A friend of mine who weighs in with me weekly brought an old picture of me along with her last time... just to remind me of where I've been. Well, instead of posting that picture here, I actually went and found one that had been taken a year before it, when I was at my heaviest ever (when not pregnant) And I just thought I'd share that with you - taken May, 1997:
Then that got me wanting to see the old me compared with the other "old" me - at my thinnest before I had Elan. So, this is me at my lightest ever - taken summer, 2007 (pretty much 10 years after the last one):.JPG)
And then one of me recently:
Most of that weight was originally lost on the Weigh Down Diet - and then I got pregnant with William. After that I went with Weight Watchers. I find it interesting how the weight has distributed itself differently over my body over the years. It used to be in my face a lot, and now it is choosing my middle more (since I've had 2 babies). I think I prefer this new way ... :o)
Anyway, this comparison has encouraged me to keep at it... encouragement which I need because of the Christmas season looming. We're having our annual family Christmas decoration party/Christmas season kickoff party this Friday evening - and of course, it comes complete with tons of very anti-weight watcher food. But very yummy food! I'm looking forward to it - gonna try to save all of my bonus points this week for that night.... cheezies, egg nog, ferrero rochers, suprise dip, and appetizers. YUM!

OOOHHHHH!!! Love the new blog layout. You are gorgeous in all three pictures.
Have a good Christmas kickoff party.
hahahahaha!!!! Look at that forest green dress!!!! I remember that horrible dress that I wore and wore after I didn't need to anymore because it was the 'nicest' dress I had and was loose around the middle so I could wear it around my plump body.
You're looking great Colleen! I'm very proud of you.
You are the best in the west. Such encouraging words. Better believe i'll be heading to the "light" eggnog section when i purchase the festive once a year treat.
Still feeling a little dizzy, so i'm staying away.
hey,,,is William going to be in the big Christmas Concert? No practice needed other than Sun morning Dec 7....they are singing Jesus Loves Me.
See you soon. Keep going. You rock.
