That is some awesome progress! I know exactly what you are talking about with wearing the jeans high so that the rolls don't hang out! I have some jeans that I used to do that with (same size as yours) and now they are so baggy! I'm going clothes shopping tomorrow night....I really hope that I can find a pair that are flattering. Everything that I have is way too baggy in the legs and butt. Well, keep it up little lady! You are doing some amazing work!

Ooooo have fun shopping! I need to soon as well. I have just been wearing belts. Most of my pants are baggy in the legs as well and they make me look bigger than I am. Im trying to hold off on buying clothes until I lose these 5 lbs lol So I can treat myself to a 32lb weightloss pants buying party :hurray:

I see that your so close to a 20lbs weightloss! woo hoo. Awesome. I keep telling everyone this. Im a dork.. Go to walmart or wherever(I like target) and pick up a 20lb bag of dog food and put it on your shoulders so you can feel what you were carrying around..I have prob said this like 100 times but its just cool to really grasp how much weight you've lost..

It has been very cool to see your progress thus far...

I just want to kind of let you know that 16 lbs in 7 weeks (hell even 8 weeks) is really great. I don't want you to have to think you're "settling" for a low number. Things like the Biggest Loser and adverts kind of make the achievement of losing weight a numbing experience. It shouldn't be and you should be very proud of 1 lb or 5 lbs just the same. Moreso you should be proud of your clothes loosening up on you. That is the REAL true indicator, not the scale, which can't really record the things going on in your body as it is chemically changing.

Good luck with everything.
 
Lea you are doing AWESOME!!! I love seeing those pics. I also love the idea of picking up the amount of weight that you have lost. Puts it all into perspective.

Also, it will be so much fun to go shopping for new "smaller" clothes, and then those clothes will become the "fat" clothes, too!!!

Keep up the good work! :hurray:
 
Warning-chunky undies

most recent photo added. I am still a BBW (yeah I suppose) but I am getting smaller. 1st photo is around 230 something I think. The last photo is 195. I have 60 more lbs to go. When I hit 180 I will add another photo....
 
Wow awesome progress! I can really tell a difference so great job :) You and I started around the same time but I haven't lost as much as you yet. I plan to catch up now though :D
 
I love your progess pics! Keep it up girl!!

We started around the same weight.. I was 237 at my heaviest and I'm now around 204. I've sort of plateaued over the past 2 weeks and haven't lost anything over my last two weigh-ins.. It's hard not to get a just a tiny bit discouraged but I gotta keep going strong! hehe...
 
Good luck to you!

Derrick

P.S. What's with the antivirus warnings I got when I clicked on your links? :leaving:
 
Great work! I can deff see a difference! Your stomach looks much flatter and your hips! Nice! Also, you've inspired me to put up a pic of me now in fat pants. What a great idea! I love feeling that extra room! Keep it up.

Awesome. Also I have another thing I do. Every so often when your at a store go to the dogfood section....Everytime you lose 10 lbs pick up the amount of weight you lose. I picked up a 40 lb bucket of cat litter the other day and I barely could carry it. To think that I carried that everyday is somewhat of an eye opener. When I hit my 100 lbs goal I dont know if I will be able to carry it haha

You look so good!! Your progress pics are very motivating. It's something I kept telling myself I should do and have never done. Today when I get home I'm taking some damn pics!! :D

Let's keep it up!! :grouphug:

Seriously do it. If I can post photos of my plus size butt than you can too! It helps so much to see where we came from during the long weightloss process. Also pics inspire so many people!
 
Wow.. What a great weight lost within a month... Great job.
Good luck with your weight loss journey.... That's the journey we here all do... So welcome to join in... =]
 
Great progress so far! Was that one pic of you in your actual wedding dress? What a stunning gown and veil! I'm sure you looked beautiful.

Congratulations on having a loving husband and baby, too! You are building your life and moving it in the direction you choose to go. Keep it up!

Cheers

Yes the red/white gown and veil is what I wore. Thanks!
 
Favorite pants

I wore these in 9th grade lol and they have been sitting in my closet ever since. My style has changed just a bit since then ; ) They say they are a size 11, but think they are more like 13's. I also have a size 9 that I can't put them on my hips yet. I took photos of me in them last week. When I can zip them I will show photos again.
