I wanted to post my before photo along with a current photo so I could show my progress so far. I'm 120 lbs down from my highest weight. I lost 100 lbs before getting pregnant with my youngest daughter, but I gained some back during and after pregnancy. I've lost another 50 since January, so about 150 lbs total.

I still have a long way to go (I don't have a set number, but probably another 50-60 lbs), and sometimes it feels like I'm not getting anywhere. Looking at this comparison helps me see that I really have come a long way and motivates me to stick to it.

    Well done! You look completely different - I would not have picked you as the same person in the different pictures unless they had been posted together here. Congratulations on what you have done and keep on working for your last leg of the race to maintenance land :)

    Yeah, I don't see much of a difference between these two pictures, except for maybe YOU DIDN'T HAVE A JAWLINE BEFORE! Holy mackerel, girl -- you're so completely changed -- your face has new angles and you have a waist now -- you have to see the differences! Amazing work. Keep it up!

    Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate all of the kind words and encouragement.

    I can definitely see a difference between the two photos, I just feel like I've been in a rut lately. Seems like I lose and gain the same 5 lbs over and over.

    I do feel like I look younger now, though. I looked pretty rough in that first pic lol.

    You'll use up a lot of calories, if you always pat yourself on the back as often as you deserve. Superb Job! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I don't know what you did, but u did it WELL! you are such an inspiration for those just getting started!
    Don't give up, and if you hit a plateau, its usually common after losing a significant amount of weight.
    Congratulations! you look so beautiful! :)
