Fifteen Pounds Later
Well I did it! It happened a few weeks ago but I haven’t gotten around to snapping a picture till tonight. And I looked all over for a good “before” picture but couldn’t really find one. It was well over a year before I hit my goal but at last I hit it. More important is the fact that I feel better:
I started with exercise. When I first began I was hitting our complex’s gym 3 nights a week for 1 hour . Eventually I upped it to 6 nights a week for 45 minutes and added some weight lifting in addition to the cardio. After I’d lost 10 pounds that way I seemed to come to a stand still so then I decided to change my eating habits a little. I don’t know if you could call it a diet since I never changed what I ate, I just changed how much I ate. I still ate three meals a day but cut out snacks in between and drank water when the urge to snack hit. I haven’t exercised much since Christmas because life has been full of sickness and business but somehow with better eating habits I still managed to hit my goal. I hope to get back into an exercise routing soon. I’m just so happy I fit back into all my old clothes!

Wow, Summer! You look fantastic! So healthy and strong. And it’s great that you lost that weight in a healthful way. Congratulations!
P.S. I like your haircut/style better now too. It looks really good layered like that.

You really do look amazing! I’m a little bit jealous!
I really need to work on my commitment problem… I *want* to lose weight (heck, I think I’d be thrilled with 15lbs in a year, at this point), but I can’t convince myself to commit to the work and discipline necessary to do it.
Bravo for your accomplishment!

Awesome! Congrats! You give me hope…I’ve been working out but not eating so well, so I’m gaining and losing the same two pounds.:-P I’m going to work hard so I can do a before and after pic on my personal blog, too.
Thanks for the inspiration!

No one would ever say I was heavy but I’ve definitely put on a pound or two since I got married 10 years ago.
I can’t believe how much 15 pounds looks different on you.
You look sooo much younger.
Congrats!!!

You dedicated soul. After your carrying those 10+ lb. babies, I know this was no easy task. Congrats!!!
Summer, I amazed at how you balance sooo much in your life! :) You are such a great example! I think you’re beautiful in both pictures, but I know the 2nd probably makes you happier! :) Thanks for sharing your life, and helping me want to put mine in order too! You’re great!
You look great, Summer! Congratulations on achieving your goal!
Way to go!
