Jiggle, I guess I'd never seen a true before pic of you! I am so proud of the great job you've done!

Thanks Susie. When I saw the pictures side by side I was really proud of myself. I even looked at a pair of pants I was wearing then and was almost half the size of them. Surreal!! But you look great too. I keep track of you so I can know what to expect. Thanks for being here!!!!

I'm a total newbie to the game but I love this thread already!! I need some motivation and there's nothing more motivating than seeing pics!! You guys look fantastic!! I have 10 pounds to lose and I'm on a serious calorie counting mission!!

Boy, do I have some doozies! And here I thought I hid well from cameras.

Thank you all, I will be posting an update pic next week. You all are so kind and encouraging! Can't wait til I am at goal too! 1 more pound and I will be in the 170's!!!!!!!!!!! woo-hoo!!!!!!!!

This is such an inspiring thread! Thanks to everyone for being brave and posting their photos. I wanted to contribute as well

The first photo was from December 2009. I weighted 215lbs and wore a tight size 16. I refused to move into 18's, so I knew I had to get in control of my eating.

The second photo was today! I currently weigh 178lbs and wearing a comfortable size 12. I am half way through my weight loss journey so far. I hope to reach my goal by the end of the year.

Keep the photos coming and lets celebrate our progress

I started off calorie counting in Feb of this year and have lost 67lbs so far. The 1st pic is of me on July 1st. I weighed 232lbs. The 2nd pic is of me back in Oct 09 visiting my M.I.L. I was in the 290's. I don't not ever take pics but she made me. I cried when she emailed me this picture. I didn't realize I looked like that. I'm never going back to that weight ever again.

Just wanted to bump this up because it's an AWESOME thread!!!

Thanks for bumping it up findingfawn, somehow I'd never seen it before! I would really love to be posting some pics in here of myself around...maybe April-May next year! Just wish my before photos actually showed how bad I've been.

Thank you all for posting your pics and telling a little about your stories.
You are all so beautiful! And you look so healthy...beautiful skin, hair, etc. So many of you started out about the same weight as I did. It really makes me realize I can do this too! Even when I am only losing 1 Lb. a week. Or none that week to keep going.

Thanks for posting these pictures, they keep me motivated for these last stubborn pounds. Y'all look so amazing at your goal weights, and I can't wait to post my goal weight picture on here.

Very inspiring! I'm going to subscribe to this thread so when I'm ready to show everyone my own results it will be easy to find. =)
