[*TanyaJeanne*]

A huge motivator for people..myself included is to see before and after pictures of others!!!

[Jaci]

I just want to sub to this thread, it is a great motivator. I think the first person to post hers should be MelBel. She achieved her goal in our last challenge, so my congrats to her!

Now where is that *little* stinker?

[*Tanya*]

Um, I'm not MelBel, but I'll post mine anyway. :heee:

I lost about 20 lbs last year, just counting calories, eating smaller portions, and drinking lots of water.

I can't believe I'm posting this picture. :yuck:

You look fab! If I may ask, how tall are you?

[*Tanya*]

:D Thanks everybody!

Jaci, not very! :lol: I'm 4'10.5". :shuffle:

[Jaci]

yay for the new avatar! I see you took my advice :)

I couldn't remember if you were...vertically challenged or not, but your after picture, something just didn't look "right" about it, and that's probably what it was. Not that it was "right" in a bad way, but, well, I'm a photographer, so I tend to know how people photograph.

[*TanyaJeanne*]

T1 you look fab! :)

[Celeste&Bill]

I'll post mine! I'm off my diet since I'm pg with twins :lol: But hopefully I'll get back to where I was before I got pg!

Before at 206 lbs:

I lost it doing WW's and running. For running, I followed the Couch to 5K program. I ran a couple of 5K's before I got pg.

[Kristie]

[*Ashley*]

I'll definitely second that -- Celeste WOW! Good for you!

[Aurora_K]

Celeste - After you finished the C25k program, how often did you run? I'm hacing a hard time getting into an exercise groove. Do you do any other kind of workout?

[Shaylee]

Wow. Everyone's pictures are so remarkable that I actually feel a little :blush: about posting mine!

When I decided to lose weight I found a thread like this and was so impressed with what people had accomplished, and it really motivated me to do something.

This is me before at over 200 lb. and a month or so again, minus 50 lb. I still have about 10-15 to go - all in good time!

[~*Kate*~]

Everyone looks so great! Congrats!!

[Julie]

Wow!!! You look great!!! How did you lose the weight??
Thank you! I did WW and worked out. After meeting FH though I gained about 10 lbs back though, too much going out to eat! So I'm back to it working to get those 10 off.

[johnsdeere]

Good for you!! That really is a achievement.

[Nik]

I love these threads! Everybody looks great!!!

[nikkiscott]

I don't have any pics to share, but I wanted to say that all you ladies look great. I am on a quest to hit 170. And I know with the way that I am going I will be able to reach that goal. When I reach that goal I will be back to post a before and after pic for sure.

[Vanessaness]

I don't have before and after pics to show yet. But I hope to soon. I'm starting a work out regimen by taking a few college classes this spring. 3 days a week I'm taking a pilates class. 2 days a week a kickboxing class and one night a week a salsa, swing and 2 step dance class.

If this doesn't get my botty in shape I don't know what will. :lol:

Oh and just so you know I'm also watching what I'm eating through out all this. Wish me luck girls! I really need it. My weddings in 5 months and I ordered my dress one dress size smaller then I am now. So I must loose at least 15 lbs and 2 inches before the wedding date. :eek:

[renee]

I have before, after, and then after the after so I think I'll just start over again!!! :lol:

[Dmsangel]

Here's a side by side comparisson. I lost roughly 40 lbs. on weight watchers. Started on Flex and then switched to Core. It's more liveable. I've been maintaining for almost 2 years now. I go to the gym a lot too, I do cardio on the treadmill or eliptical and I do a good amount of weight lifting.

[stephjhudson]

wow! YOU LOOK GREAT!
I lost 40 lbs on ww about 2 years ago and im currently up about 10 lbs..
Thanks for the motivation to get back to goal!
ive always do flex....im afraid of core....how does it work?

[Dmsangel]

Thanks!! On Core you eat what's on the "list" only the list is about a million pages long. And you eat until you're satisfied, which is hard for some people. But you don't have to count any points, weigh anything etc. On a typical day, I eat shredded wheat & a banana for breakfast...maybe a sweet potato for lunch and a variety of things for dinner. Fish, steak, chicken, whole wheat pasta. And for snacks it's mostly fruits & veggies, fat free cottage cheese, 94% fat free popcorn.

When I was on Flex I'd eat processed foods over fruit because they were less points. I saw a problem in that!

[Kristie]

You look great!!! Congrats with the awesome weightloss for 2 years!

[*TanyaJeanne*]

You look great! :)

[Mrs.H]

Wow, you look amazing!!!

[Julie]

Great job! I did WW too and like Steph am up about 10 lbs. I may have to try Core.

[Shaylee]

I've plastered these pictures on every website I can think of ( :blush: ) but feel extremely accomplished for losing over 60+ lb. in 2006. I wanted to do it for so long but just literally couldn't...until last year! :jump4joy:

Sept. 2005 vs. Jan. 2007

[~*Kate*~]

Wow, you look great Sabrina! How did you lose it?

[Sabby12s]

Thanks, Kate!

I'm doing SlimFast. It helps with my IBS too because the "meals" are so small, but I eat throughout the day so I don't let myself get hungry or try not to at least. As it teacher its not always easy to grab something to eat whenever hunger strikes.
