Yet another before & after pic post

xonophone

So the first picture is the one taken in December, by a very considerate friend, as I was eating one of her amazingly delicious homemade chocolate truffles. She posted it, as well as several others, on facebook! I was absolutely mortified! And thoroughly disgusted with myself, so much so that I used it as my MFP profile photo to keep myself motiviated until I couldn't stand looking at myself anymore.

The second photo is me, 6 months later and truffle-free since that god-awful photo, wearing something I never thought I would ever wear in public again especially at 40+ years old!

Here goes...please be kind....:blushing:






Edited to say I don't know why only my legs are in the second photo nor do I know how to change it But you can see the whole photo on my profile if you are interested.

Wonderful job!! You need to post your weight loss so your ticker shows it! I'm very impressed. I hope in 6 months I can even wear a swimsuit, let alone a 2 piece. You look great. (yeah I know 6 months from now it will almost be December, but if I get that small I don't care, I''ll wear one and go jump in the snow! hahaha!!)

Thanks everyone - I truly appreciate your generous feedback!!! My MFP journey started in December, about one or two weeks before the trufflepicture was taken. I was at a mini family reunion, wearing a new outfit that I thought I looked good in, and when I saw the photos (two of my cousins are professional photographers) I literally cried. That very weekend, I found the MFP app on my ipod touch while hanging out in the hotel room. I have been diligent ever since. I could not possibly have done it without this website and all the forums/message boards filled with helpful information, friendly feedback and suggestions by this wonderfully kind group of people I like to refer to as the MFP Family. I have tried to lose weight by counting calories before, the old fashioned way with a calorie count book, a calculator and pencil & paper. It was so tedious that I gave up, and the 7 pounds I lost that way came back and they brought friends. MFP is not the only weight loss website out there, but it is the one that I stand by and will continue to lose for as long as I am able.

Best of luck to all of you who are on your way to your goals - I KNOW you will get there and I can't wait to see your before & after pics too! :flowerforyou:

You look stunning, well done on your acheivement. You were so right to tackle the weight problem when you did, because once you hit your 50's it's even harder to lose. Brilliant, well done again x
