Excellent loss so far! Your pictures are really an inspiration. Wish I'd have had someone take pictures of me at the start to compare to now. I know my clothes are getting too big on me but its hard for me to really "see" the difference.

Keep up the good work!

I check out the before/after pictures and stories most every day and there is usually one that really stands out. Today, it's YOU! You wrote, "I love the new person that I am becoming." Wow! That's truly an awesome statement! You've certainly earned it!

WTG! Keep at it.
There is nothing quite as motivating as the doctors office. I managed to only go to the doctor when REALLY sick for the past 15 yrs (always a different one, etc.) Like yourself, I gained the weight slowly, but steadily. Then in late Feb, 2012 I got an ear infection. And when I went to the "little clinic" - they wouldn't treat me because my blood pressure was too high. So, I found an MD in my network & made the appt. He basically held me hostage at his office for over 3 hours trying to get my bp down or they were sending me to the er. That was a wake up call. Of course, he attributed my bp to my weight. I actually knew it wasn't completely the weight (I work for the state - lots of major stress - and have a dysfunctional drama-filled family with a drug addicted child.) So - lots of stress in my life. But, the only way to show the dr that it wasn't weight related was to lose some weight.
I weighed in that day at 365! That was in mid March. Now, I am at 310. So, 55 lost in 5 months. two new types of bp medicine & it still isn't under control. But, funny thing, as I gained control of my weight (my life) and started changing the way I do things (walking across the parking lot, exercising, etc) somehow it has helped me to handle the chaos. I think part of my eating was the only way I could feel good with all this crap going on around me. And now I have embraced a new way to feel good - by taking care of myself - and it is really a wonderful feeling. I am hoping my next dr visit in oct will show that my bp is under control.
I hope that you are experiencing the same sort of thing and will continue to keep at it. This is going to be a long journey & hopefully a life changing one. I look forward to seeing more pics from you!

60 Days! That's really impressive. You look really different in the face and body. You look great! Keep it up!

This is my first time to post pictures so I hope it works.

Now a little bit about me. I am a 38 yr old wife and mother. I have gained 143 pounds in my 20 years of marriage. I have tried numerous times to lose weight but never accomplished it. I found out in July that my blood sugar was high and my dr wanted to put me on meds. I begged for 3 months to do it without medicine. I met with a dietitian and completely changed my way of life. I love the new person that I am becoming.

I cold turkey gave up regular sodas and sweet tea. I now drink water with an occasional diet drink (maybe 1-2 a week!!). I watch my carbs by eating 35-45 per meal.

I work out on my stationary bike at home. I try to workout 7 days a week but at least 5 days. It is a cheap basic model from Wal-mart.

I am 5'1 and my highest weight that I have documented is 273. As of today I weigh 251. I have lost 22 pounds in 60 days but I have lost inches too.

On to the pictures:

Great job!! I don't have those type of visual results yet, but maybe one day it'll be there! By the way, how do you do the pictures side by side???

I edit the picture. Crop each one and paste beside the others. Then crop them all together. It's just the windows picture software. Nothing special.
