Okay now I feel a little better about the weight I have lost, instead of focusing on why I haven't lost enough yet.

Bon Appetite!

Elladorine, you look amazing! At first, I didn't even notice what you had in your hands. When I did notice...wow. I... Uh.... Wow. I've lost 13 of those!

Wow--I love pictures like this!! I actually have a little "photo album" of shots like this, to look at, when I feel like overeating, to remind myself of the consequences!

This is also encouraging to me since I am having trouble lately with a badly stuck scale but I am getting smaller and wearing smaller size clothes. Of course I knew muscle was smaller than fat but it is nice to see how much of that horrible stuff I have lost!!

I am going to keep on working out, even though it seems to be slowing my weight loss

Great representation of fat. Pictures like this are a fantastic motivatior.

This is so gross! Thanks for the thread. If the 5 pounds isn't bad enough, the 20 pounder is disgusting. For some odd reason, I can't stop staring at them. It's unbelievable that is on my body. Eek! Eek!

I think it's good for us to remember that the weight we've lost isn't all fat...Larger people have muscle they lose too, just because you don't need as much to haul around a larger frame.

So any weight you've lost isn't 100% fat...

That's still a gross picture!
