NEW PICS ON PAGES 1 & 2.

hello everyone my name is Katie. I have lurked on this site since about August and use this before and after thread as motivation to keep moving. All of your stories are so inspiring and your transformations are amazing. I have only lost about 27 pounds so far, and its hard to see a huge difference but I will post some pictures and add to them later.

my weight has changed alot throughout my life but Ive always been pretty chunky..all of the before pictures were probably around 195-205.

(maroon shirt, blue hoodie @ bottom left, red shirt, green jacket @ the right)

When I started really working at it without getting frustrated and giving up... in August I was @ 195 and now I am almost half way to my first goal of losing 60 pounds.

the halloween one I was around 175
I dont remember the black shirt one exactly
but the others were taken yesterday and I am at about 169

I know these aren't the best pictures because theyre mostly so close up and @ "good" angles...but I guess
you can get the drift. I don't feel like its that much of a difference but then again I have only lost 27 pounds of the 60
I set to lose so far..being 5'3 it will most likely end up being more than 60 pounds Ill have to lose.


I have real "before and middle" pictures but I am a little embarrassed to show them still...so Im going to wait until I get closer to my goal to post them.

Welldone on the weight loss so far.
I can see a huge difference - especially in your face!
p.s I really like your green jacket with the orange buttons. Hehe.
 
thanks! haha yea I love that jacket..and I wore it all the time over those cute summer dresses (in the summer!) because I hate my arms. Once I get into shape and have nice arms I wont have to cover up anymore :)
 
Congrats on your success so far!!!

Just a tip. Try not to post angled pictures on these forums. People want to see what you actually look like, not a distorted image.

Good luck, I'll be checking back in!!

P.S. you are absolutely gorgeous!
 
casey--yea like i mentioned..not the best angles to look at a full figure change... but I figured you could at least see the difference in my face so I just posted them because I dont have many pictures of my whole body and stuff lol

but thanks :)
 
So were in almost the exact situation im around 5'3
and I just weighed in at 169 tonight. haha kinda cool.
Anyways you are looking terrific keep it up (=

Just surpassed my "halfway" mark..31 pounds down. It feels really good to see results but I can also feel them :)
 
you're stunning! congrats on your current weight loss! Like you, I've been lurking on this forum for about a week now... it's inspiring..
 
Hey everyone..just as an update.. I am now at a 41 lb weight loss..1 lb over 2/3 of the way there!!! I feel great about myself and I am so glad I had the support of all of you with your amazing stories.


As for what I am doing..I really just work out alot to off-set the fact that I am not on a super strict diet. That may seem unhealthy but its really the only thing that works for me. I tried those super strict diets and it doesnt work me. If I do that I have no energy to work out.

I really just eat healthier versions of what I liked before. Healthier types of sandwhiches, healthier pastas, healthier soups, etc. I just watch my calories and keep it around 1200-1500. If I feel like I had a higher calorie day, I will make up for it by working out harder.

When I first started I actually worked out more..is that weird? I used to work out like 2-3 hours a day. Now theres like 2 or 3 days a week I work out for that long..but usually its just 45-60 mins a day now.

Aw look at you in your new cute little waist! Wow, I really need to get your motivation. You've done a good job.
 
You look amazing, what a difference! You're super cute too :)
Where did you get the fancy dress costume from btw?

great job !

by the way, you look 10 times better on the photos on which you are smiling instead of making the infamous duck face. Just keep smiling, it's natural and it looks so much better :)

as for your weight loss, I admire you just like I admire everyone here. Great job and keep it up !
