I love these! So encouraging! I took my first sets in my sports bra and yoga capris...not good thinking for posting. . But, maybe I will have a "mid point" pic after tonight's Christmas party

I love seeing progress pictures! They are so motivating!! Everyone looks so happy in them!! Great job everyone!

Here's my most recent one.

Avalon I can't help but notice you have beautiful long legs and they're sooo smooth, even when you were heavier your legs were slamming lol

Sunflower40, what a sweet complement!

Yes, smooth. I had the luxury of laser hair removal on my legs, so they don't actually have a single hair.

I have always had "slammin' legs" (as you said), but they definitely lose their shape when I get heavy.

This photo below is of me in 1993, the last time I was at 190 pounds (which is my target in this dieting go round). Of course I was a young 36 in this photo and I am 56 now, so I have to try to stay realistic with weight goals and body expectations!

June 1993 Photo (when I last hit 190 pounds)

Everyone looks so great! here's mine - from when I started IP in April until today.

Fantastic Ruth Ann!! What a huge improvement!! It's amazing how much weight comes off the face in everyone's photo. I just never think of the body storing fat in ones head, but it's clear it does.

Thanls Avalon! I think my face was the 1st place I really noticed getting smaller.

Ruthannn, you look amazing, And Avalon, I always wanted long legs! But, I got awesome shoulders and a great chest instead! Definitley play up your assets!

Wow, so inspiring to see everyone's before/after pics! My before was from my trip to Cape Cod in late July and my mid-way was from last night! I still have another 40 to loose!

ems70508, great photo -- you look great right now!! amazing you still have 40 to go.

MidgieMoon, you are so right about that!

Fantastic photos everyone!! So inspiring..

Gorgeous, gorgeous pictures!! Thank you all SO much for posting them!

The first photo is from February 28,2013 at 328.8 lbs
The second photo is from August 20, 2013 at 226.8 lbs (-102!)

Unfortunately, since August I have hit a plateau, losing "only" (sarcasm dripping from my voice because I am still proud!) 18 pounds. I went through more than three months of student teaching starting in September which led me to not be 100% on plan with regards to getting all of my vegetables and vitamins in.

But as of this week, I am 100% recommitting to the plan! I MUST make time for myself. I want to lose an additional 30-40 pounds by my one year mark to hit my goal.

Sorry for the large pics! Yikes!
