This is the only picture I could find of me at my heaviest. I was 236lbs in this photo. I look like I'm smelling doo-doo! lol, not to mention I have no make-up on...such an embarssing photo



During:
Down to 156lbs here (taken last week sometime)




These are "during" photos since I'm not quite where I want to be yet. I have 10lbs to get to my healthy weight range but I'm thinking I would like to lose 20 - 25lbs total from where I'm at now.

Hmmmm, 80lbs and it doesn't look that much different
...oh well...I look healthier right? LOL
Not much different...are you kidding me?! You look 1,000 times better!!! Good work I know how tough it is to post the old pics!

Well, I think that is due to the fact that I didn't have my hair or make-up done in the first pic.

Thank you everyone for the compliments. It is SO HARD to see myself as anything but that fat person in the first picture.

If anyone knows how to change your own perception of yourself please let me know!

LadyKLO- That doctor probably saved your life! Everyone should have a doctor like him that tells the truth regardless of how harsh it may seem- regardless if it is about weight or something else. I am so proud of you and how far you have cames

And same with the others who have posted their results. All of you are so brave in sharing your success with us. Thank you

I'm updating this thread to show my weight loss so far this year. My previous post shows my weight loss as of last year.

I have finally lost 100 lbs after two years!
I still have a bit of a ways to go - about 50-60 lbs or so. I'm determined to get under 200 lbs by my birthday later this year. I still have a huge belly which I know will be the last to go, but it's smaller than it used to be.

Here are a few 'before' pics when I was about 350 lbs on a 5'11'' frame. Don't I look happy :





And here are some pics I took last week. I just bought this size XL shirt a month ago and it's practically a tent on me right now:
