Before and After Roll Call....
 

Hi everyone. So, on the success story board, I know most everyone probably has a set of before and after pictures they'd like to share. I find it so inspiring to see how you've all stuck with your plans and made some kind of a weight loss system work for you. I am just starting, so I don't have any "after" pictures to post yet, but I am very interested in seeing yours! Care to share?

Ok here are mine

Me at 323 pds

YAY for you, Sunshine! You look GREAT!

Well done Sunshine! You are looking fabulous!

My 'before' and 'current' pics are on a webpage that I have a link to below my tracker. I also have a link to a document on there telling a little about my journey so far. I don't have any 'after' pics yet, but hope to get some in a few months' time. The last 15lbs are taking a little longer to come off than I had hoped, thanks mostly to hormones I think.

I am looking forward to seeing more pics. I really enjoy looking at before and after - and 'in progress' - pics.

Take care all,

Zelma

wow, Zelma! The change is amazing! congratulations to you!

Wow. You did a great job, too, Josie! It is so amazing to see the change in everyone! I have a ton of before pictures, but I'm really ashamed of them all. I'd like to take a picture every month, so I can compare.

Mine are here :)

Tani, that pink dress is gorgeous! I love it :)

http://animespoof.com/beforeafter/ - Those are mine from my first major weight loss. It feels good to realize I look so much better now and I didn't have to do much the first time. Rice and tofu will do that to you. I've lost only 13 lbs this time around so far so I look more like the top pictures in the "today" section now.

amazing. you look better now than you did at your prom, <3!

and Tani, you have undergone a remarkable change! I'll bet people don't recognize you anymore!

those are awesome pics everyone. if i showed the ones from my teen years where i weighed in at 145 or 150 and dropped down to 100 pounds and wore a size 3, you wouldn't even recognize they were the same person. i show people at work my photos of my senior year, and they tell me all the time , it doesn't it look like me. but i am going to make sure i take before and after and maybe even some progress pics to show also. thanks to those who don't mind sharing their photos. You all look so good in your pics!!! thanks for sharing!!! :)

OMG Tani! You look AWESOME! You're before picture looks very similar to where I am right now...so you give me soooo much hope!!

woohoo! Glad to be of service :)

I love seeing everybody's pictures too!

You're all doing an amazing job and looking beautiful! I love this thread - it's inspirational.

okay, I'm motivated!

Girls, amazing jobs! be SO proud!

lessthansign3, your pictures are amazing! You look like an entirely different person. And yes, that prom picture is hot! ;)

I am so inspired by all these success stories, well done to all of you!! :cheer:

I definitely want to be contributing before and after pictures... I am determined to make my way into this thread :lifter:

I'm not quite done yet and I don't really like the after picture of me. I look so mean! But it's amazing the difference 70 lbs will make.

You ladies are great!

you look great getncontrol! Sometimes it is hard to imagine what i would look like 70 pounds lighter. Seeing all of your pictures helps me keep in mind that underneath all my excess, there's a skinny person wanting to come out! :)

lol! Thanks :) Yeah, now that I'm getting my weight back down I feel hot again. Today I even had a waitress in a restaraunt today say to me as I was leaving, "I was told to give this to you," and she handed me a napkin with a guy's name and phone number on it!! I thought it was hilarious, because I'll bet the guy didn't know I'm only 18 as today's a regular school day for most kids. Ha ha. It was a confidence boost, though!! :)

Getncontrol: WOW! Everyone here who's lost a significant amount of weight, you are truly inspiring. It must feel so weird to look at those old pictures! For me it is, too, and I didn't lose that much!! Congrats everyone <3

This certianly isn't as drastic as all of your progress, but it's still a good start!

Awesome job! lol, we're both at the same weight right now. Just because you didn't lose 100 lbs like some people doesn't mean the results are any less stunning :) Congrats!

ALL of you look great. Kate you can definitely see the difference. This is just what I needed to see today.

Aww, thanks Lessthansign3 and Teahoney!

And I agree, this was a great thread. It's nice to see that others are rocking their weight loss, that it can be done and that it's worth it at the end!

Wow all of you just look stunning! Thanks for sharing!! Great idea for this thread.... hope more people will share!

Dance

You are all looking great!

