I've gotten progressively worse at picture taking, but....

This is the difference eight months makes. The one on the left is one of the ones when I finally realized how big I'd gotten. The one in the middle is EXACTLY four months in. The one on the right was about 4 hours ago.

Holy crap, that is inspriring! How much weight did you lose the first 4 months? And the second 4 months? If you don't mind me asking, of course! You look fantastic. I can't wait to have my kiddo so I can start exercising and losing weight. :)

Well, in the first picture, I was somewhere between 280 and 290lbs. In the second one, I was right around 230lbs. In the last one, which was yesterday, I was 208lbs. :o) So, believe it or not, a 50-60lb difference between the first two pictures, and only about a 20lbs difference in the second two. Sometimes what's important is WHICH pounds you're on. LOL

Baby fat doesn't count, you. I bet you are a BEAUTIFUL expecting mommy!

I was about 230 pre-pregnancy, and am now sitting around 270. :/ I haven't been gaining much weight recently, which is a good thing (I'm getting enough nutrients and all that). I can't wait to take the babe walking around the parks and stuff so we can both have fresh air. :)

Damn, girl. You look fantastic and I am so proud of you!

:oD Thank you!

Wow... just wow! You look amazing!

How are you doing the eating part? Weight Watchers? Atkins? Calorie counting? I'm curious because I'm about to go back to WW because that's where I had my most success... when I stick with eating healthy and exercising, that is. *sigh*

You're an inspiration!

The first time I had success, a few years back, I did it with Weight Watchers. I do love that program! ;o

[mmmmgreen]

I just read the comments after posting ??? on what you did. What is myself fitness???

[brightspot]

It's a fitness program for XBox - like a personal trainer. It re-evaluates your fitness level every 10 workouts, and the workouts get changed up every day so you never get bored...I really liked it a lot. :o)

[brightspot]

Working on it...slowly but surely. :o)

[working_mom]

You look wonderful.

You should be proud of yourself. I wish I had the willpower. Even with the diabetes risk, I can't seem to stay motivated to eat properly and exercise.
