The Many Faces of Nettie

Sept 1998 - All of 150 pounds.  Skinny and I didn't know it!

After my wedding I gained 40 pounds.  But in 2001, I lost 28 pounds.  Here I am at 172 pounds

July 2007 - the weight had crept back on. After seeing this picture, I lost 25 pounds of this weight using a very unhealthy 500-calorie-or-less, low-carb, low nutrition diet.  I ended up losing a lot of hair too.  And as soon as I went off of that diet, the weight came right back on.

My son was born in Oct 2008, lost all my pregnancy weight plus some - but work related stress caused me to gain weight, seemingly, overnight.

In 2011, my sisters and I joined Weight Watchers to get our weight off "for good".  Here I am at about 180 pounds.  

April 2012 - Pregnant!!  And excited to meet baby #2!

July 2012 - I gained 26 pregnancy pounds - G weighed a whopping 9 lbs 13 oz!  Needless to say, most of my weight was gone after his birth! And with breastfeeding, I was back in the 190 range and feeling wonderful!!


August 2015 - with the family and not looking so good.
