Default Before and After Pics
When I started on my way to a healthier me I was 255. I knew I was heavy but avoided pictures at all costs. Unfortunately a friend of mine snapped a few of me (unbeknownst). Anyway now that I've lost weight I'm happy that he did because I have a before and after pic to compare. I still have about 17 lbs to go to my ultimate goal and then I'm going to maintain. I don't know if I can. I've been on this new lifestyle kick since Jan 05 and have lost 113 lbs. It's just routine now to continue the way I am. The last 20 lbs are the hardest to shed but I'm not giving up. I've come a long way and I am NOT turning back. I am finally able to wear what I want. I can fit into size 8 jeans from American Eagle and I am thrilled. I know you've heard it a thousand times before but if I can do it, so can you.

Without further adeu...

Before @ 255 and after at 144 lbs. I'm currently @ 142 lbs.

Default So how did you do it?
I'm sorry if you have already answered this question (if so please direct me to it) but how did you lose the weight?

I have been doing aerobic exercise for the last year and a half and eating sensibly, but have not lost anything...my body looks different, re-shaped in a way, but I would really like to see more noticable changes!

I have recently joined a gym so that I can build up my muscle again (I was only doing aerobic stuff for a long time) and hope this will help.

Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated!

(You look great, by the way, but you already know that)

Thanks!

You look spectacular!!! You are truly an inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing. Whatever healthy changes you made I know you'll be able to continue and maintain. Check out the maintenance thread here. They have great words of experience. (I'm not there yet either, but am nervouse on how to switch from losing to staying.) You must be so proud of yourself. Congratulations!

That is so amazing! For the moment I am a bit stuck at 263, just a bit higher than you started out, and look at you now! I needed a bit of inspiration, and your before pic actually looks a lot like I look now... but what if someday I could look like your after picture too?

Thank you for posting progress pics!!!!
