I can't thank you guys enough for all your comments on my last post. I know I was being kind of silly but sometimes you just need to give yourself a few hours to feel sorry for yourself, you know? But your comments gave me such a boost, and I'm honestly going to bookmark that page so I can go back and read them whenever I want. :)
Anyway, to cheer myself up after yesterday's disappointing weigh-in, I decided to take a new set of progress pictures. I had kind of been avoiding this because to be honest, I felt like I looked exactly the same as I did in my last set. But a few people who know me in real life but also read my blog have recently pointed that I really should, so, trusting their word, I got Shaun to snap a couple of new ones today.
Original (241 lbs), last one (206 lbs), and today (188 lbs). New camera so the colours and perspective are a bit different, but I think you'll get the idea.
Annnnnnd ... I may not have lost 70 lbs this year, but that doesn't mean I can't do this:
Yes, these are my old pants. Now, yes, they were a tad big on me even when I was originally wearing them (they're a size 24), and they're quite stretchy, and ... oh, why am I qualifying this so much? This picture is fracking awesome and who cares about the rest.

I am SERIOUSLY impressed! Just look at how far you've come. You are such an inspiration...keep up the awesome work :D
Amazing! You are so awesome and inspirational.
You are a freaking ROCK STAR my dear!!! I can totally see the difference between your 206 and 188lbs pics.
Don't worry about not losing 70 in a year. You made one hell of an incrediable lifestyle change and should be soooo proud of yourself. :)
Girl! I am so happy you did these photos! And I really hope that you can see the difference from 206 to now! Cause I sure can! And how awesome is that last photo! I love love love it! Truly an inspiration! Keep it up!
WOW! Holy crap man...that is freakin amazing! WOO HOOO
THE
BEST
PHOTO
EVER!
That picture is awesome! What a huge change! Way to go!
Wow, this may not be politically correct but look how much your thighs used to stick out in front! Everyone holds their extra fat differently, and that's interesting. Anyway, I hope my belly reduces like yours has. Obviously, I don't need to tell you you look great. I was a 24, too, and I'm keeping my jeans. Unfortunately they still kind of fit around the waist :-/
Wowsa's girl what an incredible difference!! You've inspired me to work hard this week :=)
What a great idea to take those pictures! They are a true inspiration. Thank you for taking them and posting them.
YOU FREAKIN ROCK!! Please excuse the caps but I mean it! You are doing an amazing job!
Sometimes I read your blog and it's just so effing inspirational that my eyes get moist. Today's entry is one of those. I know I've told you this many times, but you are such an inspiration, and I am so proud of you.
PS - love the mermaid shot
My gosh, that is awesome!
You're looking so great! Good for you! :)
Holy shit! That's progress!
WOW - amazing progress pics! You are doing awesome. We have very similar stats. I too was very disappointed with WI this week and decided to measure myself and was pleasantly surprised...It just goes to show the scale IS NOT the only measure of our success!! We have pics and tape measures too, lol :o)

These are great pictures, Andrea!! You look fantastic.

Just look at you! INCREDIBLE! CONGRATULATIONS my dear!! WOOHOOO!!!!
I understand your disappointment. And just reading your previous post below I could literally imagine myself writing the exact same post if/when this happens to me. I know it will happen. But ya know what, when you do hit your 70 lbs mark, it won't matter at ALL that it was 1 year + 1 week or 2 or whatever, trust me ;-)
YOU ROCK IT SISTER! ;-)
You are a friggin superstar.
You have stuck with this program and have made INCREDIBLE changes in your habits and in your body. Those pictures speak louder than words my dear.
Keep up the amazing work. You are such an inspiration.
