I was going to wait until I was at 180, but I got impatient and decide to snap another round at 183 instead. But even so, I can see a difference. I'm not saying that I look good or anything, but I can tell that something is happening, and I'm liking what I see.

Which is good, since I just came back from vacation, and I'm sure I gained a couple of pounds. But even if I did, the difference I'm seeing in my photos is giving me a new sense of motivation to get back on track!

You look GREAT! And yes, there is definitely progress showing. Well done!

Wow, I can see a big difference! GOOD for you

i can see a lot of progress... i'm also an impatient type of gal..

congrats on your progress!

You look great, Annie! I am laughing at your comments about the blue dress. Hey it is definitely getting LOOSE on you now.

I have an outfit I think of like that too. I wore it to church and had my friend take my progress pictures... it was at 273 pounds. When I saw the pix I was horrified and thought "Yike! I will NEVER wear this blouse again!" Talk about showing off my big, fat stomach!! And not long enough to cover it.

Well... the other day I was looking for something to wear and dragged out the blouse and tried it on. Yay! It is VERY loose and comes way down over my stomach because it is not all taken up with so much mega-boobs, although they are still plenty big! I am wearing the blouse but now it is really too big for me. HA! I won!

Hey, you know this would make a fun thread title... have everyone display their most dreadful outfits from the past

Annie, you're such an inspiration! It seems you'v kept your sense of humor through it all , even though I'm sure you've had tough times!! Keep it up, girl!

Annie -- I was waiting for you to update! You are just SHRINKING! I think you look great!!!!! (you will conquer that stupid blue dress yet!)

Though, I understand completely about looking at side views of yourself. I still look at mine and think CRIPES! How can I still be that fat! I too, wish people could just see me from the front. At least we are shrinking and no more umbrella tummies!

Annie - you look fantastic, your positive attitude is an inspiration to all here. Well done!

You can really see the difference! Congrats and WTG!

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the support. I still can't see a difference in myself looking in a mirror, but I can looking at the photos. Weird, huh? And now I'm kinda glad I never burned that awful blue dress. I'm really curious how it will look during my next rounds of pics!

You've made a lot of progress, I can really see a difference, esp. in the blue dress pictures. That dress might be horrible but it does provide a really good comparison. Soon it is going to be hanging off you and you'll have to get a smaller one to use for comparisons!

I also really like the new hairstyle; it looks great!

The brown shirt/black skirt out fit is WAY cute! Your weight loss has a drastic visual impact! Congrats, you're doing so well.

I've noticed that the right bra can make or break an outfit.

Looking good! It always take pictures to make me realize how much I have gained - I still see my thinner self in the mirror - sigh.

great progress!
