Hooray! These pictures make me feel so happy. I earned every single one of those inches I’ve shed! I’ve been working with a personal trainer, and sometimes when she has me kneeling on the bench doing rows I see sweat dripping off my forehead and pooling on the floor (literally) and I find myself wanting to work even harder because that sweat means changes are happening. I’m earning the body I want and it feels GREAT!

25 pounds down (151.6 lbs this morning), I went from wearing a size 16 in jeans to between an 8-10 (it varies with every brand I swear!). My goal is to be slipping into size 4 jeans sometime next year!

I love love love to see before and after pictures, and find them incredibly motivating, so you’re going to see several different configurations below. If you’re new to That Wife, you can read about my start on the Healthy Train, my own challenge called That Weight Loss Challenge (and yes, there will be a part II starting up in the next few months), and a detailed explanation of how I’ve lost all this weight (largely through running).

January 14th (183 pounds) versus August 27th

January 25th (178 lbs) versus August 27th

January 29th (177 lbs) versus August 27th

I decided to take some more pictures in a “goal outfit” around the halfway point so I could physically feel the difference. Another 5 lbs and these pants are going to be too small!

March 30th (163.2 lbs) versus August 27th

And now, I present you with my next “goal outfit”. When I got these pants done up That Husband was worried they would split open! I was really testing the limits of that seam in back. I’m hoping to fit into these comfortably by Christmas.

August 27th, 2011 (153 lbs)

If you’ll remember my goal was “Skinny By Europe”.
