Nicky's (a.k.a. Bel Diamante) Wall of Shame

A recent one of me on a night out. I'm using this as my starting comparison pic, as I have just started the Betty Baxter program.

I like that pic! You look very pretty and I LOVE your glasses. You are going to look even more stunning when you get to goal!

I haven't heart of the Betty Baxter program before. How are you finding it?

[Bel Diamante]

Hi EWQ.

The Betty Baxter program is still relatively new, but is very similar to Tony Ferguson. The only reason I chose BB this time over TF was location. The chemist that runs BB is just a short walk up the road.

Ah cool. That sounds good - and very convenient for you! Good luck with it and let us know how you get on.

Hi darlin,

how's the program going? How long til your wedding now?

[Bel Diamante]

Hey everyone!
I can't believe its been almost a year since i was on here!!

Well I managed to lose 5kgs before the wedding all up, so I got down to 136kgs for the day, not much considering i gave up Betty Baxter because of all the stress involved in organising a wedding. I've put the kgs back on however over this last christmas, but my cms are roughly the same as what they were a year ago (so it could be water weight i'm retaining). See my progress thread for more.

Here's some piccys from the wedding day (me at 136kgs)

And a more recent piccy of me now (at 142.8kgs)
Me and my sister Helena...


The piccy in my signature was taken about 2 months before the wedding.

You look gorgeous in those pictures, Nicky! It looks like you had a great time at your wedding. I completely understand your giving up on Betty Baxter with the stress of organising a wedding. There's no way I could stick to a program like that and I just have the everyday stress of studying!

Congrats on losing the 5kg before the wedding. And congrats on keeping your measurements the same over a whole year. And good luck for 2009!

cheers,
Ali

Thanks Ali! The wedding was beautiful! I can't believe how quick the whole day went, it was a real blur. I've been married for 3 months now and it only feels like yesterday !

Yeh just with all the crap going on with organising the wedding and dealing with not so nice co-workers at work , and mum telling me what to do , dieting was the last thing on my mind!

Well pplz, I may not be able to notice it in my body yet, but i can notice that my face is slowly starting to slim down!!

[EvilWombatQueen]

There's definitely a change in your face shape. Well done, Nicky! I'm sure you'll start seeing a difference in your body soon. Keep up the good work!
