A little Then and Now

I haven't posted pictures in a long time because I haven't lost any weight since September, but I thought I'd post a couple now. It's kinda fun to see the difference between now and last year.


It's my husband and I last summer, and then one of me this past weekend. I wasn't quite at my highest weight during the summer of 2006. I packed on a few more during the fall and winter. A picture from last Christmas would be interesting, but I don't have one.

Here's one from January with another recent one:

The Oregon Coast is Fattening!

We're back from our trip to the Oregon Coast where we celebrated our 20th anniversary. We had a wonderful time with lots of rich food and tasty local wines. All that showed up on the scale to the tune of six pounds upon returning home! We did A LOT of walking, but not enough to counteract the food and drink I guess. Back to the old routine tomorrow!

Someone Called Me "Slender" Today!

I went to get my haircut and I was talking about my son to the hairdresser, saying he is over 6 feet tall, but only weighs 120 pounds, and she said, "Wow! That is really thin, but then you're slender, so he must get it from you." I laughed and said, "Well, thank you for saying so, but I'm NOT slender, I just carry my weight well." When I told her my goal weight was 160 she couldn't believe I weighed more than that now.

So, I ran home and took pictures of my body to see if I could see myself as slender. Mostly what I saw was that my clothes were hanging on me. Clothes that used to be a bit snug.


So, I ran inside to get some clothes that are a little more form fitting.



And to remind you what I looked like seven months ago:

Another 10 Gone, FINALLY!

Since I'm another 10 pounds down (finally!!!) since the last time I posted before and after pics, it's time to do it again.

234.2 lbs on 3/8 - 204.4 lbs on 8/9

And apparently Ive grown shorter too! I know these are the most unflattering pictures I could take of myself, but I wanted a good way to compare and see the changes in my body. Now if I could just learn to stand in the same place. Ah well.
