Photography has the power to capture and preserve special, intimate moments. Photography also has the ability to document stories of amazing transformations.
I, like most of us, have the will power to avoid sweet foods for a few days if I have too. The story I am about to tell in pictures demonstrates a determination and will power far beyond that of simply avoiding too many carbohydrates. Melody, one of my closest friends has faithfully spent the last 8 months losing over 70 lbs. Take a look at her inspiring journey:
The Beginning
The following image is from September 2009, about 5 months before her goal to lead a healthier lifestyle began.
In February 2010, Melody began working out at the gym on a regular basis, and signed up for Jenny Craig. I am so proud of her dedication and courage!
As the summer months ensued, when Melody achieved her 40lb weight loss goal we took some new photos:
The -40 Lb Mark
Yesterday around 8pm Melody ran up the stairs to my apartment door, and with a grin on her face exclaimed, “Guess what I did?!” And she proceeded to tell me she JUST RAN 3 MILES! I celebrated with her in the form of a happy dance.
Oh, and some new images too:
The -70 Lb Mark
Melody told me today that she plans to lose another 30 lbs by New Year’s Day 2011. You know what they say… new year, new you. She is an inspiration to so many people!
Again, a visual depiction of her amazing transformation:
Go Melody! Keep up the great work.
Here’s a few more of the fun photos we took today:

Amazing challenge, amazing results! What an inspiration! Pass the excellent photos to Jenny Craig. They need to be seen.
Congratulations! Keep up the good work.
I have lost about 18 lbs over the past 5 week, the last 3 weeks on Jenny, which I will continue.
I am 2 lbs away from being in the 100s instead of 200+ lbs!
Looking forward to less stress on my bad knees, getting off some medication, and of course looking and feeling better.
Thank you for the beautiful photos and success story!
great job!!!
