KWR: Before/After Weightloss

Bethie, on August 18, 2015 at 11:45 PM

Posted in Fitness and Health 94

Well, I should say before/during weight loss. This is hard for me to post because my before picture is so embarrassing for me. And no, I'm not pregnant in that photo and never have been. I don't even know if that is me at my heaviest. Obviously candid photos are going to look worse than gym selfies...

Well, I should say before/during weight loss. This is hard for me to post because my before picture is so embarrassing for me. And no, I'm not pregnant in that photo and never have been. I don't even know if that is me at my heaviest. Obviously candid photos are going to look worse than gym selfies anyway but I started my weight loss journey around May of 2014. I have lost 54lbs by counting calories and adding exercise... I've plateaued this year with only losing 15ish lbs since January. I'm now trying to work out harder and spice things up to lose more. I bought my wedding dress in a 12 and would like to have it altered to an 8 if I can lose that much.

I would love for you ladies to share before/afters if you have them and what you did/are doing to shed the lbs! I need some extra motivation to keep going. I know my problem is sweets but I just have zero will power. Smiley sad

    About two weeks ago my maids of honor (I have two) and I did a challenge, and it has really helped me lose the last few pounds before my wedding this weekend, and has kept me from getting tempted by alcohol and yummy food. We have a shared google spreadsheet and we have to write in it the day before what we are going to eat the following day. For every day that you don't stick to your plan, you owe $10. No substitutions. Very simply - if you did not put it on the spreadsheet the day before, you can't eat it. I think it has worked wonderfully.

    Can we just keep this thread going forever? Because honestly before/afters and people succeeding with weight loss is so motivating to me!

    I ran 7 miles yesterday Smiley smile and I plan to run 6 miles today!

    Wow! This is so inspirational. I gained a lot of weight over the last year after moving in with FH. It has been so frustrating because I was within 15 lbs. of my goal weight after losing almost 40. This is my first week of getting back on track. You ladies look fabulous. This is major encouragement. Thanks!

    Wow! Everyone looks wonderful! You're all very inspiring! Keep it going!!!

    Some of you know I've been struggling with my weight since a bad car accident I was in. First picture isn't the best, but it was one taken two and a half weeks before my accident, I was 127.4 pounds which I stayed plateaued at for years, after the accident my weight ballooned up to 182, I have very, very few photos taken during that time and they are all on FH's phone because he would sneak them. The second photo was taken on May 4th, I was down to 174. I literally just took the third photo, my weight is at 158.8. Weight has been coming off from pretty much all over, not just one targeted area. I've noticed the biggest changes in my chest and thighs. I feel like I still look the same, but luckily I feel a bit different.

    All I have done to loose the weight has really just been changing my diet, thankfully I was cleared to exercise and I've attempted several times, however even after this extremely long freakin' recovery period certain parts of me still hurt. I haven't been exercising due to a busy schedule, however I plan to pick up cardio again this weekend actually!

    ETA what I've been doing to loose weight and to point out its hard to see my weight loss, however you can see my boobs are more perky since they aren't as supersized, my thighs have slimmed and my belly is flatter.

    I love seeing everyone's pictures! This is awesome and so inspiring!

    I decided two weeks ago that it was time to get off my ass because I had (at that time) 12 weeks until my boudoir shoot! I just started counting calories on myfitnesspal and going for walks - I've lost 4 pounds so far! Nothing for a before and after pic yet but its motivating.

    My fitnesspal has helped me so much because there are crazy calories in foods you don't even think about! Like there are 60 calories in one pump of white mocha syrup at Starbucks! I used to get three pumps! It just made me more aware and now I'm excited that I'm seeing small results.

    Wow you ladies look amazing!!! I am so inspired to get my butt up and get back to working out. I was an athlete so didn't have an issue till after college when the sports where over. About 4 years ago I hit my biggest 220 , immediately changed my eating habits picked up a treadmill and walked every day until I do running and next thing I know within a few months I dropped 60lbs. This past year was crazy rough and I am dangerously close to 200 so now its time to work it off before the wedding! Here is a pic when I first lost the weight which is where I am trying to get back to. Goal is to lose 60Lbs
