I am halfway to my goal and although I am cringing as I add these photos, I believe it is the right thing to do. I read the ‘Success Stories’ every day and love seeing everyone’s photos. I think it only fair that I bite the bullet and post my own ‘during’ photos (even though I am embarrassed!!)
Things I always want to know: height 5’5”, age 40, time taken: a year (I have PCOS and am not very fast at losing!)
Here we are – 71lbs down. For the record I can see the weight loss when I look at these photos, but when I look in the mirror - not so much!!

I love seeing the photos of the before and afters. Looking at yourself in the mirror everyday is hard to tell if you have lost weight because you don't really see. The only way I knew I was thin was when I gained some of the weight back on which is why I am on this site.
Keep up the good work and its awesome to see and be inspired0 -
You look great! I know it's not easy with PCOS and you mangaged to lose more than 1 lb a week!!! Keep up the great work.0

wow! Great job, you're looking good!0

You look fabulous! And the reason YOU aren't seeing the weight loss in the mirror is because your brain is trained to see someone they aren't/haven't been happy with. I know that I'll be the same way when I can see the loss in pictures, but look in the mirror and still see a fat, unhealthy woman.
Keep your chin up...and keep at it! You are looking fabulous...and will only continue to look more fabulous the more you lose! ^_^

with the weight loss you actually look younger too! excellent progress so far, slow and steady wins the race. you go girl!0

You look fabulous! Be proud of what you have accomplished!
Also, our brains are REALLY good at deceiving us about what we look like (among many other things). I am constantly reminded of the woman I worked with in 1976. She was so proud of the fact that she weighed only 76 pounds but still thought she was fat! Her brain saw a fat person when she looked in the mirror. She looked like a concentration camp victim- or worse. So keep that in mind when you look into a mirror and see a fat person! Trust your friends, photos (somehow that helps us distance from the image), people here, your doctor, the measuring tape, the scale to a point, but not your brain.0 -
Great job!!! I love seeing the "Success Stories" also! So thank you very much for sharing yours...0

You shouldn't be embarrassed, but PROUD!!! You've accomplished so much and you're an inspiration! I have a lot to lose (at least 80more) and it really inspires me to see success stories from people who have lost a lot!0
