    I can definitely see a difference, your doing a great job. I am 21 and my highest weight was 230lbs. Ive never been pregnant, so I can honestly say I was heavy because I ate too much and didn't exercise.. rather than having something cute to show for my weight gain. I know how hard it is to show the world your body, I still haven't been able to show my pictures (but I will when i get to my goal).

    Indeed, there's a huge difference there. Well done! That's gotta be a size, at least.

    I definitely see a noticeable difference. You are already a winner by making the decision to do something to improve yourself. This is usually the biggest obstacle for most people. I congratulate you on your success to date and will be here to cheer you on with your future successes.

    Yes! I can totally see an improvement. Remember, you're your own worst critic! Don't be so hard on yourself. Your courage to post those pics has given me the courage I need to get started. I've been on a bit of a downward spiral the last few months. At my heaviest weight ever in my life and need to lose 70 lbs. I'm not much of a social media gal and usually just read posts but don't comment. But I want you to know that you have helped me! Keep at it!

    I can definitely agree with your feelings. In Feb of 2007 after I had my last child I started at 272. Five years later...just weighed in this morning at 192.7. It is a work in progress darlin and will take time. There is definitely a difference in the pics.

    Major difference - way to go!!!! Great job taking the first step to being healthier - it's not about how you look as much as how you feel!!! It's terrific that your husband and kids are helpful and supportive. Best of luck to you - you CAN do this!!

    I tend to like to post things in list form, so here it is:

    1) There is absolutely a difference. Way to go!

    2) You're a lovely woman, no matter what your weight, and I'm sure that's why your husband is still attracted to you. He sounds like a good guy and he knows how lucky he is to have you in his life.

    3) Exercise may be difficult right now, but I assure you, it WILL get easier. Do whatever you can do now, even if it's just five or ten minutes of walking around the block. After awhile you'll notice that won't be difficult at all and you'll want to do even more. I hate exercising with the heat of a thousand suns (except for walking outside - I LOVE that), but I love the rush of endorphins I get after I'm done.

    4) Keep going - you'll get there! It may be a slow and difficult journey, but it will be so worth it. In the meantime, love yourself as you are - and that includes your body. Yes, you may not be happy with the way it looks now, but it's the only body you've got. Treat it well. You're taking care of it. It will reward you for that a million times over.

    I can see a difference, too, especially in your waist area! It will come off when you least expect it, too.

    Yup, I can see a difference too - and only in a couple of weeks - way to go! Good for you. Keep up the good work! :drinker: Cheers!

    And I love that your husband feels that way and actually verbalizes it - that's fantastic - I wish mine would say the same.

    thanks...im very lucky to have him..if it wasnt for the age we live in id have never met him..im orig from ireland and he's American...we met online..im just so thankful to have him in my life

    Don't focus on the past, we are all harder on ourselves than we should be and your husband sounds extremely supportive. Concentrate on how good you feel about yourself and how much you have accomplished. Continue to move forward and you will be down to your goal weight in no time. God Bless!

    i think all of us who need to lose large amounts of weight can really feel your pain. i'm in the process of losing 115-120 lbs. I'm down 43 lbs. as of today, and it is still hard, every day. there are days i don't feel like i've even lost a little bit of weight. but those days are getting fewer and farther between. it'll be the same for you.

    you can do it. hang in there and keep working.

    its not easy..there have been days i get up and just feel ugg and dont want to do anything esp this week as it was "that time of month" but i pushed myself....congrats to you for loosing all that you have..thats wonderful!! be so proud!! and thank you

    Im not a mother so i cant really relate but i will say that yes i can see a difference and i know you can reach your goals. The key i am finding is CONSISTENCY. Dont give up!
