    WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Just looked through 15 pages of utter motivation!!!! You are all absolutely amazing & like you've gotten a new lease of life - all looking so much happier!!! I've been practically brought to tears - it's just so motivating & uplifting to see so many people change so dramatically & my cat has been giving me funny looks just because I kept gasping "Wow!!!!" every few minutes!!!

    It's pretty late in the UK where I am but seeing you all makes me wanna Zumba through the night!!! I'm only at the very, very start of my journey with 70lbs to shed but I really hope I can do the same as you guys & be that successful!!!

    I cannot get enough of seeing these success stories & photos - would love to see more so am bumping this!!!!

    High fives & whoop-whoops to you all :drinker:
  • I can't wait to become a success story like all of you!!

    I've looked at all the post and pictures and it has motivated me for 2013. You girls and guys look absolutely amazing and happy. You have all lost so much weight. I feel embarrassed to think I can't drop these 25 pounds. Well you all have got me motivated to get off my duff and get it done. I hope to post my picture next year.

    Congrats to ALL!!!!!!

    I have before and during pictures! Also, a pretty cool picture of me before I gained weight and one of me now that I'll happily post!

    Here is my before. These pictures are what made me move into actually wanting to work out. They're all from my boyfriend's sister's wedding. I was 220 lbs

    298293_10150363153501535_330269615_n.jpg

    Here I am when I reached 199:
    334708_10151044992251535_897929884_o.jpg

    And lastly, the comparison photo. Before I gained weight, I held steady at 180 lbs, I never worked out, and I never watched what I ate. In this photo, the side of me at 180 is before, and the side with me at 188.9 is right now. I love how much better I look despite being 8.9 lbs heavier than I was before I started

    I hate that I had to take it in the bathroom mirror, too, but we no longer have a full-length mirror, and this was the closest thing to it.

    Hopefully resizing the last photo worked...
  • I would so be proud that. Thats wonderful! congratulations

    you upload them to photobucket or a similar site, and use the IMG code. But before you hit reply, you change the IMG to img. Make sure it's lower case or it won't post!

    it took a long time to convince myself to post this...but here goes:

    I'm not to my goal yet, and sometimes it's hard for me to even see if I've made any progress at all, but I think I'm just having some body image issues and being way too hard on myself...hopefully :P

    The progress is easy to see in my opinion. You look amazing.

    I just spent an hour going through this entire post and ... WOW.. amazing! I'm on my third and final attempt to reach my goal weight, and as they always say, the third time's a charm! Everyone has/is doing such a fantastic job. You should all be very proud of yourself. And you are very motivating and inspiring to everyone else! :) Happy New Year!
