Before & After Wieght Loss

This is somewhat of a tough post to do but I've learned to be REAL about my weight - for me.

I thought I'd show some "BEFORE" and "AFTER" weight loss photos of me. I have been fotunate enough to maintain my weight loss and am continuing to do so. 

The 2 pics below are me at a shameful 202 pounds in November 2010.  I am 5'5 ...or two hairs under...LOL

I started my weight loss journey mid January of this year.  I joined Weight Watchers then and diligently kept on their points system for a couple months...until....Candace turned me onto Livestrong. I have been faithful to Livestrong since.  I still attend WW meetings but solely for individual and group support.  I am now a free member for life after having reached my personal goal weight.

WW put my goal weight at 150 pounds.  I reached 150 lbs in five months.  But, me being me, was not happy with that goal so I asked to be reset at 145 lbs.  Done. I continued to lose and now stay at or around 140 pounds.  But, I have reset a new goal for myself - 134 lbs by Christmas.  And since I have typed it on my blog, I will give it every effort possible.

So here ya go - AFTER photos...of the summer wedding of a niece .

I have gone from a VERY TIGHT size 16W jeans (some 18s) to a VERY comfortable size 6 jeans, and a slightly tight size 4...jeans.

I have gone from a size 2XL in tops to a size Small...(medium if I chose even loser fitting).

That's my story and I'm STICKING WITH IT.  

And thank YOU for sticking with Sew Cindy.

Hugs.
