OK..

I started at 187 lbs. and I would not allow pics to be taken of me..

{wish I would have now so "I" could see the progress!}

My 2nd chin was very full! I was wearing a size 18 and my tummy was so pookie I looked preggers.. Not even ta mention my ever-widening bootie - chunky legs - etc...

*Please note* I'm very good at hiding my weight! I'm 5'8 with long legs/arms, so that helps a little.. I also pick clothes that help "hide."

The fat/problems are all there trust me!!

Here I am at 180.. 7 lbs. loss - 3 in. off waist - 2 in. off mid-section - 3 1/2 in. off inner thighs - Size 16

This was taken during the summer when I reached 175.0 Size Tight 14

More inches lost..

*{we moved and had money issues so I gained weight again bc of gettin' off track..}
As of today I now weigh 175.8! This is an accurate pic of how I look still..

Size Tight 14 still....

I'm such a ding dong, I forgot to list my goals weight wise.

*snorts* :D

My goal is to be 135-140 which will put me in a size 9/10 where I have been happy/healthy before. I feel really good there and happy..

If that is just not possible bc of my age and stuff {34}, I'll take bein' a size 11/12 at around 145-150 lbs..

Time will tell..

I want to win this battle this time and maintain..:jump:
 
good luck girl your progress is going steady and well!

Keep it up, if you want it badly enough I know you will have the willpower to do anything!

Good job so far!
 
Great job so far!! you look really good, so I can only imagine how great you will be at 150. Keep it up and I'm sure you will be seeing those numbers in no time!! what great color in those pics to by the way, great job!

Thanks so much y'all!

Miss Ladybug:

We love our new dig. camera! What a difference! :D

I just want to take pics of everything! lol
 
Thanks..

I'll get a new pic taken tomorrow and I'll wear something a lil more form fitting so the problem areas will show more..lol

I still have a long way to go!

I'm just very good at hiding it!

Here is a pic son took before I left for the grocery today..
He forgot to press down on red eye/flash button, so it's washed out..

*I decided to suck it up and put on something that fits more snug so you and I can both see I got a way to go before goal! LOL

I wore a pony tail to show how full my face still is as well..

I look like crapola.. :rotflmao:

Can't wait to get these 40 lbs. off!
 
your goals aren't un realistic. Yes age plays a factor but, it just means more work. You can mostly certainly be a size 8 even at your age.

Best of luck congrats on the inches lost as well. That matters more than the lbs lost honestly.
 
Wow you definatley don't look your weight!I think you look good now can't wait to see ya at your goal,GL tammy!
 
Thanks Ironman & Tammy! :hug2:

Trust me - It's a whole new story nakie! The probs/fat are there! lol

My areas:

Mid-section - tummy {very pookie} - bootie - my inner thighs are sooo out of hand! Very chunky and just ick..

I'm surprised I haven't started a fire with them rubbin' together like sticks!

:rotflmao:

My face is still full as well. I need to knock out that 2nd chin!

~All in time~ ;)
 
Tim Gunn and the two people on What not to wear fashion advice.. if you wear clothes that fit you and not those oversized pieces you'd look even smaller.

you do not look close to your weight at all - you're very cute - stop hiding yourself in those baggy clothes...
 
I know...I love those shows! {Thanks for your sweet comments.} :)

See, it's hard for you guys to see my problems bc I'd have ta be nakie!

Bein' tall/long arms & legs help to hide everything. It's there all the same though.

When I wear the proper clothes{non-baggy} I feel like a fat pig.

My tummy pooks out like I'm 4-5 mo. preggers.

When I started wearin' all this baggy stuff was when a lady at Target asked when I was due? :(

I thought I looked really cute that day to. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I was in jeans that fit well and a nice top that stopped right at the hips.

It was a stylish outfit.

I left the store in tears and went and bought all baggy clothes a different day and gave goodwill everything I had that wasn't baggy..

:(
 
it took me years to get it -but baggy clothes - just make a person look bigger - tight clothes do the same thing -

One of the suggestions in a book i'm reading - is to take some clothes pins to your baggy clothes and pin them so they are more fitted -and notice how much slimmer you look when clothes skim the body... (Odd advice coming from the most fashion challenged person on the planet I realize)


Get yourself a treat outfit - that fits you well and makes you feel all sassy good... and make friends with a tailor if need be :)
 
Thanks so much..:hug2:

I know I have things to work on emotionally..

I do need to go pick out an outfit!

After all, I started out in a tight size 18 at 187 lbs.

I'm now a tight 14 at 175.3 lbs.

Thanks for the pep talk!
 
FIVE EIGHT!!

I'm 5'7"--No wonder you look good, you're not very overweight at all! Look, for your age, according to the US Army tables for females, your "ideal weight" is 151 pounds. Mine is 143. Seems reasonable to me. But we still have some to lose! Eh!

But congrats on the weight loss so far, and the Biggest Loser Plan, and for looking so cute! :D
 
:rotflmao:

:hug2: Yer such a doll. Thanks!

Well, I have been at 135-140 before and that puts me in a size 9/10..I'm not too thin - in fact I'm thrilled!

This = flat tummy
Bootie in check and firm

slim inner thighs {no rubbin' together}

No rolls in mid-section / slim face/neck - etc..

Once I get to 150ish, I'll know then if more work needs to be done. ;)

Mal so true I wore XXL when I weighed 255 ans still at 200 some reason you feel you hide your fat but really it does make ya look heavier well atleast on me.
 
Also that goes to show we all are built differently,I am 180's and wear a comfy 14 tight 13's and when I was 255 I wore a 22 I hit a size 18 probally when I was in the 220's.Weird how that works my goal is a size 8 AKA or 145 which ever comes 1st reality is I will NEVER be a size 2,4,6,or weigh 115-130!! Honestly it wouldn't llook right with my build.
HECK I would be happy in the 160's a comfortable happy.Anyway I wish ya luck with your goals you gotta keep going until YOUR happy,:)
 
I know, it's soooo strange huh?!

I will have ta find a pick of when I was a size 0 before havin' son and scan it/post it..

A size 0 back then was not how it is today.

I looked great. {115 lbs.} I was still a young lady but that was just me..Lean/Tall/Just my body..

I will be THRILLED to just get back to an 11/12!

LOL
