Never in a million years did I think I would ever post nekkid pictures of myself. Okay, so I have some clothes on. But there is also a lot of skin. I took some advice when I started this journey to take photos of my skin, not how well my clothes covered me up. So here I am, down 50 pounds, a much improved fitness level, and on my way to losing 80 more! I appreciate the encouragement from friends and posters on MFP. Keep up the great work y'all! I'll post another pic when I get to a size 14 (baby steps, you know!).

5' 9" tall
SW: 304 size 24 US
CW: 255 size 18 US

    Congrats!! Thank you for sharing. I didn't really take any starting pics so I sometimes can't see as much difference as I know is there. We have similar bodies. I started at 301 size 24 I am now 257 size 18 also. So it is good to see your progress because I know mine has to mirror it. We will both get there :)

    OMG! What a huge difference! And we have very similar bodies, though i am shorter than you. Which is probably why my 23 pounds took me from a 24 to an 18. Proud of you for posting your pics and for the incredible changes you have made! You GO!

    I have a confession... it's terrifying to put pics out! I've been trying to find some motivation to keep going on this journey, and I decided making myself vulnerable would have to be part of it. So thanks for the kind words and encouragement. Your acceptance has made me giddy tonight.

    Think I'll celebrate by going for a jog! :happy:

    LOL - I was changing after work, and had just taken off my dress shoes... should have thought that through, but at the time wasn't planning to post the pics. Those socks have a little plastic-like piece on the heel to keep them from sliding off my foot.
