Default About 45lbs down...
So, I'm not where I want to be yet... But I was looking on myspace and found some pictures of me that my friend put up. UGH. I couldn't believe they were me! They were taken back in November 2007---my birthday infact. I didn't start losing weight until about the beginning of February, so I probably was even a little bigger at my highest.

I thought I'd post these though because I need a little motivation too. Since I had my appendix out in March (at that point I had lost about 30lbs in 8 weeks. Just by watching what I was eating and going to the gym. Nothing ridiculous. The weight just flew off). Since my surgeries and recovery time though I've been having trouble getting back in the swing of things. I also switched to working overnights...so it's been tough. I've probably lost around 15lbs since March... definitely a LOT slower than what I was losing. But I haven't been counting cals or working out as much. So yea... Here's my motivation...


I'm in the purple ---seriously can't believe this is me. Notice in the pic of my friends and me, I'm hiding behind someone...but you can still see my rolls on my side :-( I was like 250 almost...









yuck.

Now, here's pics from right after my surgeries, like a week and a half...I think I was like 220? something like that









And now... at around 200lbs and a size 14. These are from last weekend. No full body ones on my comp here...but I'll have to get some soon.












now if I can just get back on track and tell that guy in the black and white photo with me that I like him.... hahaha

You and that guy would make such a cute couple! I hope you get the guts to tell him! Also, I'd like to add that you really look fantastic! Even though the weight isn't coming off as fast, it's coming off, so congrats to you!!!

Thanks everyone! It sure is nice to hear people say such kind things. Especially when you feel like you're sort of stuck and need some extra motivation. It really helps!!!

Default This is probably the first picture...
This is a picture from last week...probably the first picture I've seen of me from behind. I can definitely tell a difference...and although I'm not where I want to be yet... I don't think I look TOO bad......... except those pesky arms

...I STILL haven't told him I like him...but a lot of that is because of something really really weird. I posted about that in general chatter I think.
