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

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.

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!

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!

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!
