Pictures of my 40 pounds

homestretch · 08-08-2007, 07:23 AM

Well here it goes. I am really ashamed of my before pictures but I am going to share anyway. Today I reached the 40+ pound loss mark. I still want to lose 10-15 pounds but here is my progress to date.

Your stomach is getting so flat, and your arms are getting tinier!! Very appropriate username you have there.

Good job!!

wifezilla · 08-08-2007, 07:26 AM

Wow! Awesome job

I have been going through photos too. When I hit halfway I am going to post before and afters. I keep looking at those earlier photos and going "EEWWWWW". But they are a good reminder of a bad lifestyle left behind.

I know they did come out small! I think the boob thing has to do with the fact that my stomach is no longer bigger than my boobs!

Oh I wish that happened in three months! I started in May of 2006 on the South Beach Diet and then switched to Atkins about a month ago. It has taken a lot of hard work and dedication but it has all been worth it. I used to run about 3 miles a day but now I do a combo of running, walking, tae bo or weights 5 times a week. Thanks for the kind words!
