I have seen many inspiring photos of "before & now" pix in various signatures, but havent seen a thread on the home page collecting everyone's together.
So anyone who is willing to share your success to help others see that Ideal Protein really makes a visual difference to... feel free to post away!
Here is a visual update of my journey so far. To be honest, when I took the "before" pictures, I didnt really think I would lose enough weight to ever need them (let alone show publically!), so I did not take front/side Before pix with clothes on (my 9 year old took the pictures as I was heading out the door to go water jogging, so I also didnt check to see if they were even in focus.)
Since those were my only real reference shots, the updated shots are in as much of the same place as possible to be able to compare side by side. So as much as I would rather hide in "slimming black" pants and shirt, this is the reality.
I'm about 2 lbs from my halfway mark. (And as I said before, my evil Wii Fit still screams "YOU ARE OBESE! YOU ARE OBESE!" even after 64+ lbs lost. haha!) but am very happy with how I feel and its rewarding how many people are really noticing the change now.
Feel free to also share your most hilarious compliments. (Trust me. I am HAPPY to have rude compliments at this stage. Its easy to laugh now.)
Here are a few of mine:
"are you on a diet? You have gone from grossly overweight to just obese in such a short time."
"Wow! You aren't nearly as fat as you used to be!"
"congratulations! Is this going to be the first Christmas in a long time where Santa Claus doesnt ask to sit on YOUR lap?"
