BEFORE I NEEDED A BEFORE SHOT 1/18/2003 139 pounds Size 5/7
Although 139 is still above what is usually recommended for my height, they are wrong! I am quite thin at 139, my collar bones stick way out. So, this is my goal. I have had one more baby since this picture was taken, but I think I can do it.....I think I can, I think I can.....
In fact, I know I can. When I took this picture I had a two-and-a-half year old and a six month old. I gained 45 pounds with each. By the time the six month old was about 16 months old, I had gained 20 of it back. I got pregnant again and put on another 48 with that baby. 38 pounds came off immediately; so I had 10 pounds of baby weight, plus the 20 to lose. I have, unfortunately, put on another 13 pounds.....so, in total I need to lose 43 pounds. It's a lot and seems like too much; much more than I can handle. But, I will just start trying. I read that many people don't start dieting because it takes too long to lose the weight, but that time goes by anyway and we just find ourselves six months later weighing the same. This is so true for me! I think, gawd, 43 pounds is a lot to lose, it will take forever....but, now my youngest is 15 months old....You know how much I could have lost in that time!?!?!

NOW THAT I NEED A BEFORE SHOT 10/05 183 pounds I am going to waive 3 pounds because I have (obviously) had a boob job and my surgion said they weigh 3 pounds...so they don't count! My weight loss goal is, therefore, 40 pounds. Let's hope for 2 pounds per week... that's 20 weeks...5 months.....So, let's just say April 1st. There, my goal: 40 pounds lost by April 1, 2006.
