Before and After : Weight Loss Photos

It’s inspiring to see before and after photos of people who have lost weight. Take for instance Five stars who went to fat and back like Janet Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Anna Nicole Smith, Nicole Richie and Jared Leto. Janet lost a whopping 70 pounds:

Janet’s secret is not lipo, not starvation, not gastric bypass. A few months back, Janet signed up for a healthy gourmet delivery service called Fresh Dining, a company that is becoming Hollywood’s new thing.

There’s a similar service in Makati that prepares the [tag]Southbeach diet[/tag] and delivers it to your house. I know of a couple who ordered this diet plan. It cost them 20,000 pesos (roughly $400) every 15 days. God, it’s way too expensive. The result. They didn’t lose weight and I think even gained some poundage. So much for Southbeach diet.

My weight management plan was based on South Beach diet which I prepared by myself. Nothing fancy or expensive. It worked combined with daily exercise at the gym. At the age of 48 years old and afflicted with diabetes, I ‘ve achieved a [tag]weight loss[/tag] of of 30 pounds over a period of 4 to 5 months. I have 10 more pounds to lose.

So here’s my before and after pic:

  1. I need to lose weight, there I said it. I'd love to start a weekly motivation group with the goal of documenting our weight loss.

    I was thinking we could do one layout a week with different weight loss topics.

    The first topic is:

    Title Page with a current picture and your current weight and goal weight (you may want to blur these before posting online.) I plan on printing this one and putting it on my bathroom mirror, although the fridge would be a better place!

    Who else is on board with me???

    A couple more things, we need to figure out a night for a weekly motivation chat AND I'd love to have a nifty little name for us like:
    PAW- Pound a Week
    CHEESE- Choose Health Exercise Eating Sensible Everyday

    I'm sure you can come up with something better!

  2. Hello! congratz for the webby awards.. i was one of those who witnessed the night you received your award.. when i saw your 2004 picture you posted above, i think i didn’t see any of that in the person i saw that webby award night.. wow!!! more congratz on losing weight..

    i am also struggling to lose weight.. i have been looking around for a Pinoy version of SBD. how did you do it?

  3. Hi Noemi! Thanks for posting your pre and post photos, very inspiring! I’m not quite 40 yet, but weight loss has become my struggle since having kids (10 years na). If you can do it, i can too.
    You look fab now, btw!

  4. that’s awesome. I would kill to lose that much weight. I’ve lost 40 lbs. before. only to see it double after I stopped going to the gym and discovered the love of carbs again. I kid you not, carbs are the devil!

    congrats on the webby awards. i’m one of your silent stalkers.

  5. Really inspiring. Im following Atkins diet, and hope to see results after this summer, creating a blog like yours could be a good idea to keep on focus..

  6. Awesome job losing weight, you look great in that after photo! =) The celebrities have it easy with all their money, I’d love to have a live in personal chef or have healthy meals delivered to my door. However, I have recently cleaned up my diet and incorporated a regular exercise routine at least 3 times a week for at least 20 minute sessions. I’ve cut a lot of high sugar foods out of my diet and given up the soda which in itself made a huge difference! Keep up the good work, your progress is very motivating for me!
