Here is the picture I posted in September showing my progress. On the left is around April/ May of 2013. The picture on the left was taken with Cassadee Pope who is a very sweet person, BUT mega mega skinny. So I felt like a tub next her, and I simply winced when I was given this picture of us together because of how I look in it. The picture on the right is me without the 20 extra pounds!

I still wanted to lose another 10 lbs to obtain my goal weight. But after seeing the before and after in this picture, I was determined to do it.
Recently I discovered that without wearing myself out about it, I've lost another 7 lbs. That makes 27 lbs. total weight loss since last April/ May. I think you can see a difference with this pic.

I've gone from not fitting into my size 10 jeans (and keep in mind I'm only 5'3") to fitting into a size 7. Now the size 7 is too big!
Size 6 feels right for my height and frame to me. I'm comfortable in all of my clothes, and I feel good!
Are you asking...how did you do it?
Honestly?
I'm still not drinking alcohol. I stopped drinking completely, and I started feeling different. The changes in my body were so dramatic! I've tried for years to accomplish significant weight loss, and I was never this successful. But I didn't want to believe that cutting out alcohol could yield these kinds of results. Now I'm a true believer! I can feel a total body upgrade! My skin looks healthier and younger, plus I'm bursting with energy!
Some have said to me, "don't lose any more weight". But I haven't meant to purposely lose weight. I guess my metabolism is pretty high, but I was stunting it with alcohol. I'm not saying I will never drink again, but why take the risk when I'm enjoying a whole new me, right?
I would love to hear about your weight loss stories and how you accomplished your goals. Leave me a message here on my blog, or write to me on Facebook.

You have done a really good job!!! Congrats on the weight you have lost. I have been trying to lose weight for 3 or 4 years now. I have tried everything. I don't drink so I can't cut that out. I don't know what else to do.
ReplyDeleteD, you look absolutely wonderful. Congratulations to you. I know that you were very determined and very diligent. I'm proud of you.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! You look great!!
ReplyDeleteD. you look stunning. I lost 30 lbs with Team Beachbody workouts and been keeping it off ever since. I feel like a new person. I learned that Nutrition is such an important part of loosing weight and feeling great. Working out in the time others need to get to the gym and doing it on my schedule helped me work it into my busy schedule. I am happy to pay it forward and help others now with their journey. I never know a more rewarding feeling. Keep it up you are so inspiring!
