I'm not at goal quite yet, but I found some old pictures at my mom's today that kind of blew me away. They are a few years old at my absolute highest weight. It's hard to remember being that person- it feels like a different life time.

So, I had a little impromptu photoshoot in the mirror this afternoon because I am SO not good at being objective about these things. Just thought I'd share the progress .

A few notes- I have a permanent black scribble on my mirror, so please ignore that. Also, the orange hoodie is one of the few items of clothing I kept from my highest weight, so I took some pictures of me wearing it today.

I am not easily impressed...THIS is impressive! You are extremely well-proportioned. Congratulations on your success!

OH EM GEE! You've come a LOOONG way. Congrats! You look great!

You look AH-MAZING! Congrats, Congrats!!! Way to go. How long did it take you?

Absolutely fab! You. Are. AWESOME

Wow you look amazing! Congratulations!

Absolutely loving the red jacket. You look sophisticated (even tho you were shooting in a mirror). You have come such a long way. It looks like before, you were a young girl, and now you are a fabulous woman! Wonderful, good for you, and thanks more than you will ever know for the inspiration!

You look great!! AWESOME JOB!

Completely amazing! Kudos to you. You look so healthy and I KNOW you feel fantastic

Wow, absolutely amazing transformation. You look like a completely different person... It is so nice to see the beautiful person emerge from within that shell. Keep up the hard work. Also - your hair is FAB.

You look beautiful! Way to go!!!

Aw, shucks... you girls know how to make a girl feel good! Thanks for all of your kind words!

@aishah- it's been a LOOOOONG process! Those pictures are about 5 years old (I was 20, now 25). Many ups and downs in those 5 years, including 2 periods where I started gaining back some of what I had lost. It hasn't been easy, but it's all been worth it!

@124chicksinger- Thank you, that really means a lot to me!

Great job!

Wow! Congratulations!!!

You have turned into a hottie!!!!!! Well done!

Now, I gotta ask the boobs question....they obviously decreased in size from all the fat loss (woo! )....did you have any problems with sagging/losse skin?
