We might not be quite at "success" yet (or maybe some of you are) ... but we're making progress, even if we don't always feel like we're making progress. And sometimes the pictures can tell the tale.
So let's see the progress you're making ...
PS. I see some of you have progress pics in your profiles.

January 2015: Before ... and actually, I gained a couple kg after that photo was taken and before I started with MFP (mid-Feb).
April 2015: After losing about 10 kg ...
September 2015: Getting close to "after" ... I'm not quite at my goal yet.

I had to dig to find some pics. I don't really like photos being taken of me, so I just looked at my mom's FB page (lol).
Before, in my early twenties. Probably not my largest, not really sure. Definitely before I could beard, and before I stopped wearing contacts (allergies make contacts difficult now).
After. This was just about two or three years ago (so 28-29 years old). I'm in the middle. The rest of them are my ALL my siblings. Still had about 30 lbs to lose at that point.
Mother's day this year. That's my nephew, and my step-daughter (I miss her dearly). He'll be one this week, and she'll be six in a bit less than a month.
Last week. About 13 pounds off from when I started logging, already a visible difference (for me). And a notably nicer beard.
I really want to wear that Saved by the Bell shirt again. Tiffani Amber Thiessen.
I forgot how much better I looked at that weight. It's a great motivator. Visible biceps and triceps without flexing? Yes please! Way better than the flab I replaced it with. And shoulders so sharp I could put an eye out. ;D
I know how and why I let myself go... but why the hell did I let myself go? XD0 -
3 stone down another 2 to go, recently been on al all inclusive holiday and put on 8 bloody pounds!!! all my weigh came from having 2 girls in 13 months!0 -
Looking good VykkDraygoVPR and leahcollett1.
And thank everyone
Soon, I want to start working on my upper body. I have fairly decent muscle tone in my legs, but my arms are spindly twigs.
BTW - one of the reasons I started this thread is because I have had a lot of trouble seeing any change. When I look at myself in the mirror, I see the same person as when I started. It wasn't until my husband took those photos of me on the beach last weekend that it really hit me ... there has been a change! It does help to compare "now" with "then". 0 -

Thanks! Same to you. And there definitely is a difference, so don't keep fooling yourself with the mirror.
I don't have trouble seeing the small changes during the journey, but I didn't realize just how much weight I had regained until I saw that pic. I mean, 30-40 pounds doesn't sound like a lot, but it sure looks like a lot. Imma have to keep at it and keep a better photo log this time. Far more useful than I imagined.0 -
Good job, keep it up,
BTW I love biking as well. Lol0 -
Warning! All these pictures suck because I'm just not very good at taking "selfies". Kids these days, am I right?
Before: 9 months ago I was at 231 lbs, and not very happy with my body. I was "sucking it in" to the best of my abilities.
After: At 175, I'm still not at my goal, but I'm lighter than I've ever been. I'm also a lot happier and don't mind looking at myself in the mirror. c:

This is my profile pic but you'll be able to see it clearer here. Started at about 220 but didn't take a pic until about 210? Current pic is 187. Still got about 30lbs to go at least but I am over half way to that goal, yippee!

I actually
lost weight, gained weight, got pregnant and then started this journey between these pics. I was around 225 in the first pic (the most I've weighed not pregnant) and around 175 now in the 2nd pic.0 -

This is not a true before picture, it's from a few years ago. It's me, 20 pounds lighter than my highest weight, with no exercise. When I was that weight this time, I had a smaller body. During picture taken today. I have 30 pounds until goal, 13 until I'm no longer an overweight BMI.

Some massive/impressive changes in this thread. good work people.0

Soo much amazingness going on here!
These 'befores' are screenshots from a video when I had asked someone to film me doing pushups and squats to check my form. I was not even at my largest! I put on another 10kg/20lbs after this. I don't even know how I walked.
Lost about 89ish lbs I think, I work in kilos. About 25kg/50lbs to go.

I'm amazed by the effort and results so many have put in! I decided to share mine, though I'm very much a work in progress. I've lost just over 50 lbs, and my initial goal is a 90 lb loss (270 to 180). I'll reassess where I'm at health and fitness-wise at 180.
I'm rather psyched that I'm getting my face back.
((See? My face!!))
