Before and Afters

Sunrise1028 · July 2012

Since we all are working so hard and I was inspired by Joe&cassie's request, I would love to see before and afters of everyone. I couldn't quite figure out how to load photos on theknot, so I made a quick google site to share with everyone, check it out

Renee -- Before and After

Lobsters25 · July 2012

wow sunrise - you look gorgeous, and like a whole new person!

Sunrise1028 · July 2012

Thank you so much!! Lots of hard work and sweat ... totally worth it

That's what I said!

I don't have an after picture because I'm not anywhere near. Maybe we could make this a sticky so we can keep this going?

anna.oskar · July 2012

My before and current-ish is here: http://kickmeiamfat.blogspot.com/2012/05/before-and-current.html

I won't take another pic until I hit a big milestone.

ZeroOrchestra · July 2012

Here are the links for my wedding before and afters from last year. I'll have current ones next week when the challenge is over. I'm currently 5 pounds from wedding weight, stupid post wedding laziness. I have only TK mobile so I can't PIP, sorry! 1. http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x334/queenjane1023/71.jpg 2. http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x334/queenjane1023/81.jpg 3. http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x334/queenjane1023/61.jpg

Lobsters25 · July 2012

boo zero, I can't see your links

anna, still always impressed by your pictures!

I like the idea of making it a sticky - but how about treating this like a checkin, too? Many on here seem to be still toning if not losing, and many are just starting, so 'before and during' could be just as fun as 'before and after.'

I'll probably take these down again at some point (if I remember) because I hate looking at my 'befores.' I took them off of my webshots to try to keep some of my personal info out...

Before-2004:

I love the idea of before and currents! That is definitely more where I am ... I have a goal of losing another 50 ... by my 30th birthday.

We are a bunch of super fabulous ladies!! Go us!! Woot woot!!

[Deleted User] · July 2012

Awesome, you look great!

dawnp917 · July 2012

Wow very impressive ladies. I need to dig up some photos of me.

souptin · July 2012

Oh my goodness! You guys posting these photos is SO inspirational! You all are amazing!

aro1589 · July 2012

let's see if I can figure out how to do this

March 2011. ok pardon the facial expression. I was [clearly] very drunk. this is a terrible picture of me for SO many reasons.

January 2011. another terrible [drunken] picture! I swear I do more than booze. I picked the "fattest" pictures of myself and they just happen to both be ones where I was drinking haha!

And after (30 POUNDS LIGHTER!) April 2012

I feel like you can really tell in my face. I still have a tummy though - trying to shed maybe another 15 lbs by the wedding. maybe!

Lobsters25 · July 2012

Aro, you look great! These before and afters are so awesome

aro1589 · July 2012

thank you, lobster!! It took over a year to get 30 pounds off but I feel so much better about myself. they say the longer it takes to lose, the better chances of it staying off.

skurtz04 · July 2012

You ladies are an inspiration! Great job on all of your hard work over the years!

helleb · July 2012

You ladies are so beautiful! It is AMAZING seeing this, I'm tearing up I am so excited for you and me! Me because I am seeing real women make GREAT change and I now have more hope! Thank you!

ChellaTims · July 2012

Wow you ladies really are an inspiration! I don't have any pictures on my computer here at work but I'll try to post some one I get home I have any there either. I've lost about 17 in the last month and 5 days! I just need to exercise a lot more than I do and you ladies have inspired me to do that!

Sunrise1028 · July 2012

Aro -- you look great and your hair is gorgeous!

Helleb -- your post made me tear up! We are all here for you to provide motivation to each other.

aro1589 · July 2012

thank you, sunrise! you're too sweet! I love my hair

) (and I love when people compliment me on it haha)

LauraAH707 · July 2012

All of you look wonderful! Here's mine

August, 2011

July, 2012

Edit: The second picture is also my outfit for engagement photos in a few weeks!

Lobsters25 · July 2012

laura you look great, and I love the outfit!

helleb · July 2012

Sunrise--- Thank you for the inspiration and support! I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful group with such a wonderful mission

ps love the ring! Everytime I see you post I think that so its about time I told you!

Laura--- You look fantastic! ps where did you get the top?? lol inquiring minds need to know!

LauraAH707 · July 2012

Thanks Helleb and Lobsters! It's a Banana Republic shirt

firsttimersluck · July 2012

holymoly you ladies look awesome

Mine aren't as drastic.. for me it was more just losing some fat and muscling up

This is a little over a year ago..

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/FirstTimersLuck/Engagement/IMG_48921.jpg

I guess this is a decent picture of the change in leg muscle..

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/FirstTimersLuck/382008_10150368648443089_1040711441_n.jpg

Crap.. I just realized I have been a slacker with picture taking.. lol.. That pic is from earlier this year at a party.

The difference between the two photos is about a 4% body fat change

Lobsters25 · July 2012

firsttimers, that's awesome and you look great! I feel like what you did is where I'm trying to get next - any tips now that my goals have changed?

firsttimersluck · July 2012

Thanks lobs! I had been doing a lot of cardio in the first picture, but I wasn't a clean eater at that time. I've only been a clean eater for about a year now. i think that that had a HUGE impact.

I also wasn't lifting at all before, and since adding in lifting, I feel amaaazing, and everything just.. tightened up. It's crazy noticeable in my arms and tummy as well... but I don't really have a great shot of those besides my boudoir photos... but I wouldn't have much of a "before" shot

Lobsters25 · July 2012

Thanks firsttimers. I've cut out a lot of processed foods, but started to slowly let them creep back in lately. I think I'll have an easy time with it in the fall - so I'll have to try to recommit to it!

firsttimersluck · July 2012

oh i feel ya.. switching to vegan has made it reeeeally difficult to NOT have processed stuff.. so strange.. You would think it would be the opposite. And fall is my worst time because it's my favorite season

) haha
