Progress pics
These are actually my progress pictures from this past Monday, April 12, 2010. I know you guys are tired of seeing me in my underwear/bra. I am just NOT a shopper. I will go get a bathing suit for my upcoming beach vacation in the near future, I promise. It will be at some point before I leave town but for now this will just have to do. I mean there really isn't much difference in a bikini and your underwear/bra anyway, right?
The scale on the day these pictures were taken says 135.6. My lowest weight I have seen is 134 flat. Still nothing lower. I am working through that though and just keeping on keeping on. As I have said before I can't let the scale be the determining factor of my success and you shouldn't either. PLEASE remember that if you are on the path to less fat, the scale is ONE VERY SMALL measure of your progress.
I don't really look like a bikini competitor yet (not sure if I ever will) but I look DAMN GOOD FOR ME that is for sure. Check out my legs... I LOVE MY LEGS!! That is my best feature by far. Maybe during the competition I can put lots of sparkly things on them or something so you are just automatically drawn to them and don't notice the rest of me as much. Hmmmm.

You look wonderful Dawn - you have made such wonderful changes and progress and I am in awe of you!
I linked into your blog from another one - not exactly sure which one. First of all - major kudos to you on a SIZE 4! That is a major accomplishment. I too, was a size 20 pants/3XL shirts and I know exactly the feeling you had when you slipped on those 4's and they fit perfectly! My goal is to get down to a size 10 , currently a 14. I look to your blog for that extra boost of motivation. Wishing you all the best in your journey to the stage :)
