What does 35 pounds look like?
« on: January 09, 2008, 10:33:16 PM »
Hi Everyone. This a bit of self bragging thread, and a some encouragement for me to stick with my resolution  :-* This year my resolution is to lose  20 more pounds, unless I'm really happy with less.

Last December I decided that I was sick and tired of being overweight so I made it my resolution to lose 20 pounds in 2007.  Well, I ended up losing 37, so here are my before and after pictures  :-)  No making fun of the first picture  :hammer:

EXCELLENT, Rose. You look incredible and good job. You have all my support for your goals this year. Keep up the good work. Are you feeling any better after shedding that?

I feel a lot healthier overall, and more confident.  I don't get out of breath as easily as I used to :)

You are a beautiful woman in both pics.

But good for you for tossing off those pounds. Hotter in the latter is no doubt better :)

Damn, I was going to say that.

WTH, I'll just agree in spades.

I need to post my before and after sometime.  I lost 70lbs.   I managed to lose 80, but I got ten back already.

I know how hard it is, and how hard it is too keep it going. :cheersmate:  So congratulations.

I OTOH, just stay the same.  I don't eat sweets, I walk 1 hour a day, I allow myself only one "junk food" meal a week.  I don't get worse, but I don't get svelter.

Oh well.

oh yeah, i know men love the big boob thing... for us ladies, its just a pain.

the cute tops and summer stuff is all for smaller boobed women..

thats some motivation as i have a new clothing line i want to get into (its called Free People, if any of the ladies are interested) and their stuff is just adorable.

and God Speed on quitting smoking.. probably the hardest addiction of all to beat.. i wish you luck!

Yep, ditto what BEG said. I'm not just commenting to comment either. You do look terrific, Rose, and as you said, you are feeling the health benefits of it by increased energy, confidence, and all around feeling of well being.  :-*
