    Thanks for sharing your success story with us. Your transformation is remarkable and so are you! I wish you all the best in losing the last 10lbs you want to lose.

    Whether our own goals are 10, 20, 50, 60, 100 or 100plus.. it is inspiring stories like yours that show us ...with hard work and dedication one CAN attain their desired goals. We are all creatures of habit and habits can change to form new ones as we travel along on our journey.... we just need to want it and believe we are worth it! And that is what you did... congrats!!!

    All the best

    **and regarding the pics... they are not different that some posting bikini pics or skimpy shirt/shirt pics.. I think many will view your pics with the value of "dedication and success" as they were intended!! Congrats!!

    That deserves a round of applause! :smile: You look great. Thank you so much for sharing. All these success stories truly inspire me to keep going. Sometimes when I start to get discouraged and start thinking I will never make it to a "normal" weight I pop on here and get refocused on why I am doing what I am doing. Thank you again!

    You look wonderful!! When I read the text about the excess skin, I was prepared to see a lot of it. Even with you mentioning it, I didn't really see any!

    Thank you so much for posting these. My beginning stats are very similar to yours. The before pic looks so familiar. It's so inspiring to see someone with such a similar shape end with such a great body!

    I'm fairly new here, and this is the first time I've heard of an issue with picks taken in underwear. I'm a bit confused. What is the appropriate attire for taking before and after pics? Especially when you really want to show the difference in a person's body. I haven't had the nerve to take any pics of myself in less than shorts and t-shirt, but I was thinking about it. Now I'm a bit leary to do so...

    CONGRATS!!!

    You look fantastic! And? You give me hope... I can't wait to say that I'm half the woman I once was - which I didn't know if other people "figured" out, since not many people can say that (both because you have to have been rather large to even accomplish that but then you have to be amazing and successful too). My latest frustration has been that nothing seems to go away on the bottom half of my body... and I've been wondering if my legs will ever get smaller. So - immediately I identified with your starting photos and looked at your after/current photos to see -- is it possible?!? I guess - just THANK YOU for sharing. I needed to see this success story today! :)

    Thanks for posting this. I'm 5'8 and started at 302 (size 28) - aiming for 165 and found this story so inspiring to see it really can be achieved. I would love to get to 150. Congratulations!!! You look fantastic and I am so happy for you. I'm off to measure myself now. You were very inspiring.:flowerforyou:

    You look wonderful. Fantastic transformation. You should be super proud of what you set your mind to do and how beautiful you look now. Best of luck losing the last few pounds

    Thanks for posting those photos and for sharing your story. The pics don't seem to show the excess skin (a worry I have for when I achieve the loss I'm aiming for). Stories like yours are super inspirational for those of us relatively new in our weight loss journey...to show what can be done with perseverance and motivation.

    What did you do besides obviously watch what you were eating?

    you look awesome, great job.

    regarding the pics I think MFP doesn't allow underwear pics so don't be surprised if it gets removed they do it to almost everyone. I hope they don't. No different than a bikini.
