So this is going to be both a Throwback AND Transformation Thursday post! My husband and I got some fall pictures taken and Im so excited to share a few of them with you guys! 😊 Of course I had to make a couple side by sides from the last time we had pictures professionally taken which was December 2012 because the transformation of both my husband & myself is just crazy to me! Its still mind blowing to me that we have lost a total of 175lbs between the two of us. I remember shopping for an outfit for our 2012 pictures like it was yesterday. I wanted SO badly to wear skinny jeans with knee high boots. Unfortunately, after trying on many pairs, I realized my calves were too big to fit in knee high boots (regular OR wide calf) and I wasnt even going to attempt to find skinny jeans in a size 24! So I settled with my Ugg boots and completed my outfit with a scarf in hopes to hide one of many chins..(Clearly that didnt work out the way I had hoped!) I remember telling the photographer I didnt want any full body pictures (and she still managed to get a couple!) and to try to get me at a flattering angle. Ill never forget seeing those pictures for the first time. I hated the way I looked in every single one of them and went to town cropping them all! Things were very different shopping for our photoshoot this time around. I was able to buy not just one pair of knee high boots..but two pairs, skinny jeans and leggings and 3 cute sweaters from non-plus size stores. And the best part about it all was that I actually encouraged our photographer to take full body shots and I wasnt trying to hide behind my husband in every picture! Its amazing what a difference it makes when you feel confident in front of the camera. I absolutely LOVE our pictures this time around and want to order each and every one of them! 😍 (Side note: Our photographer Airica Byler did such a great job! All of our pictures turned out AMAZING. She made our shoot so much fun and we were so comfortable around her! I highly recommend her to anyone in the West Michigan area. If you live in the area & are looking to have some awesome & very reasonably priced pictures taken, check out her website: photographybyairicabyler Mention my name & you will get $25 off your session! 😊 With all that being said, I have a ways to go before I am where Id like to be but Im closer than where I was yesterday! If you start today, this time next year you too can have transformation pictures like these! If I can do it, so can you. We are in this together! YOU control your future. Its going to hurt, its going to feel like you cant anymore, youll want to give up, youll want to cheat, youll want to skip your workouts. All those feelings are normal, youre a human being! Fitness is just like everything else in life, you have to work at it everyday in order to achieve it. Its not easy...but it is attainable. Sweat like a pig to look like a fox! 💪
