PICTURES!!! Finally!!!!

Hi guys...so my husband and I finally got a chance to take some pix...it was a gorgeous day today so we went out and had some family fun with our 2-year old! We just got home about an hour ago and took the following pics.

A few things...


You will notice that I've changed my outfit...I wanted something different and new and SMALLER :))...I will use the original outfit in my final pics which I will take in December. But for now, I've changed it and who knows, I may get a new outfit with each new pic...we'll see. Anyway, this outfit is SIZE L for Large y'All!!! Not, 3x or 2x or even XL...it's L - LARGE. I love it...I kept it similar to the colours of the other outfit. Here's a couple of pictures showing the size I am now wearing.




Top - L/G...Large/Grand (en framçais) YEAH!!











Pants - L/G...Large/Grand
A pair of size 'L' pants fit over my butt!! Incredible!






I noticed a few things with these pics and with me overall. First of all, those "Lagana Lunges & Squats" have really started to shape my butt. Now I know that we black women have been "blessed" with having a little extra junk in the trunk, but for some reason, it skipped me - if you look at my 'before' pic from December (Back Shot), you'll notice the bootie wasn't as "shapely" as it now is. I'm not sure that I want everyone staring at my bootie but take a look at the pic below of me from the back....LOOK AT MY BUTT!!! LOOK AT IT!! All I have to say is "Lagana Lunges and Squats!!!"
Now for the pics....






Front: Me NOW...201lbs..June 28/09

In my new outfit, I might add
















Me THEN: 258lbs, Dec 2008











Back: Me NOW - 201lbs June 28/09

LAGANA LUNGES & SQUATS!! LOL!!!















Me THEN: 258lbs Dec, 2009


















SIDE: NOW 201lbs June 28/09




















THEN - 258lbs Dec, 2008














This is my "Just for Fun - I think I'm Kinda Hot Shot" lol!!













THAT's IT!! Let me know what you think!

First, I'm loving the Michael mix! I just created a new MJ workout playlist!

And awesome progress! Nothing like pictures to confirm your hard work. I never took before pictures, because I was very confident there would be after pictures but now I'm wishing I had.

Keep up the great work!
