Looking for Motivation: Girls starting around 250 with 50 or more pounds lost

motivatedshi

Can I get some pictures for motivation please. Im at 250 right now, and Im trying to loose 50 pounds, just getting started (again), and think seeing progress will motivate me to stick to it this time!

I don't have a current full body picture but I started at 237 and as of today I'm down to 182.2. This is my face comparison from October 2014 to last week:


This was my "before and during" picture from the beginning of November. At that point I was down about 38 lbs.


I've been losing pretty slowly, I think I'm averaging about .75 lbs lost per week now but it's adding up. Sometimes I can't believe that I've actually managed to stick with it long enough to lose almost 55 lbs!

Check through the other threads in this forum, including the sticky posts at the top. One is a compilation of success stories. There's another one right now on page 1 about "huge losses", I just posted my pics there, so won't repost here.

I'm 5'4.5" and was 260 lbs in Dec 2011/Jan 2012. I'm around 133 lbs right now (132.8 on the scale this morning).

I've got more pictures and info here:

You can totally do this!! It seems really daunting and it'll take longer than you want it to, but it's all worth it in the end to be healthy

I started losing weight in 2011/2012 at my highest weight of 240 pounds (I'm 5'8"). It has taken me almost 6 years, but a lot of life has happened in between. Luckily, I didn't gain when I took breaks during the time period. My after photos are all about 65 pounds down. I have since lost another 15 pounds, but I don't have any recent pictures.

Best of luck to you!!!
