Shell's Befores and in-betweens (UPDATED: 12/7)

Edited 12/7/07!

As a newbie, I figured I'd post these.

Me at 165 lbs on October 3rd, 2007




Phew. Glad that's over with. Thanks. Let's hope in a few months I'll have made some progress. :)

UPDATE 12/7/07
:
So I haven't made much progress. I lost about 12 pounds, gained some back over turkey day break, then lost what I gained and now I'm at a momentary stand still. I guess I mostly just wanted to post these for me since it's been a few months. It'll be a miracle if I can lose any weight over this next 3 week break once semester's over. Hopefully I'll at least maintain! Anywho, here's the new ones.




I really wanna look skinny in this some day...


So I can kind of tell a bit in the side and front. Not too much though, I'm wondering if part of that is a distance thing. The back looks worse lol but I took the picture differently. And I just love that sweater, but won't wear it until I feel like I don't look icky in it.

Thanks guys,
Shell

Hey there, thanks for checking in and commenting on my thread. You look great already, I know you probably think different but with a little will power you will lose that weight quick.
 
I have to say you have CURVES!! And well there are so many of us on here that think CURVES are AWESOME! you have a fabulous upper body. I would say you don't have to much to lose, you lucky girl!! Good Luck on your venture, I think you'll do just fine!!! I'll be checking in on your success

Thanks guys. :) I'll be popping in on you too.

I have about 35 pounds or so that'll get me to a happy point. They may be curves, but they're are curves below with less fat around them. LOL. So I'll be searching for those. I'm just sick of being at my size and seing al my friends lose weight/be skinny with no self-esteem issues what-so-ever. So I just want to be happy and I think this will help.

Hi! I think you look great too!

You and I have opposite body shapes. I hold all my weight upstairs- including my face. :rolleyes:

Good luck!
 
you look fantastic :)you've worked your butt off... and tummy too...

And what a beautiful face you have as well -you're looking pretty skinny to me :D
 
You're so cute :D I love your smile!
I really can see the difference between the photos! Really nice work you've been doing! Go girl!
 
Hey Cute Girl! :)

You and I are similar in shape and goals.

I notice a difference, good for you!

What are you doing to lose the weight?

How tall are you?

Thanks guys. :) I really appreciate the support.

To answer your questions, I'm 5'6" (or almost....5'5.5" or something like that lol).

To lose the weight so far I've just been counting calories. I haven't been working out too much, I have a busy school schedule but I'm really going to try to work out more next semester. I'll also be joining a ballroom dancing class, and probably a belly dancing class or pilates. So I haven't worked out much since I started in October, but I've still seen results. Sometimes I'll do some balance ball work and leg lifts in the mornings.
I've been eating about 1200-1400 calories a day (recommended by thedailyplate.com). I've found the site really helpful and sticking to calorie counting hasn't been as hard as I thought. I usually have about one day a week when I go out and splurge, but I try not to overdo it. Plus when I go out I'm usually dancing for a few hours which can be quite the work out!

Thanks again guys!

The belly dancing classes are a workout! I'm currently taking a class and it's fun!
 
Shell,

You have a great figure! I would say lose nothing, but of course we gotta do what makes us happy :) you are VERY cute.
 
I've heard belly dancing really works your core and gives you some sexy moves all at the same time. :) Glad to see someone else is enjoying the class! I hope I will too (so long as it doesn't conflict with my school schedule).

You guys are so sweet. You're making me:blush5:.

:seeya: Looking great so far! Quite a difference already; you will be stunning at your goal, I'm sure! I am thinking of taking a bellydancing class, too...

cheers & good luck on your journey
 
You can definately see the difference especially in the one of the front. Your hips definately look smaller! Congrats!
