I was always a skinny girl. My problem started when I began emotionally eating after my first miscarriage in Feb 2006. Now, after 3 more mc's, I realize I have to make changes. I post these to hold myself accountable to myself, my DH, and my fellow JM members that are struggling to lose weight as well. I am ashamed and so self-conscious.
This was me in Aug 2004 at 150 lbs and the best shape of my life.
This is me in Aug 2005 when I met my DH. I was 165 lbs and not too shabby.
This is me on my wedding day in May 2006. I was about 180-185 lbs. This was 3.5 months after my first mc, when my emotional eating started.
This is me today, at 226 lbs. I am 1 week into my new diet and exercise regime. My starting weight was 230 lbs.
I will post my measurements that my trainer took last week as soon as I see her again. I hope to lose 65 lbs by xmas 2009. I have lost 4 lbs this past week. I have no pictures from last week, but I feel a change already.

weight today:220 lbs.
I was able to push it thru maybe 11 days of lvl 1 30ds before injuring myself at the gym. Since March 9th, I haven't made that much of an effort. I peed on a stick last night and got a BFN so I am restarting my 30ds today. I am seeing a difference, altho small, on my back and stomach. If I can get this thru 11 days, it is more of an incentive to push it for the full 30 days now and see where I can be.
