    You look great! Congratulations!

    I understand feeling shameful about how you look - it was a shocking picture that started me on this journey. I am grateful for the wake-up call! (But not necessarily for the lingering evidence...)

    Awesome job! I know the feeling all too well of missing out on family memories via pics... I am sad every day that I don't have pics of me with my kids...but I am too ashamed of how I look. But you are doing an AWESOME job and keep up the good work - looking forward to seeing the next pics you post! Thanks for sharing! :-D

    Congratulations!!! I think you look great- and you're right, I have been feeling kind of guilty about getting so inspired by everyone else's pics and being too embarrassed to post my own. Good job with the weight loss and the courage! You are one inspiring lady!

    if it's any consolation, you've got a lot more courage than i have. you won't even find me putting a profile pic on here, and even on my facebook there is only 1 pic of me which somebody else put up.

    that said, i now wish i had taken a pic of me at my very heaviest just to use as a comparison.

    so anyway, you're doing great.

    You are doing awesome. There is no reason to be embarrassed. You realized where you were at and did something about it. You are almost down below 200 and that is fantastic. Keep up the great work and keep me posted!

    You look fantastic!!! there is a glow about you in the 'after' picture. you shouldn't have been embarrassed we all have the same common denominator and that is to lose weight and when you achieve success you should SHOW IT TO THE WORLD. Once again congrats on your weight loss.

    Today is an awesomely wonderful day. My daughter came with my two grandsons (ages 4 and 2) and we spent the day cavorting about. They just left for their two hour drive home and I popped into MFP to found all these responses and supportive comments from so many people. You have truly made my day! Thank you to everyone! :heart: :heart: :heart:

    What IN THE WORLD are you embarassed about???? You look FABULOUS! Absolutely nothing to worry about. ;c)

    I'm 54, 5'9", and have lost 52 pounds since last Nov., with 28 to go. I'm really focused on cooking well (I'm from New Orleans), so please feel free to add me if you would like to share recipes, menus, and inspiration. ;c)

    You have clearly made a difference and while you are not yet where you want to be, you are no longer where you once were. This is a journey that will continue for the rest of your life. Hold your head high over what you've already accomplished. There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about.

    Ditto. You keep moving forward. . . until you get the cute cowgirl belt. :)

    You are looking great! I, personally, am very proud of you for posting the pictures even though you are embarrassed. It takes a LOT of courage to hold your breath and jump into the deep... and even more to admit that you are embarrassed and work your behind off to chance :D!!! 3 cheers to your hard work!
