@bmeadows380 you’ve done amazingly well, I think you look fab and you have a beautiful smile.
Loving all the pics here today!0 -
@fatoldladyonamission Thank you!
@evilfairies Oh yes, I do have that problem! Since I recently moved, I had to get an updated driver's license made to reflect my new address. WV makes you get a new photocard when you change your address (unlike PA which just gave me a change of address card to carry with my license). Since I was getting one that was for federal identification too, they gave me a temporary card to carry until the real one came in. The same thing happened when I first moved back to WV in 2015, and while sorting through some papers, I stumbled across that temporarily license and compared to the one done a month ago. I don't see much of a difference when I'm looking in a mirror, but I definitely saw it when I had those two photos side by side!0 -

About 100 pound difference12 -
Body pics, I actually didn’t take one til I had lost about 35 pounds. (Gained 25 or so back last summer/fall that I’m working on losing9 -
To me it’s therapeutic to look back at photos of myself before. I say damn, I’ve made such progress. It makes me motivate that much harder to never go back. My don’t wanna go back photo is below.

I truly, really have no desire to become vain, but at the same time, it is so strange and yet so exciting to actually be able to wear stylish clothes and to feel like I'm actually somewhat attractive - to look at the person in the mirror and think they actually look nice instead of being ashamed and cringing! I've been obese for so long that even when I dressed up to try to look nice, I hated seeing my reflection because I felt like I was painting a cow.
I took my mother out to dinner and a movie, and we stopped at Gabes where I bought the jacket in the pics below as well as a skirt and a couple of tops. When I came out with the skirt on, my mother comments "you have a butt!" which is her way of saying "you have a shape!" After the movie, I went into to a store to get us some drinks while she waited in the truck, and when I came out, she commented "you've gotten prissy." I tried to blame my new high-heeled boots and they make me walk more "girly" but she says that no, that I'm walking "like a woman" instead of the way I usually walk.
She means I actually looked feminine tonight, and it threw her, I think I think she actually really realized I had lost a lot of weight! It felt really nice, though, to be able to feel feminine, even if only for a little while - after all, I'm still a tom boy and have no desire to dress up all the time lol
I also bought the fedora tonight as well because I'm developing a fondess for hats

and 1 more because I'm ecstatic about this one!
I bought this dress the last time I lost weight in 2012 or 2013. I had taken my parents to Lancaster and we went to a Celtic festival there. When I bought the dress, I was still unable to wear it, but hung it up in my room for months, intending for it to be motivation to lose enough weight to get into it. But then life happened and I gained the weight back, and ended up putting the dress in the back of my closet.
Back at Christmas I saw that I was getting close to getting into it, and mom challenged me to try it again, so I did. Tonight, the dress fit! Now the top is still a fudge tight for my tastes, but it wasn't pulling across my chest and I could easily slip it on and off by myself, and it hung right, so technically, it fits.
I had a corset on in the pic just to try to hold my muffin top in because of how the dress lays, but my problems before were with how the top fit across the boobs and shoulders - but they weren't stretching the dress tonight, so I think I can finally declare myself into it. I am beside myself on this one! Finally, after 5 years, I got into it! *does a happy dance*
