KimRaye's Before and During Pictures!!!!

[tiggerlover]

Hi everyone! I have been after Kim to get some before and during pictures posted, but she has had some difficulty in getting them on the DIS. So I conviced her to email them to me so that I can share her wonderful progress with you all.

Congratulations, Kim, on your success to date, you have done a wonderful job and it shows from your pictures. The first picture includes fellow DISer (mamajoan) and Kim taken in August 2003, 5 months before Kim started WW. The second picture was taken in July 2004, after Kim had been on WW for 6 months. I am not sure what Kim's weight loss is from picture one to two, Kim, you will have to update us, but I know to date that Kim has lost 60 pounds!!! Woo hoo hoo, Kim. YOU ROCK!!!!

I'm so proud of you. And you look younger to boot!!

Now, we need to get you a sweatshirt to replace that Cub one, maybe a St. Louis Cardinals sweatshirt??? Heehee .....just kidding.(my DH's family originally from Lancaster County, Pa., move to upstate NY, but have always been Cardinal fans...........how does that work anyway?? )

Great job Kim! So nice to put a name to a face (or is it face to a name ) I hope I'll be able to post my before and after pictures soon. Keep up the great work!!!!

60 less pounds looks on you! You go girl - you are doing a great job - I 2nd the "pictures" really give me the inspiration!!!


CONGRATS to YOU and thanks for sharing

 

[KimRaye]

OH MY! You're all too kind! And Debbi, you are especially kind (or sadistic? ) for pushing me to get these to you!

I had lost 52.5 lbs from pic 1 to pic 2. I've lost another 7 since then, not much difference.

Mom of SBB, I'll take you up on the new sweatshirt, but NO WAY to the Cards!

Personal note: When mamajoan was in town last August for that Cubs game, she also took me shopping for all new clothes to start my new job. We went to Dress Barn, the ladies size side, and I bought mostly 1X, some 22's, and 1 2X. It cost me over $300. This July/August, I took myself shopping for new clothes for work, and I bought 12's and mediums. It cost me under $100! Just another benefit to losing almost 60 lbs, SO FAR!

Public apology is also necessary for the lousy pictures I sent Debbi. I need to ask my family for pictures that THEY have taken. I only have 3 pictures of myself from the last year. Time to get in FRONT of the camera, I think.

Thank you all again! If not for all of you here at WISH, I'm not sure I would've made it this far! You've been my Blessing.

Onward and Downward!!!!

[CookieGVB]

Good for you! Great pictures!!

 

[Hollyann]

Ooh, Kim - nice pics! How wonderful to put a face to a name! I love the public apology! You're just like I am, I know what I look like, so I seldom stand infront of a camera. Your weight loss is quite an inspiration - keep up the good work!

Many thanks, Debbi for posting them - I also noticed your pictures on the CB from the meet - you're looking good, too - girlfriend! Glad you're back with us!

Great Job!!!

It's so nice to see pictures because it gives all of us something tangible.

Bet you feel better too!!!

 

[Cruisin]

Looking good Kim!!!!!!!!!

It was great talking to you last week!!!!

Nice to see a picture of mamajoan too.

 

[KimRaye]

Thank you all. It's very nice of you all to be so kind, given those awful pictures.

I should mention that the 'during' picture was taken by my 6yo DD, as I exited the bathroom! Therefore, the expression on my face.

Thanks again!
