Well, I've finally progressed to the point where I have some "after" photos to show on my site. There's only a twenty pound difference between the new ones and the ones I had up before, but even so I think I can see a definite change. If you want to see what a 20 pound drop can look like on a 5 foot 4 woman, take a gander at http://webpages.charter.net/lenny13/MyPics.html!

WAY TO GO ANNIE!!!!

Good job Annie! You are doing great!

Ditto, Annie! You are actually the person who (unknowingly until now), led me to 3fc (maybe from nutridiary?), so THANK YOU! So, I have been following your progress and there is SUCH a difference in these new pics! You have a great Turkey Day outfit!! You WILL conquer the blue dress!!!

Also, I love the commentary in your photos.

Thanks for leading me here, and for being such an inspiration!!!!

Wow Annie! You can really tell. Especially in that blue dress from losing about 20 pounds, there is a huuuuge difference. That is a good idea to try the same thing on througout the weightloss so you can see the change. Keep it up!

Wow! The difference is amazing! You should be so proud of yourself...you've really come quite a long way! Congrats!

I'm with everyone else in saying WOW! You're doing an awesome job and pretty soon that blue dress will look like a potato sack hanging off of you!! You really are an inspiration!

Bravo Annie!!!

You're doing fabulously!! I'm super impressed. I have "the belly" too. And can tell you that it's all downhill from 200. It just gets easier and easier to camouflage. At 170, it's still here. Much smaller, though. And, I can't see it at all in some outfits. Yay!!! Nothin' but good news ahead, girl! Keep it up!

And, thanks for keeping the weigh in thread going. It's so much fun to see everyone's progress every week. I always look forward to it!

cheers!

Wow, what a difference! And your captions are hilarious.

You have the right underlying body shape for that blue dress; I bet you'll look cute in it when you reach your goal.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, everyone. It still feels odd to me to actually be in a position where I can serve as an inspiration rather than as a horrible warning. I do credit the great support I've gotten from this community for some of the success I've had. So a big pat on the back to all of you!

Great pictures Annie! You know what they say a picture says 1000 words!

Really good!!!!

Just dropped in to get some inspiration! AND.... You and your photos gave me just that! It is hard to get me to LOL at 6:30 in the morning but you did that too with your funny photo captions! Keep up the great work! Yes, it is obvious that you're shrinking! Doesn't it feel wonderful to put on something that you feel comfortable in?! I have discovered how amazing a 20 difference can feel! You're doing great!

take care!

Great job!!!

Great job, you are truly inspiring. Especially your great attitude, that really helps, doesn't it? You're hilarious, I'm anxious for the next installment of "The Horrid Blue Dress".

PS: Beautiful cat!
