Page 2 contains photos from February to current time.
This picture was taken at my 20th birthday luncheon. Not much in my weight had changed since late December before I decided in late July to try again. I find it hard to believe, but I know from record keeping that I nearly tipped the scale @ 280! Just because I was surrounded by people who like me for me, that doesn't help me feel any less that I looked like Chris Farley in a wig.
When I first looked at this picture, I felt bummed because I do not see much of a difference. I spend more time on my hair & learned the wonders of Clinique. The best physical thing about this pic is that my boobs actually are looking like boobs! This shirt is a Misses XL as opposed to the blue, which was a 2x plus. Major difference! Weight range: 245-250.
Wow, I look so sexy when I have a cold! I cut back on my gym workouts the past couple of days since breathing hasn't been the easiest thing thanks to the cold. :( Those pants are smaller than the black pants I wore in the previous pics, this is a Misses XL, as opposed to a size 20W(w/ elastic waist). My arms need work. My child Charlotte insisted on being in the pic. Weight Range: 242-244. By the way, if you're wondering why I look so unhappy in the last two pictures, I had my frustrating mom take them. Big mistake, but who else is around? Charlotte? The day she does something useful will be the same day I win the $100,000,000 jackpot.
The cold has finally gone away! This is my absolute favorite outfit! I bought that pink jacket in the Misses department last year w/ no intention of ever zipping it, and now I can! It looks good fully zipped, but the way I have it in the pic says "Look at my boobs!" The pants are size 18 from Old Navy. Maybe I'm a poser for dropping names of clothing stores, but I am so excited that I can shop in stores I never dreamed of. I don't take this for granted. I think you can tell that the weight training I just began is doing something to me. I got a haircut today but I didn't do much to it since I decided to grow it out and get a perm of VERY loose curls. Good or bad idea?
11 weeks into my new physically fit lifestyle. Today I started weight training, so let's see if my upper body will become more proportionate to my lower. Aren't we just a couple of sexy bitches?
Me and Melissa at the pier. With a face like that, can you believe I've seriously never smoked pot? I finally broke the plateu I hit about four weeks ago. I remember when I could not even begin to put these jeans on, and now see how baggy they look! The shirt is a plus 1x because I finally decided it still is better to wear something baggy than to wear something showing off the flubber gut. Dude, I found out today that I can wear my Eeyore pajama shorts through only one leg and it is like a a perfect fitting skirt. Crazy.
I've been yo-yo dieting the last few weeks so no significant loss or gain either way. To my high school peeps, remember this crazy lady? I never thought I'd see the day that I could ever remotely hold a candlestick to her on the hotness scale!
