I can't upload my recent body pic for some reason, but you can check it out on my profile. I will add it after I post this.

Started at 252 I'm now 201 and 43 inches down. I went from 22/24 pants and XXL shirts to 14 pants and L/XL shirts. Working towards another 50 pounds down.



Pics aren't working. I will try tomorrow. Sorry

    I think they aren't showing because you have spaces around the img within the [ and ] brackets and you are using a mix of html and forum code. I'll try...

    Yep that worked. That was just your direct link http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8007/7187447199_056aeda52e.jpg in between the img tags without spaces. No html (the stuff with the greater and less than brackets).

    Wtg on your success! congratulations! :D

    Congrats on one year in! I'm at the one year mark too, with 54 pounds down. We're very similar in starting points and where we are now. I was 254, now 198. I was wearing a tight 22, now a very comfy 16 with a few 14's thrown in. My Scrubs were a 2x and now are a loose XL.

    I've never stuck with a healthy change this long, or exercise this long. Keep up the great work :-)

    I added a full body shot to my profile but it's sideways. Lol it's from about a month ago and the shirt is really big so it's hard to see how much smaller I am. Will try to take a mirror shot later.

    Thank you! The is also by far the longest I have ever stuck to a lifestyle change. I'm so proud of myself and ll my friends here too! There have been many ups and downs and many times I wanted to give up and stuff my face, but I always go back and look at that picture I posted and it makes me keep pushing. I never want to look or feel that bad again.

    Bump....can see recent full body shot on profile. Will do a better closer mirror shot later. My mind is still playing catch up. Sometimes I look in the mirror and this is still what I see. Other times, I love what I see and can't stop looking in the mirror. The motivation and support I have gotten from everyone on this site has truly been the greatest help.
