I'm Annie. I'm down from 232.6 lbs to 199-200. I want to ultimately get down to 150, and my mini goal is to get to 175 by christmas.



The first two are before, the second two are in between.

Hi Annie. Way to go!!!!! I can't wait to get where you are! You are looking so much slimmer, especially in the face. Looks like you said goodbye to the double chin! I've finally gotten my 3rd chin gone, and now I'm working on my second...

The third picture is my favorite...SOO cute!! Where were you in that picture? It looks like a butterfly garden or something.

Thanks!
I was at longwood gardens in Kennet's square PA, near Wilmington Delaware... It's like the prettiest place ever. It's a huge walk-around garden with a wisteria garden and a rose garden, and they have a conservatory that has like a bajillion rooms and a hibiscus/rose garden indoors and an orchid room... It's seriously my favorite place ever. The 4th picture is there too, in their topiary garden. If you can't tell what that bush is supposed to be, I'm pretty sure it's a dog.

haha! I saw the ears, but just wasn't too sure! I love gardens and for the past couple of years I've been doing some of my own at-home gardening. It's very rewarding to sit back and relax after looking at the hard work that is put into it. I used to go with my grandma when I was little to different gardens and loved them even then. I really want to go to one soon. I wish they had one around here like the one where you are! Who knows..maybe they do and I just don't know about it! Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm so proud of your progress!!!

Longwood is about 3 or 3 1/2 hours away/150ish miles from me. We go there pretty often, we even have a "garden family pass". It's so cool!

You really should check into any gardens that you may have around you, ask around, look it up. So worth it when you find a good one!

Thanks for the support, I was in a bit of a "mood" about not seeing progress on the scale, and your message really cheered me up!

Annie

You look beautiful! You can defitnely tell in your face!

Aww thanks! I had a worse picture of my before, from the beach a couple of years ago, but I couldn't find it on my recently cleared computer. It's a good thing I had just gotten a personal hard drive for my birthday and had backed everything up, otherwise I would have lost all of my photos. (I'm an amateur photographer, but there aren't any pictures of people in my folders! ) but I had some of my dad's photos on there too. I just couldn't find it in my huge collection of pictures. But trust me, it was bad.

I can't believe how big I look in those pictures... I mean, I still look big, but it isn't nearly as bad as in those before photos. How I wish to be rid of my tummy. It's pretty big. I AM GOING TO DO IT, though.

Phew! Sorry for that rant/message, if you read it, thank you!!

I found it!

You look amazing right now, and I just gotta tell you the first thing that came to my mind... you're absolutely adorable!



P.S. I love you're glasses and I want to steal them haha just kidding... or am I?

Haha thanks A lot of people want to steal my glasses, I was hoping I wouldn't get mugged by a jealous friend (haha just kidding )

It really feels great to see all of these people saying how much I've changed, especially when sometimes I can't see it in myself because I see myself every day.



<3 Annie

I know exactly what you mean! that's why I keep my before pictures handy
