Well, here I am 57.5 lbs lighter than than my heviest weight and I have the pictures to prove it! When I started out on my weightloss journey my goal was 125 lbs, well I met my goal and have decided I still have some more work to do, but I thought I'd post my "so far" pictures here. Here they are!

Me at my highest weight (and not even pregnant!)182.5 lbs

Here I am in a swimsuit, forgive the mushy tummy and stretchmarks, I had my baby 8 months ago!


Here I am in my size 15 jeans which fall off of me if I'm not holding them up. They used to be tight on me, now I'm a size 3/4!
 
Double Wow!

If you hadn't mentioned it I would have never even suspected you had had a child!

Incredible work! You are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

sirant
 
Howdy Newmommy,
I remeber you from before you look amazing!
Awesome work and you give us mommies high hopes, Tammy
 
You look fantastic way to go!!!

So, was the 182.5 before or after your pregnancy? If after, were you smaller before your baby?

I know you must feel amazing, because you definitely look it!!!
 
Thanks everyone!! I feel so alive now! I haven't been 125 since 7th grade and then I was shorter then so I was still chubby! lol. Just the little things make me so happy, like last night I was really tired so my husband carried me upstairs to bed, when I was at 182 he would have never been able to do that! And it feel so great to have the people on here cheering me on.

Photocrazed- I was 182.5 before my pregnancy. During my pregnancy I was put on a low fat diet for gallstones and I lost weight doing that. I was the same weight the day before I delivered my baby than I was the day before I got pregnant with her. 2 weeks after I had her I was down to 148 lbs. I was so happy! But I started eating out of boredom and just eating a lot and gained my way back up to 152, 3 months after I had my baby. At that point I decided that I could either go up or I could go down and I didn't want to go back up. So I made a contract with myself and found this forum and now almost 5 months later I am at my original goal!

Did the weight loss help the gallstones, or did you have to have a surgery? My mom has those and has what she calls gallbladder attacks after eating any fatty foods or greas and can't do anything if one hits her.

You look fantastic!!!! MUCHO KUDOS!!
 
Amazing is the word...you look so beautiful; it is hard work but once there it is so rewarding; the results speak for the hardwork that you have put in...you really look wonderful...keep up the good work........
 
OMGOSH! You Look AMAZING! I have a friend that is very bummed about her belly after having her first child. Just today she was so fed up with everything that she wanted to just eat salads. Not the way to go, but I have to tell her about your journey! Great job and I'm sure you will get to your next goal just as easily!
 
Thank you so much everybody :eek: You're making me blush :p

Photocrazed Yes, I eventually had to have my gallbladder out. The low fat diet was only to prevent as many gallbladder attacks as I could throughout my pregnancy. I started having attacks at 10 weeks into the pregnancy and they weren't diagnosed until about 22 weeks. that's when I went on the lowfat diet. It helped for the most part, only a couple of attacks between 22 weeks and 34 weeks, but at 34 weeks my baby was pushing on my gallbladder and causing me to have daily attacks which put me into labor, Every time I had one I had to go to the hospital and get meds to stop the attacks, which would stop the labor. Finally, the day before I turned 37 weeks the doctor decided to induce me. I had my baby and two days later I had my gallbladder out. Unfortunately I had several complications after the surgery which resulted in a 3 week hospital stay another surgery and 3 more procedures. My last procedure was a month ago and I'm hoping that's the last of it!

DariQueen I'm 5 ft. 3.5 in. I used to think I was 5ft. 4in. but they measured me at the doctor's office without my shoes on the other day and I Was 5'3.5" :( It made me sad but I got over it... eventually, lol.
