Roni’s Weight Watchen Page(s) - Take 2 (the rebuild)

I’ve been getting a lot of requests for comparison shots. Here are a few I did quick and I have a couple more I may be adding in the future. Looking back it’s amazing how my weight would go up and down from year to year.

comparison 1 - Sitting

The picture on the left is me at a party in college, summer of 1999. I remember those pants very well I loved them! They were my favorite baggy jeans, a size 14.

In comparison the picture on the right is my at a 4th of July BBQ this year (2006). The thing I love about this picture is my arms. I was always conscious of them but no more!

comparison 2 - Face

The left one was me at my heaviest (nothing to do with pregnancy) This was December of 1999 when graduating with my Masters Degree. The one on the right is my May 2006.

comparison 3 - Family

This is a nice family comparison. The picture on the left is us September 2005. The right is April 2006. That’s only 7 months! I was on a mission. :)

comparison 4 - Body Shot

These pictures were taken exactly 1 year apart. Ever summer we vacation at the shore and on the last day we take a family picture. Well the one of the left is 2005 and the one of the right is 2006.

comparison 5 - Face II

Look at my hair!! I kind of miss the buzz cut. :(
The left is December 1999. I was graduating with my bachelors. I think I was in the 170’s. The right is me at a happy hour with friends January 2007.

comparison 6 - Standing Shot

The left is me in graduate school fall of 2000. Right is me (not smiling for some reason) March 2007.

   You have done so well. I have alot of inches & my face isn’t round any more - it’s thinned out. I should get more pics taken. I had to tighten the lace on my jeans today NSV!

   I am re-starting WW again! I begin tomorrow and I am looking at your page to get motivated again. I went down to 117 pounds by eating all veggies! everyday! ICK! Now I have blown up to 170 eating all junk food! Everything I deprived myself of. Thanks for having the webpage to help motivate others. Im sure I will keep coming back to the page when I wanna eat that whole cake! haha
   thanks again.

   I am getting ready to go to my first WW class tomorrow. I have been thinking and thinking about it, and have been so worried that my willpower will not be there to stop me when theres good food around. I want it more than most anything, but it can be so hard!!! Your website is such an inspiration!!! I’m going to save it and when I feel like giving up, I’m going to come back to these before and after shots and see that I will lose the lbs in time if I keep working hard for it.

    You look great and happy! What a inspiration you are!

    You look like two completely different people in your before/after shots. Did your husband drop a couple lbs. as well? You both look much healthier!

12. on 20 Feb 2007 at 9:23 am12 Shirley

    You look wonderful! How motivating you are!

13. on 10 Mar 2007 at 4:33 pm13 Christina

    WOW!!!! You are such an inspiration!!!

    Wow! You look terrific :) I lost 68 lbs 4 yrs ago and joined the army, over the past year I gained quite a bit back :/ I joined the LA weightloss program and it was rediculously restrictive and I stopped it. I have had a problem with my stomach since I lost all the weight and I paid for a tummy tuck that I am having on the 27 th of this month. Now looking at your photos I am really wondering if that was a bad idea. Maybe I should have attempted to lose alot more weight before this as now I am almost the size you were when you started losing. The surgery cost me double what yours was and if I cancel and reschedule I lose 1/2 my money and I have already scheduled the time off :( I was just wanting to know a bit more about your recovery from the tummy tuck, and just as far as personal advice goes do think it would be worth the money loss to wait? I am so unsure and I really wonder if I should just lose the money join WW and really apply myself as I did before. Just wondering from someone’s perspective who had the surgery how difficult it is to recover from and whether it is a bad idea at this point in your opinion.
    Thanks,
    Amber

    Hi Roni!

    great new comparison pictures! you look wonderful and much younger!

    Every time I start to fall off the weight watchers wagon, and try to talk myself out of doing this, I look at your site and get inspired again!

    thanks!

    Roni,

    Wow! You look fantastic! I recently had a baby (December 2006) and was looking for a site that would help keep me on track. I stumbled across yours and it has really helped me. I weighed myself today and am proud to announce that I have lost 29 pounds in 3 months. Much of it is because I have been keeping up with your site and your success has kept me very motivated to succeed myself.

    Keep up the great work!

    Roni, YOU are my hero.

23. on 25 Mar 2007 at 3:05 pm23 Heather

    I love your most recent pictures! Thanks for the inspiration and motivation to keep going! I have been doing WW since June 30, 2006 and I have only lost 32.1 lbs with a personal mini goal is to lose 40lb by 5/1! I think I can do it with your motivation and inspiration! :) Thanks!

    Wow, Roni you are a hottie!

25. on 02 Apr 2007 at 8:47 pm25 Michelle

    The before and after #6, you look 20years younger, much more energetic and happier. Utterly amazing!

    First ,I have to say that your results are great. I have 3 kids and I am trying very hard to get back to before I ever had kids. At 36 yrs. old, it is difficult. I am back at pre-third-baby weight in 9 months. I have added strength training and running, which is helpping with the whole metabolism slow down. I want to keep going. I couldn’t help noticing ,in your body shot picture, the bruise on your leg. I noticed this because I seem to bruise easily when I diet. Do you know why this happens? Do you take vitamins too?

    You look great! I’m 5′9″ too and will make lifetime at tomorrow’s meeting - at 169 (hoping to eventually be under 160). Your stats make me wonder if I should lose ANOTHER 20-30 pounds. I guess I’ll just see how I feel in the next few months. Congratulations on your progress!

    Roni,

    You have done a wonderful job in such a short period of time. You look amazing and so different now. I have been on WW for more than 18 months (this time around). I have lost 30 lbs so far, but need another 20 to reach goal. You have inspired me to keep going and not give up. Thanks for Sharing your Journey!

    I just gave birth to my second son two and a half months ago. I gained 60 lbs with each pregnancy. I lost all but 10 before I had gotten pregnant again. Now after the initial chunk of weight has come off from doing nothing I have to work on the remaining 35 lbs.

    I’ve been pouring over websites for inspiration. I think yours has really jump started me.

    I have done w.w. 3 times before, succesfully…well till now.
    I’m hoping to open up more time to cook, your recipes look great.

    Thanks again for doing this.
