Progress Pictures
I’ve been on this journey for a long time. But slow and steady wins the race. Here are my progress pictures as I change my lifestyle bit by bit.
The first picture is what began it all. I’d just had my son a few months prior and had actually gained weight instead of losing it. I was 225 in this picture. I remember looking back and say “I just didn’t know I was this big”. I knew that I wasn’t skinny or even regular size…but I’d never considered myself fat.
It was quite depressing and I hated myself.I knew I had to do something.
I begin a plan of action and started taking monthly pictures to document my weight loss. Sometimes even though the scale never moved, I could see a difference in the pictures. I will add new progress pictures on occasion.

I think it’s a great idea to take the photos to measure progress. I guess I need to have my son take some photos of me!
Great progress. Thanks so much for creating this site (and your natural hair one) and sharing your experiences. This is inspirational.
Your weight loss is very inspiring! I am on that journey too, but I just started on in December. So far I have lost 4 pounds. I need to keep a pictorial journal like you.
You are doing very well for yourself. I have decided 2010 is the year of ME! I am always giving to and doing for others and in the process have lost sight of myself. I am training for a half-marathon on April 11, 2010. I am so excited and I cannot wait to watch my body transform. Keep up the good work!!
Wonderful progress!!!! You’ve done amazingly well!!!!!
Oh girl! You’re doing great. Last year I lost about 60lbs and the only thing I really changed was my exercise habit and cut back on sweets (my BIGGEST problem). Unfortunately, I gradually started back with the sweets and cut back on the exercise and I’m sure I’ve gained about 30lbs. I’m really trying to motivate myself to start up again. Although NewlyNatural is my all time favorite blog, I’ll be following this as well. I know I can do this.
Girl you are doing Great!!!
