I don't think I look like the same person. It also sort of scares me because I don't ever want to look gaunt and I still have 39ish lbs to go.

wow. you really look different. I would say it wasn't the same person at all. Of course you look happier in your new picture and your hair is different, but your face isn't puffy anymore and you look even prettier and healthier!

Thank you! I wouldn't recognize myself if I didn't know it was me. Hopefully my husband will still know me when he gets home.

I have the same fear about looking gaunt, because I like my face right now and I have about 50 lbs to go... but I think if you look at most skinny people their faces are still healthy--I suspect it's hard to lose THAT much weight in the face. Don't let it discourage you. You look really great by the way.

Lambiechop, you look wonderful! My face did start to look a bit too thin once I had lost about 30-40% of my body weight but it adjusted over time and filled out. Also, I was pretty inconsistent with drinking my water but once I started getting at least the 64 oz in regularly, this helped a great deal.

I don't take many pics but here's how my face looks 100+ pounds lighter.

Awesome Job!! I start my diet tomorrow, I am so nervous. I hope I can do as well as all of you ladies. Any secrets?

Thanks, Prim2012! That's great to know. Makes me feel better You look beautiful!

What an awesome difference, looking fab

Wow, that's a big difference! But your hair is also different, and that might also have quite a bit to do with it as well.

You're looking great and keep it up!

Thanks Lambiechop. I've noticed small changes (for the better) as my weight has stabalized. My face and breasts have filled back out some and my skin (although some areas still loose) is looking better. When I started heavy lifting my hands became really veiny and I hated how they looked but again as I moderated things, the hands filled back out some. It just takes time and a lot of patience.

You look like a different person! I bet the difference in your body is big as well!

Whoop whoop! You even look younger with your new do!
Well done!

I have noticed in almost all of the before and afters that you all look so much younger in the after pic's..really..like 10yrs. My mom alwys said weight ages you and I must agree...i am a twinge jealous and very inspired... rock on

Oh you look beautiful! Your face is more defined and you do look much healthier.
