Halfway there!
 

I'm not at goal yet, still have a little less than 50 pounds to go, but last week I found a "before" picture. I am not sure exactly what weight I was when it was taken, but it was most likely close to my highest... maybe a little less. I wore the same shirt today, and had a co-worker take another photo, same desk and pose. Here is me about 54 pounds lighter.

I am so proud of myself! 54 pounds in 10 months, might not be lightening fast- but it just goes to show that those little losses add up! On to the next 50!

WOW!!!!!! What a difference 54 pounds and 10 months makes! You look mahvelous, dahlin and it couldn't happen to a nicer lowcarber! :yay:

What a great idea to use the same pose, shirt, and hairstyle. The only difference is the eyeglasses and the 54 pounds, and the 54 pounds is a big difference.
asugar :wave:

Weigh to GO!!
 

That's awesome gal! :yay: :Party: :dazzle: :Party: :yay: WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!! I bet it inspires you to see it in comparison! You are inspiration for us all~ Keep up the fabulous work~ :thup:

WOW!
 

Thank you so much for posting your pictures! Isn't it great seeing such a difference---you look wonderful! I like to wander in this section for motivation and I am always rewarded. Congratulations on doing so well!!

<b>Oh my!!</b> That looks like two different people!!! Your face looks totally different!

You look great! Lots of luck and continued success!!!

Wow!! Talon!!

You look half the woman you used to be!! :thup:

Wa'il

Thanks everyone! Yep, my face does look different, it was taking on a puffy, heavy look. The jowls were sagging a bit. They still are a bit, but not near as much as they were. A few people have even said I look younger - which of course I don't mind. :)

In another 10 months or when I reach goal, I'll add that picture too!

WOW!!!! You look fabulous!!!! Wearing that shirt was such an effective way to show just how much you have lost. You look like a different person! Keep up the fabulous work! :cheer:

Halfway there!
 

WOW...you look fantastic!!! How nice it was of you to post those pics. You're an inspiration to us all!!! Great job and keep up the good work. I hope I can be as successful as you. Great job girl!

By the way....that shirt is waaaayyyyyy toooooo big for you now! :D

totally awestruck!
 

I am SOOOO happy for you - and we don't even know each other!!!!

I felt like I was looking in a mirror.....at your 'before' picture... I too have long dark hair, that I wear pulled back, glasses, and weigh about the same.....

I only hope I can look as good as you do when I get that weight!

Thanks so much for sharing! You deserve all the kudos and yahoos!! Keep up the good work!

Impressed and inspired!
 

I can just repeat what the others have been saying! You are really an inspiration to me, and surely many others! I will keep your great job in mind, when (if??) I start feeling cranky about the long road yet to walk....

You look great!
 

What a difference you should be so proud of your accomplishment, not that weight is what we are all about but.... WOW! :cheer: :cheer:

Oh

GOSH!

Wonderful Job!

Talon -


WOW WOW WOW WOW !!!!

You look great!! Congrats on your success ! I like how you tried to "duplicate" the pic - (with the only thing different being the amount of you!) You are an inspiration - thanks for posting it!

Thanks everyone! If I can do this, every one of us can do it. I've never been able to stay on a "diet". Part of it was I was always hungry, part of it was using food as a comfort, or a reward for doing good. I had to examine why I turned to food when I was stressed or upset, gave myself "time limits" where I would go eat something high in fat (cheese and such) and then later I wouldn't even be hungy. Sometimes I would mistake thirst for hunger, and taking a good swig or two of water would help.

Yep, the types and amounts of food was a problem, but the mental part I think was/is the most of it.

Stick with it!
