I started seriously trying to lose weight on November 24, 2009, the day I had my second daughter. Before I got pregnant with her I was at an all time high of 270lbs. By the time I had her I was down to 250lbs (through staying active and not pigging out every time a craving hit). Since then I've lost about 33lbs, am down to 217, the lightest I've been in like, 6+ years. I didn't take pics back in November, but I did take them at the beginning of January when I was 234lbs. I took some tonight to see what -17lbs looks like, and even tho the change is subtle, I like it! So here are my pics, the pants are a size 20 (OMG! Yay!) and the shirts are both XL (I think misses size tho). They are my goal shirts, I want them to fit, or even be loose. One is my Cullen shirt (yes, I'm a total fan girl) and the other is the shirt my hubby bought me when we went to see "Wicked" 2.5 years ago. I also like the message on the Wicked shirt (Defy Gravity), it motivates me every time I put it on to accomplish the impossible.
