You are so brave for posting the photos! I am a little lighter than you but there's no way I would have photos of myself taken, let alone post them on here! I wish I had the same kind of couragement as you have.
PS ~ I LOVE your hair! It's so long and I'm attempting to get my hair that long.
thighs be gone- all i did was make a reg post but on the bottom it has manage attatchments.. you click that, find your pic, and attach it.. and no worries about highjacking my thread.. would be great if others post on this same one so no one is alone lol.. just says 'big before pics.. not neccessarily just mine lol
had my hubby take these pics... imagine, he loves me even like this lol.
Baz xo- this is about 2.5 years of hair growth. hubbys says if i cut mine he will cut his, and i love his long hair.. so guess mine will be to my knees soon lol

Two and half years aren't that bad. It usually takes me about 5 years for my hair to be below my boobs! I'm not very patient with my hair so I usually chop them off.
Your husband sounds so lovely! I wish there were more men who loved their partners, deregardless of their appearances. My boyfriend loves me unconditionally but I'm not brave like you, wearing shorts! I hate my legs.
baz xo- i wear shorts in the house all year round.. they are comfy, and i figure wearing long pants doesnt hide my fat, so i may as well be comfortable lol...
i am lucky to have such a wonderful husband. he supports me in my weight loss efforts, only because i will be around longer if healthy and because its something I want. he loves me no matter what, and that is half my motivation actually..if that makes sense lol

Oh, good grief! I find it horrible wearing shorts as short as yours in the photo because the fat in my upper thighs always rub together, resulting in painful burn marks and blisters! So I only wear long shorts that goes down my knees. Other than that, I just mainly wear trousers or crops.
Yes, that makes sense. It's so lovely that you have a husband who supports you in losing weight, for the right reasons. My boyfriend is the same, he loves me unconditionally, but he would want me to be healthy and happy.
Thanks for sharing these photographs of the before pictures. You are much braver than I was I waited until I had lost the bulk of the weight before taking the plunge.
You have already lost a portion of the weight you will be posting another update before you know it. You should be proud of your achievements so far and if the compliments haven't started coming (50lbs for me) I bet they soon will and they keep your morale high and motivated.
Way to go! Thirty pounds already down!! That is no small feat; I applaud you! It's great you have the pics then as you lose more weight you will have a point of reference to come back to! You go girl!!!
