I'd like to see an idea of how I may look along the way (i've never been average, always really over weight).. thinking it'll help with some motivation. Please share your success! Also, what is your goal weight? Thank you in advance (:

    Started out at 356, give or take when the pic on the left was taken. Right now I'm about 288, think I was about ten pounds heavier when the pic on the right was taken :)

    No problem! I was *shocked* by the difference after the first 40 or 50 pounds. I didn't really think anything of it until I saw those pics side by side. Good luck!!

    AbberBabber, you look great!
    I'm starting at 356 but have only dropped 20 but I do notice a giant difference! Okay maybe not giant but good enough!

    That's kind of what I'm hoping for as well.. It doesn't have to be a big difference. Actually, I could care less if anyone else even notices LOL. I just don't want to be one of those people who lose 50lbs and can't tell at all.. I've lost about 20 so I guess I'll find out after 30 more pounds.

    I'm 5' 5.5" and I started at 343, although my highest was 348. My current pic is at 273, and you can see some of the earlier pics in my profile...there is a big difference in my face, and I now have collar bones I haven't seen in years! If my calves weren't so damn big, I could officially say I've gone from a size 24 (tight) to a size 18 (tight) in jeans.

    My goal is set at 150, but I will do a cartwheel when I get under 200 for the first time in my working memory.

    I actually topped the scales at 294, so a bit lower than you're asking for, but here is a link to see a sort of timeline of my progress.

    I'm 5'10" btw

    I started at 485 a year ago. I went to that website and found that they don't have any women of my size range so I decided to add myself to the database so that other women that are tall and heavy can see... I'm always open for friends. I've lost 50+ lbs in the last year, and 24 since starting with MFP.

    ... I still wear the same clothes I did when I weighed 50 pounds more than now. It's convenient but sucks. You can see a lot of change to my figure but I haven't really changed that much regarding clothes. Coworkers are pestering me about it cuz I keep changing but I see the scale and the tape measure and just go WTF
