how fitting that one of the challenges over at Scrappy Jo's this month was to use the word "JOURNEY" in the title of a layout. As soon as I saw that I knew exactly what I wanted to do. After lots of thought here's what I came up with....
The "before" picture is on Hailee's first day of Kindergarten (yes, 2 years ago, but it's the only one that showed a lot of me!). The other is the picture I took of myself at the 15 pound mark. I haven't taken any lately...guess I should but I don't feel any different so I'm waiting for 30 :) The title is "the start of my weight loss journey". I made sure to use the word start since this is just the beginning for me!
I only glued the sides and bottom of the pattern paper down to the cardstock, leaving the top open for a pocket. Inside the pockets are the 2 blog posts I made about my journey and what I was doing to continue on. I really think it will be great to look back on this as I'm older to see exactly what I did to lose my weight. I also plan on doing another layout when I reach another big goal - either 30lbs or 50...we'll see!

holy mother of god......you have come a long way and i am so proud of you!
hee hee that made me laugh! thank you! you know I couldn't have done it without your support!
Great job on sticking to your weight loss resolutions! Keep it up!
Yeah Corey! Good for you! You look so good!
Good for you Corey....I love this layout and think it is great that you put this down on paper.
BTW...the kraft paper on my layout is SR. I know how you LOVE kraft.
Hey Corey I just wanted to let you know that you are looking amazing! Way to go! I probably won't recognize you the next time I see you!
Thank you everyone!
and Jen - that's the plan - the next time I visit I want to be unrecognizable!!! and I could've used pictures from you wedding for the before picture! I can't believe how awful I looked - Neil must've been so embarrassed to introduce you and your family to me!
Are you embarassed for me to meet your friends? That was an odd comment coming from you. Being heavy doesn't mean you should be embarassed. I love you skinny or fat!!
of course not!!! don't ever think that....EVER! I love you inside and out - how I feel about myself is something I am trying to deal with - when I'm with certain people I'm ashamed of myself - that's nothing you did or can fix.
