Well, my before picture was from Aug 2007. I had dropped some weight and felt like I looked pretty good. I like many am embarrassed to show this, but you
know what? We all feel this way at one time or another. I remember being of
Junior High age and getting to go to a church
camp the summer of eight grade. I was one of eleven kids so it was a treat
for me. Guess I was oblivious to the fact that I was 5’4” and a size 14 then
and pretty shy back then so it took a lot for me to even go to the pool what
with the very popular girls strutting their stuff. I remember having this blue
polka dot two piece swimsuit with ruffles that resembled the tankinis this day
and age that I was so proud to be wearing. Went to the pool with a friend
and will never forget the feeling after a boy made fun of the girl that looked
like a polka dot fatty (me). To this day I still feel the sting from that
comment. I remained that size all through high school because I didn’t have
the drive to be slim and healthy. Don’t get me wrong. By no means did I
have hundreds of pounds to lose, but I still struggled daily about my bottom
heavy size. I graduated high school and lost weight to a size 7 by eating no
more than 600 calories a day. Still couldn’t understand why I couldn’t be like
other people and eat what I wanted. I remember feeling terrible daily
because of the lack of food. Then I joined Weight Watchers in 1991 and
exercised everyday with a weight loss of 24 lbs. I spent many, many years
following that of walking, running, teaching aerobic classes, and buying lots
of gadgets in an effort to keep the weight off. Over the years I like many
yoyo’d up and down with my weight. I really can’t remember how I came
along to find Beach Body, but I will honestly say it has made a HUGE
difference in my life. I can't believe I spent all those years doing other things
and never saw the results I have with these workouts. I started with Turbo Jam
and to this day still do it. The
workouts are addictive in a healthy way. I honestly look forward to working
out in WOWY each day. I post on a forum each day because they are so much
fun, helpful, supportive and it’s like they’ve been my best friends forever. My
goal for 2008 was to lose 10 lbs, which I’ve done. The newest challenge was
turning 50 in September last year and I want to always want be
remembered as my "after" and not my "before"! I welcome buddies on TBB (darl2541)and facebook (Darlene Provance)
