Healthy Choices = Healthy Life

This is the blog you have all been waiting anxiously for. Oh yeah, I'm posting before and after pictures. I finally reached my goal weight and am beyond excited about it. I found out when I weighed at the doctor's office last Thursday. I had lost seven pounds in a week and a half...oops. I know that isn't exactly healthy and it wasn't intended, but it sent me over the edge! I am also going to post my weights and BMI's. That's a little scary, but I feel like you all deserve it. You've been good friends to me here in Bloggerland and since I am completely honest about the most intimate part of my life, I might as well be in this area, also.

March 2007:

Starting Weight: 230 (This is an estimate. I didn't start weighing until I had been becoming healthy for a few months. I had lost 3 sizes by that time and weighed 200. I am going by the fact that each size is around 10-15 pounds. So, this number could be a give or take.)

Starting BMI: 33.9 (This is based on the estimated weight so it is also estimated.)

July 2008:

Current Weight: 158 (I am going to go ahead and lose 8 more pounds to make it an even 150. I can stand to lose some more since I'm definitely not looking emaciated)

Current BMI: 23.3

March 2007, Before Picture:
July 2008, After Picture:

Do you see the awful tan lines on my legs? It looks like I'm wearing socks or that I have tan leggings on (and that's a style I never got into and wish would just go back to the eighties). It's really just a product of my daily walks.

Stay cool and be healthy Blogger Buddies!

    Visiting via "i believe in miracle's" blog...and all I can say is Wow! I'm speechless! It looks like your hard work and dedication have been amazingly successful. I think I'd have a hard time believing it's the same person in the two pictures if they weren't taken in the same location. Congrats to you!:)

    I like Russ's blog-comment-flirting! I'm going to give him grief about that! You do look great though... I'm going to have to get to work because I don't want to be the fat sister (just kidding... sort of :-)

    You look great! Were you on weight watchers or something like that? How tall are you?

    I still have 30 more lbs before I hit my goal weight. I have lost 38 so far. I think fertility drugs are working against me.

    I love your blog. Mine is at www.angryinfertile.blogspot.com

    Good luck on this cycle...
