Lovely pics - you look so happy which is great to see. But, you have a hell of waist now that wasn't in the first pic - great work.

Now that second picture is what I call a REAL little black dress! Wow, what a waistline! You look marvelous. Honestly, you look very happy (and very pretty) in both pictures, but I love that you are a HEALTHY happy now. The best gift you can give that wonderful husband of yours is YOUR health! Think of how many more years you will have together now that you've changed your life!

Congratulations on your weight loss, your body looks amazing - such a little waist!

Look after yourself though - in the thin picture your face looks tired and fragile. The happy light you had in your eyes in the 'fat' picture has gone. I hope you're ok.

It was a long day, work, shopping & a killer headache. Thanks for your concerns, I see now that I looked pale. I was so excited about the dress I didn't fresh'n my face before the photo. Oh and teenage daughter was taking the pic and hurrying me because she had to stop gaming LOL! This summer I'll do it again and have more freckles! Thanks again.

You look wonderful! Thanks for posting this. I have a little black dress of my own that I've been waiting since last March to buy. It's on the shopping list for February when I expect to hit my goal.:)

I've posted my success story before but I wanted to share a different comparison this time. I reached my ultimate goal in November 2011. I began at 244 lbs, I wouldn't even think about putting on a little black dress. There aren't any pics like that.

In 2009 I married the most amazing man and wore my only "little black dress" a size 18-20 (1st pic - 214 lbs). I thought I was looking good and it WAS the best of days. I love him more everyday and he has been the most amazing support. Loved me chubby, loves me thinner.

Today I went shopping and found a truly "little black dress" size 10 (2nd pic - 152 lbs). Turns out that my idea of little then is not my idea of little now. On the inside I am happy in both pics but in the 2nd pic, I am happy AND healthy.

If you are just starting or partly thru your journey, IT IS POSSIBLE! Make the commitment and NO MATTER WHAT - DO NOT GIVE UP! I live one day at a time, one meal at a time, one bite at a time. Whatever it takes to live to my full potential and be healthy while doing it. I have made a lifelong lifestyle change and I'll never go back.

I wish each of you health, strength & happiness!
