40 Pounds gone, how my face has changed.

edited January 12 in Success Stories
Today I was looking back at photos of myself from when I was overweight, at my heaviest I was probably 100+ kilos but I was too afraid to weigh myself. This was the first photo I saw where I thought OMG I have to change, I was only 17 and looked well...not healthy at all!!!

I don't have any full body comparison photos but here's one of my face. It's amazing how fat hides/changes your features! I still can't believe that's me in the old photo lmao. The photos on the right are my current face, at 22.

I still have about 10-15 kilos I'd like to lose but damn I'm proud of myself :) It''s been a slow pace of weight loss, I've fallen off the wagon but I've always pulled myself back on...so I guess I'm the turtle in the weight loss race :P.

Please feel free to add me because I'm always looking for new friends. I hope this inspires someone :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Edit: Half of my face is cut off, woops! You can right click and press open in new window to see full photo if you wish.

    Amazing-- you should be proud of your accomplishment-- maybe you had a few backslides, but you never quit, and it paid off-- well done!

    Thanks again everyone. You've made my day :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    You are positively glowing... and have a good hand with make-up too.

    Thank you about the make up compliment, I love make up but I've started wearing less than I have in those photos because my skin has cleared up drastically since then.
