Default Before and After Pics. My motivation.

I love before and after pics. They are the best motivation for me. They always make me so happy to see other people progress, because I know how good it feels to look at my own and think, wow I can't believe I did this. I found these before pics the other day. I was 19-20 years old and weighed about 215 pounds. In the after pics I am 21 and 22 and weigh 150 pounds. When i first started losing weight everyone around me wanted to get healthy and eat right. I have been sending these pictures around to all my friends and family who have started to forget how far I've come, to help motivate them into getting and staying healthy.

You look awesome. Eventhough I've only lost 30 lbs, I think a before and after may come in handy for me as well. May give me a little inspiration even if you may need a microscope to see that I'm .000000022 smaller on the pic! :-)

Thanks!

wow- great job!

I like pictures too! I have one in my profile- sorta a before and after... these were my shorts last summer at size 18- 204 lbs and then me in Feb this year- in a size 12/14 (depends on what it is- a few 12s but more 14s)- I've only lost a lb or so since then- so I'm pretty much at the same size since the picture was taken.
