I was playing around on facebook today; I decided to go through my profile pictures. I found these, along with quite a few others, and they really shocked me. I've heard people say "you never see just how big you really are until you lose weight." I didnt think it was true until today. I really had no clue I was, at one time, this big. I know I was over 260lbs in this picture (heavier than my highest MFP recorded weight...)

I'm at about 160 now, but I've gained about 15lbs back since starting depo (and binging again...but i'm battling it) and I havent been doing too well with eating lately, so maybe this is just the motivation I needed to get it back off and eat right again! :happy:

    Those are amazing progress pictures! You have to be so proud of yourself. Keep those pictures of where you were, where you've been and where you'll never go again.

    I am just starting on my journey and sometimes it is disheartening to think that even after I reach my goal... which I WILL... that it will still be a battle. I do wish that I had noticed what I was doing to my body when I got to 165-170 pounds and dropped it then... but that will be the new me and the new lifestyle. Congrats on your success and recognizing what adjustments you want to make.

    Thank you so so much!!! It took about 2.5 years since the start date. I have a TON of excess skin... to the point of where it hurts me when I exercise (especially running). I have soooo much on my tummy, thighs, and upper arms. they say time takes it away and i sure hope that is the truth!
