    I know I JUST posted the other day about my crazy pants comparison but today I hit a HUGE milestone. In August 2011 when I started, I was 5'8" and 270 pounds. When I stepped onto the scale today, I saw this.

    That's 40.1% of my body weight - GONE.

    Your tremendous pants post did something to me...something akin to "shock therapy" or something like that. I used your photo and another mpfer (who is also one of my, ummmm....let's say motivators or people/pics I think of as I'm exercising in this post here just yesterday:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/788849-no-thanks-i-m-just-looking

    Your pics are dramatic and story are dramatic to me, so utterly inspirational. When I see your results, it makes me feel like...I can do this, look at Joy, if/since she has...I can too!

    Thanks so for posting. I hope you won't mind me using your pants pic in another post either

    Holy crap, you're a terminator!! :flowerforyou:

    I hope you don't mind my asking (it's personal, I know) and please feel free to tell me to rack off and mind my own... but I have very similar amounts / starting shape to you and would like to know....:blushing:

    I observe in your before picture you have quite...*ahem* a generous, lovely rack. Of boobs. You clearly still have a full chest, but I'm curious if the weight-loss has messed with them much? Do you have much loose skin?

    Again, sorry to be forward and probably a bit rude... I've just noticed that, though I started with a similar 'set up' to you, 12kgs down and I've already lost a full cup size...

    Congrats again. You almost made me teary! :noway:


    I've gone from a 46H to a 34D. I do have some extra skin there as well as my abdomen. But it's really not that bad plus, it's better than the pervious alternative which was to have it filled with 100lbs of extra fat. I'll take the loose skin!!
