Hi everyone!

Right now I am feeling a bit sluggish, my weight loss has stalled and I haven't been feeling motivated. I have another 62 pounds to go or so, and I thought by putting together a before and during picture, it might motivate me a bit more! Just thought I'd share it with all you great people

Height: 5'3
Starting weight: 223 (Sept 2011)
Current weight: 196 (Sept 2012)

Hopefully the image works!

    nicely done! one can definitely see a change in the "after" photo. definitely looks like you've lost tons of inches and 25 pounds over the past year. losing weight is so hard...not at all just as easy as "eat less, exercise more". ;-) stay motivated and good luck over the next months.

    You're doing great ~ it is frustrating to have weight loss hit a plateau, but every pound you've lost is helping you in more ways than just outward appearance, so hang in there and don't give up! You're smart to take motivational pics ~ by this time next year, you'll look back in amazement at your accomplishments :)

    You're looking great! You definitely don't look like you're in the 190's on a 5'3" frame, so you must have tons of muscle!!! If you're looking for motivation, rest assured that your hard work is showing on your body, even if you're not seeing a change on the scale!
