Default Before Photos/Motivation

I like the few threads that I saw around here about looking up old photos to use as motivation on your current journey. So I did some digging on my computer and found two photos to share.

this one is from 2006 right after my younger son was born...i weighed about 240 at the time...pic taken at an airport with my boys
spring 2006.jpg

this pic was taken just a few months ago...i weighed about 185...pic taken at work

anyone else want to share theirs? i love this idea!

Look how good you look! Great job! I'm going to post my before's and afters as soon as I'm done. I have to find the card with my never before seen "before" pictures. If that makes any sense!

You look great. You've come a long way.

I just have to say that you look happy and friendly in the first pic. I like it too.

thank you

ive had people this year flat out not believe that i'm the parent of a 15 year old son...and ive been mistaken for a kid at the high school instead of a parent LOL it's sooo weird

it's good to see my photos because it does show me that i've lost weight, even when i dont feel like i have, and to keep me on track for the new year

You do look awesome! You asked for others, so I thought I'd share:

Me earlier today:




I got smaller and my pup got bigger!
