Curves – 14 months

Well, after falling off the wagon for 2 months, I hopped back on and buckled down. It was hard, but I did it. And I feel a lot better for it. I’m back down in the teens of the 200’s, and I am planning on staying down here for a little while. I do not anticipate going back over 220 if I can help it. And I will NEVER see the 230’s again!

I had my weigh and measure this morning. And I am honestly pleased to see how much my hard work paid off. My weight was back down, and my measurements were all either down or the same. I did not gain any inches or any weight.

I owe my success to God. Without His love and support, I don’t think I would have been able to get back here. It was my own fault that I got to where I was. And now, in His hands, I make no plans to go back to where I was before I got back here.

Without further ado, I present my numbers.. and some pictures. Please leave your name if you view. Thanks so much!

I love reading these. You look wonderful and are going about this in such a healthy way. What an excellent example for your kids.

good job!

I knew you could do it once you set your mind to it. Looking great! Just be careful with your eating while the ankle is keeping you from exercising. I’m lazy I don’t like to exercise so I lose my weight with limiting my diet. I checked out curves once and felt it cost more than I wanted to pay and I was afraid I wouldn’t go. I might look into it again after my knee surgery. You look so happy and are smiling compared to the beginning picture. Accomplishing what you have has given you confidence. Keep up the good works.

You look Fab, girl!

Love your flex pose 🙂 Keep up the great work.

You’re looking amazing! I wish I had your strength. I’ve lost 10 lbs in the past 6 months. Pathetic. I need to lose 30 before October! Motivation? Advise? You’re an inspiration!

Louie's Workout

Wow, you are doing such an awesome job! Keep it up! 🙂 I used to weigh 217, at my heaviest and went down to 148, without counting calories, just working out and eating healthier, maintained that for like a year. Then I went back up after a lot of stressful things, including a new job, getting sick, and over a couple months went up to 170. Now I am back on track, getting closer to my goal!

Saw your note on Whisperingwriter just wanted to saw that I totally hated the hangover movie But i did like Bridesmaids, Hangover was just stupid 4 guys getting sooo drunk they cant remember what they did I just didnt find it funny, But Bridesmaids Had a sweet story behind it She’s in this downhill slope and then she meets a great guy and things start to look up. LOL Just thought id share my opinion Cause im diffently on the prude-ish side. LOL

Saw you on commonsense’s diary and thought I’d stop by.. It looks like you’ve made great changes in your life and health. May I ask how tall you are because you really do not look like you weigh as much as those numbers say!
