In my previous post (https://characterinkblog.com/), I described the weight loss/health journey that I have been on. Below, I am posting pictures and losses. Thanks for joining me!
This is a terrible picture! And it does actually make me look a lot worse than I did (or thought I did)…but here I was six years or so ago (before dancing!) at my highest-ever weight. I won’t tell you what that was…but it was high! Here I wore a size 22 (or 24).
After six years of dancing, I had taken off thirty pounds! This was Spring 2011. Losses: 30 lbs; 25 inches; and 3 sizes (from 22 to 16). This was a month before I began an 800 calorie diet and intensive exercise.
And Fall of 2011. Three months after I began the very low calorie diet with Curves and T-Tapp exercises. Losses since Spring 2011: 35 lbs; 35 inches; 2 sizes (16 to 12). Losses over six years: 65 lbs; 57 inches; 5 sizes (22 to 12).
THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR NEXT
20 TO 25 LB LOSS!!! 🙂
I am working on maintaining my summer loss. It was a quick loss–and could quickly be put back on too. My Curves has pretty much gone by the wayside due to work, school, and family. (With homeschooling and working in the school year, it’s hard to do too many extras.) I have a maintenance plan of lower calorie/carb/fat eating; Daily Dozen exercises; walking with my boys and dancing with my Prince—and after a month of so of maintaining with that plan, I hope to dig back in and lose some more…..regardless, my carbohydrate intolerance/pre-diabetes is under control and I feel young and energetic! 🙂
