I did promise I would show pictures – and now I am just over halfway to my target [19lbs lost, 16 to go] I thought I would give you all a giggle.
I get very annoyed with those diet magazines which show ‘before’ in dreadful outfit, hair a mess, no make up – and then ‘after’ in smart dress, fully ‘tarted up’. So for true veracity, here are pictures of myself last year, and then again this year, in almost the same outfit
WARNING!
Persons of a sensitive disposition look away NOW!
I have definitely got a more defined waistline, and less tum and thighs than I had before!
However I do not normally dress like this when I am walking around the village– so here are some pictures of me in ‘regular clothing’ – two from the Fairtrade Fashion Show back in March, and one I took yesterday when I got in from church
Really pleased with the little black dress- originally from Next, but I paid only £3.99 in the charity shop last week. It is a UK size 10 – I was size 14 in the spring.
The Pastor is also losing weight – but I respect him too much to start posting before and after pictures of him in his boxer shorts.
Well done - you look fab! Doesn't it feel great to wear smaller clothes? I know it helped me carry on with the exercise.
ReplyDeleteYou are game! Good for you! you look wonderful, but I'm biased and thought you looked wonderful before xxx
ReplyDeleteWell done. All your hard work has paid off and you can really see the difference. 19lbs is a huge loss. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI think you have done amazingly - and it looks to me as if you have lost weight since I saw you in the summer! And you are very brave to post pictures of yourself in various states of dress and undress - usually I go headless, and keep to the most flattering angles - make sure you are higher than the camera and put your hands on your hips. I bet they do that in the diet magazines!

ReplyDeleteBrave girl! You are looking very much slimmer, and the black dress is so elegant.
ReplyDeleteI like that last photo, you can really see the weight loss on that one. The style suits you as well. Well done, you are braver than me xx
ReplyDeleteYay! Well done you! The photos are fabulous! Cx
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Good for you! You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWell done Angela, and hope all goes well as you move closer to your target. Looking good in the LBD it has to be said! Size 10 indeed...spit! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow Angela!

Ang, you look amazing, truly spectacular actually
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic achievement and very well done. You certainly are an inspiration to all of us who struggle with weight loss. That little black number does you proud, too!
ReplyDeleteWell done. You look great in the LBD. Well done to Bob too, you have both worked hard to achieve such fab reslts.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone - and New World - it isn't a secret - I have managed this simply through the encouragement and support of friends, especially Bob. I have eaten 'GI' foods - but not been too rigid about it, and I have taken up running. Eating less, exercising more. Thank you - ALL OF YOU who have said such helpful and supportive things over the past 4 months.
ReplyDeleteWOW! You look fantastic! Dxxx
ReplyDeleteWow! You look fabulous, Angela. Well done!
