Comparisson Pics
Before:
Now:
First pic taken at my birthday/housewarming party in September 2009. Current pic taken this Saturday at my friend's daughter's party. Same dress - same friends, different me :)
Thanks Jen. I've lost 63 lbs since October. It's been a rough year financially so I haven't gotten to go get new clothes like I would have liked too. My wardrobe is really limited to umm... gym clothes. This dress I bought in August 09 and only wore a couple of times. It's a wrap style dress so it ties around you. I guess it could fit anyone but it fits me a lot differently (better) now than it did 63lbs ago. My friend noticed it was the same dress as I wore in September and said we HAD to get another pic in it. Otherwise, I probably would have done my usual hiding from the camera. ;-)
Sara, I am so impressed with your level of commitment and dedication to lose the weight and live life a little better, healthier. I remember when you first started loosing the weight that you said you were happy you could play with and run around with your girls without getting winded. I think that is absolutely wonderful friend! You look absolutely tremendous (though you've always been gorgeous to me)! Major kudos and high-5's!
Awww... thanks Judi. And thank you for getting me to take the picture. :) Love you so much. P.S. I not only can run around and play with my girls without getting winded but now I can out run them ;-) Being healthier feels great: physically, mentally, and spiritually. :)
WoooooooooW!!! That is so amazing to see you w the same girls, same dress, and sooooo much smaller!!!! So awesome!!! That almost made me cry!! You know I've been a little jealous lately of how much you are still losing and how I am now pregnant and feel somehow like a failure i the weight loss dept. when you still lose and I not so much, but i know now it's ok we have completely different journey's and I have to remember that. I was frustrated I can't do another Tri soon and you have one coming up, ect. ect. but I look forward to my baby journey, and all that God has for me and in His time losing the weight! I also was feeling like since we are family they were sort of comparing us (?) imagination? Idano.. but it's so funny we started this at totally separate times, didn't even know each other were trying, then supported each other, then became a little competitive, lol, now def finishing at different times. But God has different plans for both of us, and His will was for us to have another baby and He knows best. So congrats and good luck and I am cheering for you! You really do look great. xoxo
We've always been on different journeys but it's hard not to compare where you're at and where someone else is. Friendly competition can be good and hold you accountable and someone to encourage, motivate and support you on the way. I hope that's what you were feeling. :-)
omg you look faaab, i love before/current pics!!!! how does that dress even FIT? how much have you lost??
