The 'now' picture of me! The "before" picture take about 1 yr. ago
Hi. I have been doing my weight loss journey for about a year now. After the first six months, I had some toxic people in my life and stalled out on losing but thankfully, I maintained what I had lost. I've continued on and decided to start this blog. Why? As a way to help others since I've been talking about losing weight and the ways I've achieved what I've done so far to a lot of people lately. I'd like to help others while but at the same time be held accountable for losing more. I have a goal weight I'd like to reach and if nobody is keeping track besides me... well, I can reach that goal weight in twenty years and I'll be the only person to know. So I'm on the internet!
So how much have I lost already? Well, I claim 40 lbs but I weighed more than I would've ever admited to in the beginning. It's more like 50 or so. I'll share a 'before' and a 'now' picture that my daughter took about 2 weeks ago.
Those jeans in the 'now' picture are some that I bought about 2 years ago and didn't fit into until the day the picture was taken. I had gone through my dresser several times after buying those jeans and each time, I thought about throwing them away. I never could bring myself to actually do it. I decided to try those jeans and wow, what a feeling that was! I had to have new pics taken. So here they are.
Anyway, I'm going to post this and go for a swim. I've already done a cardio workout today along with a standup ab workout but it's hot (almost 90) and I want to swim.
Talk to you soon,
Wendy
Wendy,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you have started this blog. I am sure this is a topic that hits a lot of us at home. My husband and I have just decided to really focus on our weight loss this past week. I think we will take before and after pics to document our trek to the goal weight. You are an inspiration and I am so happy for you. Good Luck with your continued success.

Lol, I just posted a blog on this topic. I packed on the pounds this winter and I'm looking to lose it.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your standing ab routine. And wow, you did that and cardio and now you're going to swim? Ambitious.
Congrats on your weight loss, and good luck on losing more. I look forward to reading more of your blog entries!
Wendy!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight is so hard and important. A few years ago I packed on some pounds after losing close to 50. Now I'm 15 pounds away from my goal! It's such a great feeling. :)
