Baring it all....
So I have been stuck for months going up and down with the same five pounds...I had started thinking I have made no progress....I started feeling like I looked exactly the same as when I started. So I pulled out my handy dandy camera because I hadn't taken progress pictures in quite some time.
Fact of the matter is that I have to stop letting my brain play tricks on me and get focused. I have come a long way. I have kept the weight off two years. Now it's time to refocus and make that last stretch of the journey.
So here is my comparison before and after 50 pounds.
I know I haven't been around as much lately, but I have to tell you...You chicks have helped me more than you could ever know

Isn't it so strange how our brains play tricks on us? One moment I will feel great; the next moment, I could swear that I am still 47 pounds heavier and still look exactly the same.
Congratulations on your success. I definitely see a big difference in your "before" and "now" pics. I am so very sorry that I don't have full-body "before" pics. I was so depressed and camera-shy, but I can see now that it would really help me to have something to look at when I am feeling low. You look so slim and trim!

I get like that too! I have to look at pictures to remind myself that I DO look different, even though sometimes when I look in the mirror I see the same 290+ body.
You look great!

Thanks *blush*
Yea when I first started taking the progress pics I figured no one would EVER see them but me. But I saw a lot of other brave ladies who felt no shame in posting them up here, and I know how much seeing their progress inspired me. So eh....I am the one that got lazy and put that gut on, might as well let people see it. Not like they couldn't imagine what terror lurked beneath my clothes anyway hahah.

I think it happens to us all sometimes. I know there are days when I feel like I have made no progress yet despite having lost almost 40 pounds so far. Looking at progress pics definitely helps, so does looking back at the record I keep of my weights and body measurements.
You look great and should be very proud of yourself.
