    I actually think you look rather pretty in your before photos. I had expected to see a vastly overweight woman when I scrolled down to see it, but you look absolutely lovely and barely overweight. I can't imagine how 49 pounds LOWER would look - are you sure you have done your sums right?

    You are such a pretty and attractive young woman - 49 pounds LESS would surely make you significantly UNDER weight. I'm all for active encouragement but in this instance I wouldn't want to say Good Luck if it meant encouraging a woman to lose another 49 pounds when 14 would almost certainly result in perfection. Sometimes it is so hard to start a diet and knowing when to stop is equally difficult.

    Isn't it funny how we see ourselves so negatively? You look lovely in both pics and you don't think you do!
