Before/Progress/After Pictures
Never been one to really get creative in my writing so hopefully the pictures speak a thousand words. Last week i hit 251lbs lost. Now able to comfortably fit into my goal size jeans (32). Weight is 181lbs. Would like to get to 179lbs then maybe an additional 5lbs to use as a buffer from when i move from OWL to maintenance. Might as well regurgitate some before pics and current. To inspire and be inspired. 2009-2012 - Not sure on weight as the then-scale was limited to 400lbs which i would get the good ole Error message. So i go with 400+ https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8663/...312bbfd1_b.jpg ---Warning that next pic contain TMI info--------------------- Sad when i continue to wear my sad ripped and worned sweat pants in 100 degree weather. I was to embarrassed to have to go to the XL store to get more and maybe move to 7XL. Don't fret as i had a second pair of sweatpants which i considered my going out pants so i made sure it was kept in good condition..lame i know https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8735/...0ed887bf_b.jpg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2937/...83b6b93b_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7634/...19e3a775_b.jpg https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2896/...c3372683_b.jpg https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2906/...71f66f55_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8652/...06907c65_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7611/...dd4fa263_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7640/...c4330852_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8582/...0851fe18_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8596/...31995670_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7610/...cf3468db_b.jpg 08/27/2013 - Day 1 following DANDR WOE.

This is absolutely phenomenal - what an accomplishment! You must feel amazing!
Sounds like you have a plan for maintenance, and that's great. I've found that all the great habits I formed when I was losing (I lost slowly) have really helped me maintain all these years. I lost the bulk of my weight in 2011 and I'm back up a few pounds this year, but it's because I had total knee replacement in December and my activity levels have been low. I'm already losing it again and since I just turned 44 (GASP!) I decided it was time to hit my ultimate goal this year. I know I'll do it - and I know that you can do this, too. That, in my opinion, is the biggest benefit to losing slowly - you learn good habits that continue when you work on maintaining. :) Congratulations! |
Incredible! :carrot: You look great, too. Btw, what is DANDR? It must be a really good plan!

Wow, Truely Inspirational.. you look awesome.. Congrats!! |
HOLY! Congratulations! What an accomplishment. You look much happier now!!
