I am so hoping to be posting a new pic tomorrow Hope to be down another pound. My bf seems to be my lucky charm at losing

Oh, you are too kind!! Hoping to get back to that soon!!! I go away for work and this is what I come back to. Y'all are sweet!! Have you seen my beach pics?? They were just a week or so ago. I think my family thinks I have gone crazy!! They don't think I need to be on hcg again. Actually my DH thinks I look better with a bit of meat on me--ie my boobs have grown too!!! I guess it doesn't show, but my uniform pants for Starbucks are uncomfortably tight. I keep tugging on them because they don't fit right across the hip/tummy area. My feet/toes feel uncomfortably puffy too. As long as I feel uncomfortable I will try to stay at a lower weight. Again you have to look at the whole "can I comfortably maintain this weight or not". That is what matters. So here I go again!! I am looking to get at least 10 if not 15 pounds down.

Cannot wait to see them!! My problem on the hhcg is that by 10PM my eyes start to close. I just cannot stay up late enough to lose that way My DS stays up til 11PM these days, even though we try to get him to sleep earlier. He has senses like a cat so DH is scared to do anything while he is awake!!! Maybe I can try taking a nap today!!! No work so I will have the time and opportunity.

OMG Dawn you are so TINY! You look fabulous! You are my hereo! 4 kids (c-sections to boot!) and you can wear a bikini and look great in it!

I think I'll need a tummy tuck to repair my skin from my 10 pounder boys before I can wear a bikini. You rock!

[dawnyama]

OK, you girls have convinced me---that is going to be my new avatar pic. I have to get it switched. I just have to wait until my DS gets home, or the hubby. I still cannot figure out how to get it from one place on the computer to another! But that is me with the little brain--too tough for me to figure out.

Holy Hot Tamale Dawn! You look HAWT!!!

[walkingwoman]

Ok, let's see if there's any difference now. I released 2 pounds overnight I'm thinking I'll keep the bf around

First pic is 25, second 26, third 28 released I think I can post all three. let me see.

[catzrule]

I still can't believe those abs!

[walkingwoman]

Trust me, they are still flabby to me and I have fat on my waistline too but I am getting more accepting of it and somewhat like having a little bit of meat on me.

[12yrslater]

WW you look AMAZING!!

[dawnyama]

WW--Love those pics!!! Are you noticing any size difference now???? I mean are you going down in inches or are your jeans looser with those 2 lbs lost since yesterday???

You would be surprised!! At 113 I still had flab around the middle. It was smaller, but I still had some. You would have seen it on me if it not had been hidden by my clothes--even the bikini. I get where she is coming from. Totally!!!

I get that...hidden by clothes, but there are no clothes hiding any flab there...

This is a compliment to WW...

Definitely. I have on jeans I wore earlier in the week and today they are loose. I need to re-shop my small clothes closet and get my dd to work on my wardrobe Also, the one pair of pants that I NEVER thought I would be able to wear again? the One day wonder pants? FIT. Not pretty with the muffintop but with a poofy blouse, I could pull them off easily It's crazy.

I don't mean it in a negative way. Just saying that I definitely still have plenty to hold on to

Yep. Clothes are quite magical. That's why I wanted to do the bikini pics. To be completely brutal and honest with myself. I've never posted pics online in a bathing suit but wanted to this time because they are really helping me.

You look GREAT!!!!

I'm with you guys on the bikini pics. I took my 22 day pics and while it is quite amazing how far I've come in 3 wks. I realized how much further I have to go. It looks more like 12-15 lbs instead of 7. Bikini pics don't lie.
Dawn & WW - you both look great!

BUT I feel fantastic in my clothes and my confidence has improved dramatically, even DH noticed. So I'm focusing on that!

That is great!!! When I lost some of the weight I was able to go out and get a job. My job as a Starbucks barista has me "out there" and interacting with all our customers. Not something in my comfort zone for sure. But being smaller has definitely boosted my confidence 10 fold!! Confidence is what it is all about, in the end. I had to have nerves of steel to walk in that bikini not covered up I have NEVER in my life ever done anything like that!!! I felt like I should not be there and wearing what I was wearing. Nerve racking for sure!! And to be "out there" at the pool with strangers looking at me???!!! Oy vay is all I can say!! You will get there--you will!! It took me forever, but I did it!! You will too!!

You look fantastic, nice job!

[Mindfulness]

I see a LOT of difference. You look great. Your hips and curves look so much smoother. You thighs also look a lot smaller. You "during pic" is my goal **I think**. I am 5'4" though.

I didn't even know this thread existed. Guess I need to move my pics in here.

[ColleenMA66]

Cheryl....wow!!! You look awesome! I see a big difference.

[catzrule]

Thanks girls. I still see it as 'I've gotten back to where I was two years ago before my dad got sick.' I wanna look like WW!

[sassy_red]

I see a definite difference too!! Your thighs have definitely shrunk and seem much sleeker. Great job so far, hope this next round brings more awesomeness!

[dawnyama]

You have done so well Cheryl!! WTG!!!! I think you look fab!!

[12yrslater]

You look great Cheryl!

[MtherGoos]

You do look great!!! I will be happy to look like your before picture!
