I wrote the post below in November 2008, when I first began journaling. Since then I’ve been dieting and exercising inconsistently, and I’ve lost 7lbs and gained 2lbs (net 5lbs) as a result. The cellulite is still there in all its glory.
I found out last night that I’m not pregnant. After a 2nd trimester miscarriage in November 2007 and a little over a year of trying, my thinking is that if I can’t get pregnant, I might as well look good.
Down to the basement I go with camera in hand. Scale out, 135lbs at 5’2″. Calulating my BMI, I’m at 24.7 so I’m within the normal range (although at the high end).
Click, click, click. The camera tells a different story. Is this me? Did I really go out in a bathing suit this past summer with my butt and legs looking like this? Yes, it’s true. And I’ll do it again next summer too, if I don’t act quickly, because I won’t deny my little darling 4-year-old. She loves going to our neighborhood lake.
So it begins.
Below are some pictures that I took in Nov 2008:
cellulite on butt & rt thigh. Whoa, look at that belly.
cellulite on rt thigh. Goodbye!
cellulite on left thigh. Goodbye, goodbye!

God Bless you for starting this website, having the guts to post photos and stats and making people like me not feel so alone! I can really relate to your frustration with weight and cellulite and also your pregancy loss and frustrated attempts to become pregnant again. “I’ve been there” on all those topics. I was looking for useful advice and motivation when I stumbled onto your website and I really appreciate it!

Hi Jill,
yeah, I stumbled your site too and think you are awesome for keeping record on your journey and sharing it with us! I was looking for info on the fat flush plan in hopes that it would REALLY help with my cellulite and that’s how I found you.
Good luck with our journey and wondering if you took the fat flush supplements kit in addition to following the diet guide. Do you think it helped?
Thanks again or sharing.
