Here are some photo's showing a 42 lb loss... I think there is definitely a difference but it doesn't look as drastic as 42 lb. I'm a little disappointed with the difference but I still have a way to go and can definitely see improvement even though it's less than I thought it would be.

Before
Front, side and back view

Sorry to anyone who doesn't wanna see me in a bikini :P just think clothes hide too much, this is better for accurate photos of results.

When I first started dieting I looked at lots of drastic before and afters but my advice would be not to compare yourself to others. Everybody will see different results and that's okay.

I still have 23lbs to go still hoping to see a bigger result :)

    Mid blink and it looked scary! although the scribble is probably just as bad.

    Thanks so much :) It's taken me a long time to accept my bum, I spent years hating it but as I lose weight I find myself accepting it more.

    I'm so happy to inspire people! I'm still overweight and according to bmi I have another 23lb to go before I'm a healthy weight. But it's so nice to know it's a smaller mountain to climb than when I first started. If i can do it you can! x
