My Success Picture

**Karin_texas** · 12-20-2005, 05:30 PM

Now keep in mind that I am 5 foot 1 inches and was 167 pounds! I was so freaking HUGE! Now I am 129 but would like to lose 10-15 more pounds to reach my goal weight. I am so close to my goal and I feel like 1000 times better. I could literally COUNT how many pictures there were of me in the last 5 years (when I just went nuts and got fat with two pregnances and going out to eat all the damn time!) Now, I want to have my picture taken all the time with my kids becuase there aren't any of me with them. That in itself has made this all worth it and more.

This was me before

I feel totally different now than I did when I was fat. That's my success story~ I will send another picture when I get to 115!

Just saw your post on before and after pictures. I too and very short.. 5' and look awful right now. It wasn't that long ago when everyone use to take my picture. My husband and I dress up and go to the Renaissance Festivals here in Texas. I am not sure what happened since May of 2005 but I just packed on the lbs. So time to get my butt motivated and get back to being a smiling face in all my Friends pictures.

I need to use your pics/story (esp. since I know you personally) to get myself back on the wagon....I should have started back on it again this week - it was a slow week - good for those first few nights of little sleep.

You look great! I'm super proud of you!

Love,
