Okay I've been wanting to do this for awhile, only I'm a coward and my before picture is so embarrasing that it's hard for me to post it.  Also I'm afraid people will recognize me or something.  But anyway, I thought it was about time to do this.

Before- about 240lbs

 

Now- 193lbs as of yesterday

Why! You look so beautiful. I know how hard it is to loose just 12 pounds and you did much more... Excellent work!

Wow!

I remember you saying in my diary that you wish you could lose weight as quickly as me. Well...that seems to me like quite a dramatic difference for 47 pounds! I wish I looked as different after 47 pounds as you do. :grin:

Great work! Keep smilin'!!! :smile:

Incredible.  The difference is stunning.  Looks like two different women.  Cute dimples.  Don't know how to complete sentences...

yep yep that is correct. god love the body i have, but he should have donated a little more to that region for me. i maybe would like my shape more if i felt more balanced from top to bottom. in fact i would safely say that if i were proportioned a bit more i would not want to change my shape because i would be the rubinesque shape i like, and respect instead of super skinny models. I like women who have a shape and curves, and i think i have an excellent potential to be that, but 20 more pounds off will balance my upper and lower much better.

uh huh yeah i know...but dont say its just cuz you are a man and its in your nature. please. we all like the human form! its beautiful, its just the difficulty in saying it that we get into trouble. expression and flattery is a good thing and should be used, heard and shared often to keep the spirit up and the endorphins flowing. it keeps one light on their feet and perhaps their heads in the clouds instead of chin on the ground. Celebrate what and who we are!:wink::star::sun::shooting_star::heart::clover:

Lookin' great!

There are many people on this site that truly inspire me, but you really rank up there, because I know how long you've worked to get to this point, and that you've fallen off the wagon many times, but gotten back on in the long run. It takes real preserverance to keep going for as long as you have, even when you're trying, but not getting the results you want.

Fantastic job on your progress. I'm rooting for you!!! :smile:

Wow, what a beauty! You look like a moviestar. Congratulations. It seems your 'Once upon a time' is now again for you. Fantastic!

I am haunted by my 'once upon a time' photos. They are so good. I will stop at nothing to get back. -Derek

Wow! Well done. That is really inspiring for me, because your shape at 177 is a lot like mine, and seeing how great you look at 155 is going to motivate me to keep on the straight and narrow.

What an achievement! Congrats! x

I just thought I'd chime in to this post since it's called "halfway there".

I started at 242, with a goal weight of 180. (62 lbs to lose).

I am currently at 211 having lost 31 lbs, and I am HALF-WAY THERE too!

You guys are doing AWESOME!!!!

This board is amazing & so motivating to all of us to stick with our plans in order to reach our goals.

I meet my weight goals with the FL4I plan back in March ~ then needed to tone up & switch over to more of a long term way of eating & maintaining. I found it & it is working..have maintained plus lost a bit more & toned up considerably!!!

My one huge nutritional change/addition has been Shakeology ~ I love it & feel it has made huge difference in my energy level & stopped my cravings for sweets & coffee!!! If you want more info on it PM me or check out my blog at fitcountrychic.com

Now my new goal...sticking with it ~ results are the key to anything...seeing them keeps you motivated!

Have an amazing day everyone!!