Here are my "work in progress" photos. So far I've lost 33 lbs. and still have a ways to go but I'm feeling lots better about my appearance and my feet don't hurt as much!

You are a really pretty and congrats on eating better (happy late birthday)! My 18th birthday is in July and I'm hoping to be around 200ish around then if I can:). The part I like is that I don't look like as much as I weigh.. never have:).

I think everyone on this thread has done a wonderful job and I love looking at these pictures:). Tani! I was hoping to see a picture of you.. I've seen you around and you've done an amazing job! You guys motivate me even more.

Before - 192 lbs August 2004

(those size 10 jeans I am wearing so proudly for the first time in that picture are so big I just gave them to Goodwill)

About 138 lbs June 2005

I weigh about 128 now and need to have some more pictures taken. It's hard for me after a lifetime of avoiding the camera to WANT pictures. I spent some time at Ann Taylor today trying on size 6 dresses - every one looked amazing and fit perfectly. I am constantly thrilled with my weight loss and completely inspired to just keep eating nothing but whole, healthy foods.

Oh! I meant to say - I am so impressed by everyone's pictures - fabulous pink dress, Tani! And Zelma...wow.

Thanks! ^_^ I've never quite looked my weight, either, because it all goes to my hips. I've got quite the hourglass figure now and I'm excited to see what'll happen as I lose more weight. Good luck to you!! <33 I hope I can reach my goal weight by July, but I'm afraid my three week trip to Germany in June might slow my weight loss or I may even gain weight!! I don't think I'll gain because I'm going to try to stay on track while I'm there and I won't drink (never have, and I never will till I'm 21!)

I absolutely love these pictures. Everyone looks so amazing afterwards. Keep posting your pics, everyone! :)

:). I understand what you are talking about. My weight goes to my tummy and not mainly to my hips. My legs are more toned than any part of my body so my upper body needs some extra work. I'm excited too:D. Thank you and you too! Germany and Japan.. those must be great experiences! As you said, as long as you watch what you are eating I wouldn't worry about it, just have fun:). That's a good thing. Drinking really isn't good for the liver (too much anyway). I've drank before for taste and I have to say the only times I would want to drink would be wine ( a glass a day can be good for you, or so what I hear lately) or on my wedding day:). I've never went past taste and know I don't need to. I hope you have fun on your trip!

I'll post my pics after I lose more weight.. wee:D. I always love to poke around people's site and look at pictures.. it's motivating to me.

THis is a great thread!! I am so excited to have some "after" pictures :)

Glory87 - you made quite the transformation as well!! You look great!

How did you lose the weight??

Ha ha ha! That's the funniest NSV I think I've ever heard!

I hope we can hang on to this thread and keep it as a repository for before/after pics... I love them!

You've all done such a great job and are so inspiring! Also, it makes a good point to me... I have some smaller friends, who weigh in at 180 or less. I always cringe inside to hear them talk about how they need to lose weight, 'cos to me, they look great! But thanks to the great folks on this board I'm beginning to see that even a "little" extra weight is just as painful to you as my 100+ is to me. I'm really grateful to have learned this... thank you...

Anyway, I have some before pics, I just need to get my husband to send them to me, and I'm going to get some during pics taken, hopefully this weekend. I'll add them in soon!

Happy Saturday!

-Lala

I love this thread too.... before, during and after pix are one of my favorite features at 3FC! LOL someday I will be able to post a skinny pic, tee hee. But at least the last one I had taken does look a lot better than the horrible before one LOL :dance:

This is a great thread and very inspirational to see everyones progress. Mine can be found by clicking on my signature link. Thanks all for sharing.

Woops, I never saw this until the thread was bumped today! Here's my first post to 3FC where I wrote about my weight loss journey :) Since then, I've lost another 13 lbs!

I also posted some new pics, some more before during and after :) New pics are mostly on the second page!

http://gloriana.myphotoalbum.com/vie...umName=album02

I also LOVE looking at everyone's before and after pics. I almost wish I had MORE before pictures :) Too bad I was such a camera shy FREAK.

Glory87, I'm going to steal your idea when I get to my goal weight and take a picture of the scale!!! You look great!!!

My before and durings are in my signature. I can't wait for the finite AFTERS!!
