the curve!! :goodvibes

You look great!!

WOW! So amazing! Way to go!

you look so terrific!! Congrats on the wonderful changes you have made!!!

You look amazing!!!

You look great!
