More weight loss pics

So, I'm down a bit more, official weigh in will be Friday, but tentatively, it looks like 60 pounds down. The pink shirt that I'm wearing today is loose and baggy, it used to be tight and very unflattering. The arms used to cut into my arms and leave marks, due to the elastic in them. I'm not sure that it looks like that much of a difference in the photos, but I notice that my pants are getting looser. Obviously, I'm wearing jeans in the first photo and pants in the second, I probably should have worn the same thing. ;)

Weight loss

Due to some allergies that Charlotte has, I've eliminated a lot of food from my diet. It started with just dairy and soy, expanded to wheat and finally to peanuts. And then the big whammy - the TED (total elimination diet) - where I ate chicken, veggies (minus peas) and fruit (minus berries). I did dairy/soy from about the time Charlie was about a month. I did the TED for about three weeks, and last week added beef and tomatoes back. It has been challenging. The upside is that the weight just falls right off. I'm 52 pounds down since I delivered. Here are a few photos I've pulled together.

I wasn't pregnant here, this was summer 2009, at my top weight. I was, however, one pound from this weight while pregnant.


Then in the spring of 2010, I went and lost some weight. I think it was roughly about 10-15 pounds more than today.


Around Christmas, please remember I was pregnant - due 2/2, so pretty far along. But, I put it in so you can see my legs and my arms on the other picture, the sleeves kept bunching up as they'd gotten too tight on my arms.
