This is a progression of my weight loss, going back to 2007 before I joined Weight Watchers. I still cringe when I look at some of these older photographs. Happily, they now serve as a motivation to continue with my fitness and nutrition efforts.

2007 was when my weight crept up to an all-time high. At a family wedding in 2007, my mother-in-law wondered if I might be pregnant. A few months later (when I was wearing this same outfit), someone else asked if I had some "news" to share. I still have this outfit hanging in my closet as a reminder of where I was and how far I've come.

This photo was taken just weeks before I started Weight Watchers, so I must have been around 190 at the time. I still have the same sweatshirt and I'm amazed by how it just hangs on me now. This photo also demonstrates how I was making less-than-healthy food choices - I'm cooking cheese ravioli for dinner. Typically, I would make an entire bag of frozen ravioli and my husband and I would eat it all for dinner (perhaps along with a loaf of garlic bread).
What a difference! |
