I've now lost 142.6 lbs now.....updated pics JUNE 17TH 2011

[vickieboggs]

UPDATED WITH NEW PHOTOS JUNE 17 TH 2011 ...... I am only 15lbs away from my goal weight now....but I know throughout summer I will probably gain and lose like 5lbs over and over and over with all the camping, birthdays, bbq's and other festivities that I have to attend....in between parties I'll eat properly..... but even so I am sure it will take me the rest of this whole year to actually get on track and shed that last bit of weight, but I thought since it has been 2 months since I last posted an update I should share a few pictures. These new pics are me in my Zombie Bikini (it was a gift from my sister, she knew I wanted it soooo bad so she gave it to me as a weight loss present) and I wanted to show you a new photo of my back since I'm midway through my 2nd round of P90X and I didn't think there would be much of a difference from the last 10 weeks.....but whoa the pictures totally tell a different story!! As usual new photos at end of first post

I am now 129.2lbs LIGHTER since january 2010. I am almost at the end of my weight loss journey I only have 35.6 lbs to go to reach my ultimate goal weight. New photos at the bottom of this post so you can see what I used to look like and what I look like now. Oh and for clothing size reference I'm now about a 10/12 for pants and a med for shirts.

updated with new photos on NOV 11TH......today I weighed in at 100.4 LBS LOST. I have approx 64.4 lbs left to lose.....but I could stop as soon as I lose 47.4 lbs more if I am happy with how I look/feel at that point. The new photos are at the bottom of this first post.

I started out on January 25th 2010 with weight watchers online, lost 40 lbs in 4 months. Was referred to a different free weight loss site (my fitness pal) and I've been using the program ever since and lost another 44 lbs. I have went from a size 24 to a 16-18 (depending on brand) even some 14's fit now........(from a 3-4x to a large or x-large by size) I feel so much better........but I still have a LONG LONG WAY TO GO YET, I'm approx 1/2 way, I'd like to lose another 82 lbs hopefully in the next year.

anyway here are some photos:


Heaviest photo I have of myself from November 2009 (2 months before I started losing weight)


April 2010 I had lost approx 20 lbs and bought this skirt off HC (Harmony Threads 4 panel skirt.....I'm gonna have to make it into a 3 panel skirt to fit it any longer! LOL)


Fast forward to end of May 2010 and I had lost approx 40ish lbs and had this photo taken with my sister.



my mom got married June 19th and I had lost 56lbs. This dress is now huge on me!!



my cousin got married Aug 28th and by this time I had lost 76lbs.....but I really worked hard this week (and danced a lot at the wedding) and a few days after her wedding I actually weighed in 5 lbs lighter for a total of 81 gone!!

Here are some photos of me from last week going through the old "big" clothes to get rid of them:





and here are some photos of me from TODAY sept 16th!!

skirt from nifty necessities off HC (now known as Sew Blest and More)


another HC skirt (Kobieta 1/2 circle skirt made out of bamboo stretch knit)









nov 11th 2010


Here are before and today of me wearing the same skirt (the shirt is the same one I wore in the 2nd photo from the top of this post for comparison) (wow....look at the difference in boob size!!! LOL)



Here are 2 photos showing how much too big the skirt is for me. I used to be a size 24 now I'm pretty darn close to being a size 14. Funny enough the skirt doesn't even look as big on me in this photo as it is in real life....there is actually like 12 inches of space between me and my arm in these photos!!!



Here are a few pictures of me from today. I didn't think that 16lbs would make too much of a difference but even from my other "today" photos (from sept 16th when I had only lost 84lbs) I think I can see some change.


I like this photo of ME because if you look at the photos of my moms wedding above this is the dress my little sister is wearing and I NOW FIT IT!!!




a few comparison photos.....the first set were of me from aug 10th 2010 and the second set are from april 3rd 2011. I'm wearing the exact same shorts and sports top in both pictures.


Here I am once again wearing my Harmony Threads skirt (as seen in multiple above photos) but it has been resized to fit......it actually had to have almost a full 2 of the 4 panels completely removed....so it's now a 2 1/2 panel skirt LOL Funny enough this picture was taken almost exactly 1 year after my original "big" photo was (only 2 days short of a year actually)


This is just a fun photo. My cousin got married several years ago and I remember thinking how thin, beautiful she was and how gorgeous her dress was and how I only wish I could fit it.....well I went over one day (only last month) and tried it on.....and guess what.....IT WAS TOO BIG!!!
It barely stayed on for this picture but it did, and I just love that finally after all these years I got into it!

NEW PHOTOS HERE!!


Comparison photos for you.....the one on the left is from oct 5th 2010 and the one in the middle was taken on march 18th 2011 and the photo on the right is from approx beginning of June 2011 (this is how muscular my back got with doing 4.5 months of of P90X......I am midway through my 2nd round)


Here is the front view of me in my ZOMBIE bikini

WELL I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH NEW PICTURES FOR NOW..........

OMG, you look awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! I really needed the inspiration. I need to keep going with this weight loss journey especially now that Angi is getting married. I don't want to buy a tent-Mother-of-the-bride dress. You must feel so amazing!
