I'm down 22 pounds!

I had my son almost 2.5 years ago, but due to some medical issues in the past year I have been struggling to take all the weight I gained off.  I have lost a total of 37 pounds since my son was born, but most recently I have lost 22 of those pounds since August 2011.  My husband and I are both doing the South Beach Diet and it is really working for us.  Basically lots of veggies with lean protein like chicken and turkey.  So, I was browsing my blog pictures and I noticed that my face looks thinner.  Check out these two pictures.  The left picture (purple print shirt) is from my one month anniversary back on September 7, 2011 and the right picture (white shirt) was just taken a couple of days ago December 2, 2011.  If you look closely at my chin, neck and cheeks you can see the weight difference.  To me this is really cool and helps focus me to get through the holiday season with my eyes on the prize.  Until next time...



Blessings!

    @Krys the south beach diet is hard if you love things with sugar (sweets and cakes), white potatoes, white rice, pasta, and white bread. If you can change your tastes to sweet potatoes (yams), whole wheat bread and paste, and brown rice then it's just the sweets you have to battle.
