Before/After

Week Two of the Fit Club results are out--and I posted 24 points last week, which rocked. But, so did Becca, my sister in law, so she is STILL 9 points ahead of me and in the lead! Since the difference between 1st and 2nd place is about a $100, I'm determined to whittle away at her lead!!

I was looking through my photos and I thought I'd post a few of the more interesting before/after shots for ya'll.


On the left is me and Jacky at the Law School Prom in 2003. I think I was even down about 50 pounds from my highest weight here. On the right is me and Jacky on her birthday party night last week. Probably at least a 100 pound difference between the two.


On the left is me on my cruise in October 2004. I'm about 310 here--20 pounds less than my highest weight. I remember this day was all walking through ruins in 100 degree heat--I was NOT a happy camper that night--my feet were killing me and I was so hot (and not in the cute way either!!) On the right is me today. I'm at 198...and where size 18 pants and a XXL sweater. What I love about this is that I'm posing in front of my "Impossible is Nothing" poster in my office, and I really feel like I am living that statement!


I went shopping this weekend and was able to fit into all size 14 skirts, but size 18 pants. I was so disgusted with the state of my big, baggy stomach and batwing thighs, I didn't buy anything (but workout clothes). When I talked to Jacky about it the next day--she confessed that her jeans were two sizes larger than her skirt sizes as well. I guess because I've never really been able to wear "regular" sized clothes, I had no idea that skinny/normal sized people had the same size issues we do! I sorta feel like I need to get the Girl's Guidebook to Shopping in Normal Size Stores Where Your Sizes May Vary Four Sizes Due to Vanity Sizing and Weird-o French Labelling. So, someone get on writing that book, mmmkay? Thanks!
