Looking at people's before and afters was a HUGE motivator for me, so here are mine too!! Left pic is from
June 2012 weighing about 320ish, right pic is June 2013 weighing 184. The first 100 pounds came off in about 9 months. Woohoo!!!! I love Ideal Protein!!!! And I just have to mention I have A LOT of excess skin that is concealed beautifully in my outfit.
I've been too shy to post a pic of myself but you have all inspired me to do so. It's wonderful to see so many others succeed on this program. My husband is so proud of me and does all the boasting hehe that he has decided to jump on board
Besides, living on Maui, I have to have a reason to finally wear a bikini
All I can say to all who posted photos - WOW and WOW again! You cannot know how motivating it is to look at them because it is a way of reminding me and other that we, too, are capable of doing that. Keeps me going for sure.
Keep in mind that most "before" pictures I have aren't full body shots in all my 3x+ glory because I always made my wife crop the pics in a sad attempt to hide the embarrassment and shame I felt at my appearance.
Here's me using up all the available space in a canvas folding lawn chair
In case no one knows I'm the guy on the right not the skinny guy on the left
Here I am larger than life at Haleakala crater - notice the use of the strategic hoodie to try to cover up
Another Maui shot
Hanging out at the Grand Canyon - again notice no full body shot
Finally here is a shot of me and the wife unit - don't tell her I've included her in this post
Now the after pictures:
At the Museum of The Rockies - pay no attention to the flat hair I was wearing a motorcycle helmet all day
Me at a wedding a 10 days ago
Same wedding
Last but not least - the wife unit and myself [/QUOTE
Sooooo happy for you! Huge congrats! You look amazing and healthy!
Since there is tech help mixed in with the motivation here (you guys look great btw!) can someone let me know how to make a post? I can only see the "post reply" button. I'm new!
