Hi! As of today I have lost 50 lbs. I'm very proud of myself and I feel great. Note that the old me strategically was hiding my body behind someone in the photo. No more!

I want to thank everyone on this forum for encouraging me and letting me read about your experiences, it has been a key factor in my success. Thanks to Matt_H for introducing me to the Forum and for the people who got me into calorie counting which has lead to a five pound loss after a six week stall in the first week (!!!)

Wow! You look great.
I am on my way to losing 50 pounds too. Then more after that.

Best of luck to you!

I love the before and afters here! Great job! You look awesome!

Oh, terrific! And what lovely long legs you have!! 50 pounds lost looks great on you! And your hair looks fuller too...healthier?

Thanks JOLINA, you and me both!

Thanks guamvixen, your picture is a real inspiration too!

Eliana, thanks! My hair is just longer.

where's the "like" button!!! You look fantastic - your smile seems so much livelier, so great to see

Wow, you are looking terrific at 208 already! Keep up the great work.

Girl! No more hiding for YOU, you look fantastic!

Love those jeans, by the way. You tall chicks always look so leggy in jeans, I am green with envy! You really do look sensational and you wear your smile beautifully in both pictures.

You look wonderful; congratulations!

Thanks Coondocks, kaebaka and Tai!

Nola Celeste, They are NYDJ, Not Your Daughters Jeans. They really help you look slimmer and longer. I bought this pair on eBay. Thanks for the compliments.
