25 lbs in 6 months!
For those of you who have been rooting me on with my weight loss the journey has been an amazing one. I am so happy that I have finally found what works for me and now I am able to live a lifestyle that I can hang with. Gosh I wish I would have done Weight Watchers years ago! But better late than never. I shudder to think how I would be feeling now if not for all the health benefits I have had with this loss. I have to say that most of the three biggies for me were gone by week 2! That to me is insane. It tells me how much what I had was definitely diet- related. I was suffering from heartburn from not just spicy food but from anything I ate. I also dealt with sleep apnea that seemed to be connected with acid reflux. All three of those kept me really sick. Plus I also had flare ups of fibromyalgia that just rounded it all off with overall body pain. I knew I couldnt go through another wedding season like that so after our last wedding of 07 I decided to do something. In Jan. I made up my mind to try Weight Watchers. I believe that decision saved my life. I am ecstatic that I have lost approx. a pound a week and it has added up to just over 25 lbs now but that my health is sooo much better! This year the weddings are not taking so much of a toll on me. Except when it is really hot. That is one area diet isnt probably going to change for me! lol….but having less weight does make it more bearable. I am a happy camper and just had to share with you all my exciting news. This isnt the best pic but I wanted to get something up. I’m headed for my next goal and will post up a better picture then.
Dane and Stephainie’s After Wedding Album is done!
Before Mark posts up our 1st wedding of the year slideshow I wanted to post up the last album design from our last wedding of 07. Very excited about it since the purchase of our new album design software. Now I can do the entire album without Marks help in photoshop. Yes, I feel such a sense of accomplishment when I get to say I did the album entirely without Mark’s help…

That’s not an easy thing to have accomplished. Good for you to put the work into it. Your pictures are stunning as always
I am so proud of you skinny! Wish I could say the same..although I have maintained..going to work on it in the summer!! I need to loose 20-25 to be at goal. I did email Robin and she has that Friday evening free..so i am thinking of driving up that day…I am not sure where ya all live..how far is it from the south Bay area? I am staying in Redwood City…will I need to book a hotel up there??? Let me know so I can do that. I leave Saturday night..late…so this would work perfect for me…
Love ya and can’t wait to see you!!!! Charlotte
@portiajules - Oh I was planning to get back to you on all that today since I just finished checking in with Robin last night. Here is what is happening on this end and I hope you will enjoy yourself while you are here!
We are having a “spa experience” on Friday night and you can hang with us. Its a girly night but I think Mark may crash it. Forget about a hotel room you can stay with us.
Lets see…Redwood City to here will be about 2.5 hrs. We used to live there! That is where we lived when we got married. Then we moved to Sacramento. I think that was around ’82.
We do have a wedding that next day. So we will have to be good kids and get a good night sleep but we will have fun! Cant wait!!!!

I am so happy too!! I feel so much healthier and working all day at weddings are not as bad anymore unless of course it is triple digits!
@ShutterbugTim -
Its a discipline that I have had to incorporate into my life. If I look at it any other way I will fail. Its my new life.

Congrats Kerri! I’m trying to lose as well, and I have, as yet, found the discipline. But you have inspired me.
I love the album! Amazing photos and a great layout. :heartbeat:
Kerri, You look fabulous… but you’ve always looked fabulous to me! I’m so happy for you that you’re on a path that is making your life so much more pleasant. Health is #1…. without it… you are so limited. On another note… WOW!!!! I love this book design and the photos are GORGEOUS. I wish all our clients would hire us to do an after the wedding day shoot! It’s so much fun and the photos are always amazing!!!! You guys rock!!!!! Mucho hugs and kisses! ~ Dawn :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat:
