Hey All!
I have been stalled out for WEEKS, and needed to give myself alittle boost! I have been getting compliments a lot lately, and because I see myself every day, I can't see that big of a difference, so I thought I'd see if the pics would help. When I started on MFP in April of this year, I weighed 270. As of today I am stuck here at 228, trying to work through this wonderful plateau I'm at :grumble: Didn't think I'd post pics only half way through, but I need some encouragement myself, so here it goes...
I resized so hopefully these are large, if they are I apologize, second time posting a pic
This is me around 265 in 2010
Me around 255 in Sept 2011
* I went up to 270 inbetween sept 2011 and april 2012, don't have a pic from that exact time.
This is me now at 228, still a long way to go, but I think a definite improvement :happy:
Here are my facials, I guess my cheeks look a bit smaller lol
2010
2011 (dressed up for 30's murder mystery night)
And me now September 2012
As frustrated as I may get I will never give up and go back to the girl in the first picture. I am a changed person and I know that even though my body may be being stubborn at the moment, if I keep putting one foot forward and keep on pushing, I will get to where I want to be.
Thanks for letting me share :happy:
Edited to resize...fingers crossed
Edited again lol sorry I can't get the big ones to go smaller, didn't change when I changed the size!
