Monday, November 24th
The first two images above were taken at the beginning of September 2008 and I had only been on Isagenix for about three weeks so they are a pretty good representation of what I looked like at my heaviest. The third picture is from my trip to San Juan Island with Linda and Yolanda and it's around that same time so again, I'm pretty much my heaviest there. I hate posting them because it goes against the Code of Posting Personal Pictures which has as its number one rule: Only share flattering photos of yourself. However, in the interest of letting it all hang out there, I share these because now I can also share photos that show how I am getting further and further away from THAT every day.
The last photo was taken on November 15th and it shows some definite improvement and weight shedding!
This post has the theme of Changes. Therefore, I will share with you all some of the wonderful things that have changed in my life since I have lost over 20 pounds!
1. I was able to push my car's seat up one notch closer to the wheel!
2. I am down two pant sizes, two shirt sizes, and two bra sizes
3. I can walk up our stairs without getting winded and I can walk up them at a normal pace
4. I can do all the grocery shopping without having to sit down
5. The bed doesn't creak and crack with I get in bed
6. I fit in my seat belt better now...it doesn't dig into my thigh
7. When I smile in the mirror I am beginning to recognize myself
8. When I get out of bed I can just sit up and stand and walk instead of having to sit for awhile and stand slowly and then stumble at first
9. I do not crave caffeine, sweets or fatty foods now incessantly. Yeah, they are still yummy....but I don't want them all the time and I'm not eating them all the time.
10. I can walk down the stairs using both legs instead of holding on to the rail and going down using only one leg
11. I appreciate tea more.
12. I have more energy
13. A big one so I'll all caps it: MY FIBROMYALGIA SYMPTOMS ARE GONE!
14. I'm sleeping better
15. I don't feel so exhausted when I work out now
16. I am fitting into clothes that I could last wear FOUR YEARS AGO!!!
17. Because of the Isagenix products I feel more mentally alert and spunky
18. I feel like I actually want to leave the house because I feel more confident and because I have more energy and because I am not hurting!
19. My knees don't hurt as much anymore!
20. My sacrum and sciatic muscles aren't paining me as much!
So, yay me! Each day is a chance to achieve better health!

That is awesome! Especially the impact it is having on your fibromayalga (I know I didn't spell that right..) I am looking forward to taking you out for some new smaller clothes when I get home! You go girl!
I'm hoping to get back to Weight Watchers soon-- I've been on a committee lately for a communtiy event that meets the same time as the WW meetings. But the event is next week so after that I'm getting back on track! :)
Denise, you are doing fantastic and you are an inspiration. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to watch your transformation!
Ok, do tell-- Isagenix?
It is so evident that your work and dedication are paying off--when I saw you last night you looked great. I can definitely see the changes in your face, shoulders, arms and the evidence is in your baggy clothes! Plus, your skin and hair looked radiant!
Keep it up doll!

Number seven is my favorite! I've gained some weight in the last four years and I'm trying to get it off! As I look through old pics, I wonder where that person went. The more I take care of myself and work-out, the more I start to feel like that person, and see them again!
