Hey everyone! I just want to stress the importance of taking progress pictures of yourself. To this point, I have not been able to see any difference in the mirror despite losing over 30 pounds and getting tons of compliments. I don't know what it is, but it's soo hard to see the difference in yourself and my motivtion has been decreasing quickly. It wasn't until I put my starting picture next to my current picture that I have finally gained my motivation back and realized that my weight loss has made a difference. I know I still have some work to do, but at least I can see my loss visually now. I encourage all of you to post some of your progress pictures here as well!
Well, here's mine

    OP, you look wonderful!

    I'll share my photos.. I also think it's super important to take progress pics. Sometimes we think we aren't improving or losing weight because of #s when the photos say otherwise. Here's my progress as I approach 90 days.. I'm more fit now at 167 than I've ever been at 120lbs.

    SW: 181.5
    SBF%: 31.9
    CW: 167
    CBF%: 25
    GW: 160

    Day 1 was Jan 1, Day 83 was two days ago

    Day 83 (2 days ago):
    19593344_3666.jpg

    This was taken a few days ago.. I never thought I would ever be one of people lifting barbells but it's become a part of my life now.

    Enjoyed all the progress and success pictures. I am struggling again and love to see how it looks out there with people who are losing. I played the yo-yo game and hope that I can find my passion again. Lots of things going on and no schedule but I wonder if that is just a subconcious excuse. But I keep coming everyday to MFP knowing that IT WILL WORK.....just gotta work it. All of you are living, breathing proof of this. CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU!

    Picture on left was from a carnival at work in September 2012. I was @ 489lbs and couldn't even come close to buttoning the shirt I was wearing. Picture on right is from this morning 3/26/13 @399lbs wearing the same shirt I couldn't button 6 months ago.

    Still very much in progress, but today I actually saw in the mirror a difference so did a side-by-side. I have to say, seeing a difference now is definitely a HUGE HUGE boost!
