These are a few of my befre pics.. going back through my albums I realise now I avoided being photographed like the plague. The first two larger pics were taken in April '09, a month before I was banded. The one where I am in purple (above right) was taken in '07. As I said ages ago in a post: I am a classic apple shape. I carry all my weight around my middle.... big boobs and big stomach and with a very round face. (Sorry the pics are all over the place - this programme is a shocker for trying to organise them.. forget side by sides or anything like that.. I had enough trouble getting them in this order!!)
These two pics were taken 10 kilos down. Taken on the 10th of June. These pictures down below are me now.. I can't wait to see what losing the next 20 kilos looks like. Still not perfect by any means - but hey, after four kids and and carrying around a huge amount of weight for such a long time... I can't expect to have a supermodel body.. (which is a good thing, huh lol)
You have definitely lost your belly! What a difference 20 kilos can make. You look fabalisous I am an apple shape too. Carry most of my weight around my shoulders, bust and tummy and any bit of weight shows on my face!
ReplyDeleteOMG...You look absolutely FANTASTIC!!! I can not beleive that is the effect after 20 kgs. You look like you have halved your body size.
ReplyDeleteI am an apple as well, and I often joke that i used to look like a babuska doll about to topple over. The biggest benefit from our body shape losing weight is that our legs look pretty good as soon as our big round stomach starts to shrink.
Keep up the great work! You look amazing. Thanks for sharing piccies.

ReplyDeleteWHOA! Unbelievable1 You look fabulous! Lucky you, still working the boobs! I am most jealous of those skinny thighs! I am a Pear, all the way (used to be hourglass, sigh), and my short legs with giant thighs have always been my worst attribute, even when thinner.
ReplyDeleteBut enough about me, you are doing SO well, I just can't believe it. Thanks for posting these, what a great inspiration you are!
Really well done Cara - you deserve to feel bloody pleased with yourself!! Makes me feel guilty that I haven't posted any up to date photos....
