Last year vs This year! Comparison pics!

I was looking through some pictures the other day and found my "before" pictures from when I started this blog almost one year ago! Click here if you wanna read it! I then compared them to the pictures I took for the "Biggest Loser" Challenge and although I am nowhere near where I want to be - I was surprised at the difference!

My measurements from 7 November 2008

Waist: 37inch
Hips: 48 inch


I took my measurements on 24 October 2009 and are as follows:

Waist: 33 inch
Hips: 44 inch

I took more measurements but I don't have a comparison from last year! But yay, a total of 8 inches just from those 2 measurements!! Imagine what I could have lost by now if I hadn't gone up and down all year! But hey, imagine if I just gave up! I would probably have a 40 inch waist if I had given up -thank god I stuck this thing out!

So here are my pictures!
BEFORE - November 2008


DURING!! September 2009


This week hasn't been as good diet or exercise wise. I have been off work this week (vacation time!) and because I have been out of my routine, I have been snacking way too much - I forgot to post my weigh in result from the weekend! I was down to 172.8lbs! So close to the 170....... I hope I haven't gained too much when I weigh in this weekend!

Speaking of the weekend - we are going to the Roller Derby!! The Glasgow Roller Girls in Carrie on Skating!! I can't wait - I would love to try Roller Derby - it would be so cool! I will take some pics and post them at the weekend!

I so need to catch up with my blog reading - I am WAYYYY behind!

  3. You have made BIG changes! CONGRATS!

    I like your attitude. I have been thinking the same way lately. I know I am not where I WANT to be or where I COULD be but I am still moving in the right direction...and that is what matters. We are persistent.

    GOOD JOB!

  11. I live in Clare, in the southwest of Ireland. Where in Scotland are you? I didn't realise we were so close, that's really neat!

    I just saw on your profile that you like Toby Keith- he is my favorite singer ever. I'm a country girl.
