These are some very bad pic's of me at 147 lbs. just days before I hit my goal. My DD begged me not to post them. I had my head tilted too far back like I was trying to cover up a double chin that I no longer have. Old habit. By the way, DD thinks I look "mentally challenged". LOL

First pic is my beautiful DD, Lacy Marie.
Second pic is my handsome son, Shane.
Last pic is of me and DH exchanging wedding rings. (I was 210 lbs. in this pic.)

Lily!! You look great, and the picture with the blue shirt makes your legs look like they go forever!!

Tipsy~ you've come a long way....you look great!!!!! Keep up the great work!

Thanks Robin, I just posted these last night while me and DD were playing with the scanner. I wanted everyone to see my kids and DH that I talk about all the time. I can no longer wear the jeans or white capris from these 2 pic's my hips and legs just won't keep them up. When I use a belt, they completely sag in the butt. LOL

Great pics, both of you. Thanks for sharing.

Lilybelle - Your kiddos are cuties!

Lilybelle, I just wanted to chime in and say how great you look, and how much of an inspiration you are. I would LOVE to have a figure like yours! :)

I love looking at everyone's before & after pics. They are so motivational. I can't wait for the day when I post my pic after reaching my goal.

Ssgtswife33, you should post some now! They're progress pictures, after all, and 85 pounds is a LOT of progress. Congratulations, and good luck to you!

Ssgtswife, post some now. We'd love to see your progress pic's.

Ms Spotdog, thanks. Seeing the pic of my son is sad for me right now. He is away at Camp Cook Louisiana, and I don't know for sure when he'll be home. I miss him. He's been gone a week and I haven't got to talk to him or a letter. I have to remind myself that he will call or write when he gets a chance. He's at the hands of the Army, so no communication with home isn't his choice. He is a specialist in the Combat Engineer dept. and he is there for some type of extra training. He called it "Sapper School" or something like that.

I assume it's okay to resurrect a thread if it's already a sticky? :)

I found a video last night that utterly horrified me at first, but it did serve to remind me of how far I've come, so I grabbed a still from it, gathered my courage, and decided to share. Now I kind of wish I hadn't destroyed the very few photos that were taken of me when I was at my highest. You can't see my face in the "before" shot, but I looked like a totally different person!

This is somewhere between an 85 and an 88 pound loss, and the vast majority of it's due to low-carb. I cannot say enough about this WOE.

callystia!! You look amazing!!! Great job!

Thank you so much, Robin!

I was a little hesitant to post, because I did drop about fifteen pounds of that in an unhealthy way, but MOST of it was due to Atkins.

Not to mention that my weight bounced back up a bit, after I stopped the restricting and such...yet another reason that stuff isn't a good idea; it doesn't work long-term. I wish I could go back in time and smack some sense into myself!

Id be black and blue :lol3: Great job tho! :)

Callystia, You look fantastic! Thank you for sharing, You are doing so well.

Progession: 2004--2007 (185 to 154)
 

Tonight, to give myself a little inspiration, I decided to make a little "progression" picture collage thingy. The first two pics--from 2004 and 2005, are me at about 185 (Halloween and outside my house). The third one is when I'm at 165 (20lbs lost) and the fourth one is just the other day at 154 (31 pounds lost). In the 4th photo--that thing on my neck is my ball python, not a huge growth ;)

I'm a little sad to see that I don't APPEAR to have lost much...or is that my biased imagination? Anyway...here they are! Hoping to add a new photo to the bunch in a month or so! And then a final photo not too long after that :D

you are crazy girl! you look great and you can definatley tell that you have lost weight - i cant wait until i have lost 31 pounds! :)

Thanks so much :D I know I've gotten smaller. I'm wearing smaller clothes! But maybe it's just that inner Fat Girl whispering in my ear, telling me that I haven't changed--she's really annoying.

You'll be at 31lbs lost in no time :) Atkins is the best plan I've been on so far--so I'm sure that if you stick to it, you'll be at your goal before you know it!

Azure, you look fantastic! Definately a noticable differance! Tell that inner fat girl to SHUT UP!! Thanks for sharing your pics, you'll be at goal in no time.

Beautiful, Azure! :) And yes, there is a difference!

A definate change in your body shape Azure. You have boobs in your first picture that every woman would be envious of lol. When I gain weight, the first place it goes is to my boobs which I really don't mind, but to sacrifice my boobs a lil bit to lose weight everywhere is a bonus!
Keep up the good work hun :-)

you have changed a lot, you look so good. you remind me of the actress Sarah Rue

I had no idea who she was...but I googled some photos of her and she and I definitely share some facial/body shape similarities. There's a photo of her I found in this black dress--and I have almost an identical dress :)

Thanks for the compliments! I'm feeling good right now :D

Okay... I am new here and thought I would share.. here are some pics of me. First at my highest weight and the second was after I maintained my 50ish lb loss for 5 months. (I have gained some of it back and working hard to get back to where I was in January, and lose even more!)

You look fantastic Alie :bravo:

Way to go Alie!!! Keep it up you look great!!

Wow it's been a long time
 

But I'm back! :)

Here's my progress so far. I've flat lined and gained back a little bit, but now I'm getting back on track to lose the rest. I love the lo-carb way of life.
