BJ's Pics

[BJ]

I keep putting off starting a before and during thread so I thought I would go ahead and just start this to motivate me.

My hold up is taking the time to find an older picture of me when I was heavier.

i am patiently waiting

when i had lost weight before, the first time on atkins, i found that pics really helped me. Good luck.

[BJ]

Thanks, loimve. Nice to "see" you!

Okay, so here they are:

Below is me in 2000 which is probaby at or near my heaviest weight: 155 lbs.



Now this is me in April 2004 at 132 lbs.


And this is me now:

Thanks, I think the Pilates did almost as much for my shape as the weight loss. Not that I'm minimizing the importance of weight loss.

You look great, now we can see how far you've come. Keep up the good work. thumb What is your goal? It looks like you shouldn't have very much farther to go, you already look thin.

BJ,

You really do look incredible.. It seems like you are built a lot like I am.. broad through the shoulders and chest,, with narrow hips... I know you say it is the Pilates,, and that probably really did help.. but you look great no matter what it was, regardless of whether it was the exercise, your build or the weight loss...

Keep up the fantastic work.. cuz girl,, you got it going on!!!

jakbsmomy, my goal is 120 or 125. I just really want to get this tummy reduced.

Yep, broad chest. :wink: I take after my dad's side of the family.

Ev, I know you've done a lot of exercise. Can you recommend something that will target my tummy?

Thank you! I remember when Ben and I first started in the ministry. I was always trying to make myself look older. Now I just try to be me. I'm more comfortable with my self and I think that make people more comfortable with me.

That's my oldest son. I think he's great looking too especially when he smiles like that. He's so much like me in personality. We are still very close even though he's 16.

WOW, great pic BJ, you look fantastic! Congratulations!

Thanks, Juliana! Funny how we hate those old pics until we have a new one to show how much we've lost, huh?

Great job!
