I must first add that this forum has been the best thing that happened to me. I got support that I didnt get just by logging in here. I am happy with my result so far and am taking it slow nowadays.
This is my In Between. I plan to post an In Between when I reach 110KG but what the heck! I just post it now and will update when I reach 100KG.
Ok, the before picture shown below is me at my most heaviest. This is around 20 days after giving birth to my 4th child. I was 138-140KG (aprox 308 lbs). Im not that sure. This is picture was taken by my husband on his cellphone. He wanted to show me how big I had become. Well, it worked, the moment I saw it, at first I didnt want to look at it. I was horrified at the sight. After completing 40 days post delivery, I looked at the photo again and started my journey towards weight loss. I didnt want to be where I was and I didnt want to stay there or be bigger anymore. It was an emotional roller coaster right from the start. I must admit, it is not an easy ride and I had a lot of obstacles initially, but after the results, suddenly, things become much easier and all the skeptics in my life became followers.
Im really am tired of being depressed and especially tired of being mistaken of my husband's mother ( it happened once!) and its very very embarassing. When I look around me at that time, I saw so many fat wifes that were married to skinny husbands (although my husband is NOT skinny but generally, men do look younger than woman right? More, my husband IS younger than me) and they really look like their husband's mother, ironically, thats what I must say, people could have seen me as also.
Just look at my old man sitting beside me, he looked 1/3 of me! My greatest fear is to hear someone say to my dad, " Is this your wife?!" LOL!!! Lucky for me, that didnt happended or I would just let the ground swalow me full. Id rather that happened. LOL!!
Im 1.78 m BTW around 5"10?

Shown here in my old pants. I had these made a couple of years back, it comes with a matching jacket, I need it for attending seminars and forums, however, it was made ver tight then, I felt uncomfortable wearing them and after a couple of months, I couldnt anymore. By the time it was one year later, I couldnt even put one leg into the pants. It wouldnt go up past the knee. Now, the pants are too loose for me, I actually wear it below the waist. I will have it altered but figured I should wait a couple more months and see how it goes. Ive hit a platue now but thank god, my thighs are getting smaller even though my weight dont change. Its still at 117KG.
I did it with exercise and healthy calories not more than 1500.
Thank you for visiting and good luck everyone! Your comments and encouragements are greatly appreciated!!
