Check this out!! FINALLY WEARING A SKIN TIGHT DRESS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVERRRR!


a little before and after for fun


All i need is a whole lotta toning bahah


sorry the pics are so small, havin a bit of trouble uploading

I didn't really take a start photo, but this family pic was taken on 5/29/2012 and I was 262. This is my progress photo from today 7/22/2012. I am 233 lbs. Since I started on 4/23 I am down 33 lbs. I hit my first mini-goal, and I am currently smaller than I have ever been since I started dieting (in my early 20's). I love this thread! It is so helpful to go through them all and see what I might look like at certain weights! Congrats to everyone!

Here are some progress pics.

Before and after (taken today).


I don't know that I can ever get rid of these thighs. and the stomach is sooo stubborn. sigh

I just went through this entire thread. WOW!

Here's my contribution. This is me two days after I weighed 302 on a doctor's scale.


Here's me just a few days ago at 242 in my favorite old ratty stained shirt that is now too big.

A ladies' XL shirt fit me for the first time in 12 years. In the old pic I was a 3X-4X. I can now wear 18-20 jeans, when before I was too big for anything Lane Bryant carried. I had fun making a little gif to compare.

Elladorine, Garnet and Audrey, you all look great.

Mamasam, you look so much younger! I can relate, because I'm in my 50s and I think I look younger now too.

Here are mine, July 2011 and July 2012.

Here is a picture of me at my heaviest, when I was feeling really down about life in general and eating thousands upon thousands of calories a day. The other picture is me yesterday, about 60-70 pounds lighter. (I don't know exactly how much, because I refused to weigh myself.) I think that you can really see the difference in my face.

Here is me at my highest weight around 290 and the other was taken about a week and a half ago, not sure what my weight is here since I have refused to step on the scale lately....But this gives me motivation to keep going and get to my goal weight!

Posted in the mini goal section, but thought Id post here too not much of a poster but Im always looking up the threads..

Down 50 lbs since end of May and out of the 200s!, still a lot more to go but im very proud of my success this far.. I have a lot of personal issues with depression/anxiety & pcos and changing my habits never lasted before more than a couple weeks. I NEEDED a change in every way, and Im never going back

Its only 25lb difference but I can see it in my face. First one 265, second 240. Its nice to see a change even with this little lost toward my goal.

I wanted to post a mini-goal comparison.



The first photo is from earlier this year, when I'd gone back up to 267 from the mid-240's (my highest is 360 and there's no way I want to go all the back up there again). The second photo is from this past weekend at 235, my lowest in 12 years. I'm working extra hard on the next 15 pounds and beyond.

Progress pics always inspire me and I always lurk in these sections to stay motivated. Here's my contribution to this section: 270ish to about 152 lbs. Sorry about the iffy quality of the after picture, it's from my phone.

270 lbs:
225 lbs:

152 lbs:


I'm trying to go for 140 now just to see what it looks like (having been obese my entire life, I have no idea) but I'm also happy where I am now.

Toasted you look amazing. Congratulations on your hard work.

Here is a progress pictures First is 265 Second is yesterday at 227

I wanted to post a quick one before heading off tonight.



The left is obviously my before (and goes with one of the photos I posted earlier in this thread), the right was taken immediately before my job interview last week (I got the job, today was my first day).
