i just wanna thank everyone in this thread for inspiring me to go tomorrow. you alll look so great and i cant wait to put up my own before and after pics
Is your bridal gown an Alfred Angelo one? I LOVE THEM!!! Will be trying some on when I get to that stage of wedding-planning!!! I love the ones with colours!!!
The top picture was taken in April 2008 at Disney and the bottom one taken on fathers day this year, just over 1 year later and 2 stone lighter. I've lost another 7lb since the bottom photo was taken and I want to lose another stone on top of that to get to my target.
Ok, so my 'before' pictures will start a little weird, because they are pictures of me when I was way too thin! Let me explain...before my weight gain (started at 24) I was average of 9st-9st7lb ish. But at that weight I still felt a little 'heavy' (yeah sounds ridiculous eh?). But I went down to 8st while at uni so compared to that I did feel a lot bigger. So, I am GLAD I went to 12st3lb because it's made me realise how awful I looked back at the smallest weight and appreciate having curves! I never want to be that small again - I was so bony and tired all the time. So though I want to shift a bit more weight, I will never be that thin again - thank goodness!!!
21st birthday at 8st (ish) [my hair was short then but the day before I was scalped which did NOT help]
A little heavier at about 8st7lb, but still (looking back) too thin
At my heaviest at 12st3lb (just before my 25th birthday)
Again at my heaviest before I started SW - July 2008
Me 3 weeks ago at 11st1lb ish
P.S Even thinking 9st7lb might be too low a target so will stop at a good weight - maybe around 10st (after thinking this over)
