Post Your PROGRESS PHOTOS! Before-During-After

Postby wendysmiling » Sun Nov 18, 2012 7:08 pm

I'm a visual person and I think it would be great to have one place for people to browse inspriational photos. Whether it's weight loss, better skin, healing of a condition, etc.

Here's one of mine:
Dec 2008 & Feb 2012

When I was dignosed with an autoimmune disease called eosinipohilic esophagitis earlier this year, my diet became very limited. I can no longer eat soy (or any legume except for green peas and snow peas), nuts, nightshade vegetables (no white potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant or peppers), mushrooms, citrus fruits, bananas or any grain with gluten. A typical day for me would be:

Breakfast: Bowl of microwaved gluten-free grain (oats, quinoa, buckwheat, corn grits, amaranth, brown rice, etc.) and cooked fruit (raisins, peaches or blueberries)
Lunch: Large bowl of steamed mixed vegetables (spinach, 'california-style' vegetables, green beans, brussel sprouts, nutritional yeast) followed by a sweet potato microwaved with a diced apple or pear.
Dinner: Water stir-fried vegetables (cabbage, kale, broccoli, summer squash, carrots, onions and garlic) served over brown rice, millet or quinoa.
Dessert: microwaved winter squash cooked with pineapple or peaches or mango.

For spices I use garlic powder, salt, cinnamon, and a product called 'Coconut Aminos' - as a substitute for soy sauce in my stir-fry.

Simple, basic whole foods.

The "before" was taken at my daughter's graduation 05/09: 260 lbs-my all time highest weight. The "after" was 03/12: 160lbs.= 100lbs lost!

Image

This was taken July 2012: 150 lbs. I don't have a more recent picture, but may take some at Christmas time.
