I know I'm losing weight becuase of how my clothes fit, but when I look in the mirror I still can't see it. Then I looked at pictures of myself taken at the beginning of the year and compared it to one taken last week. I was so happy at the difference that I had to share. It was hard to find a "before" picture of me because I've always hid from the camera. This is the only one I could find that showed anything below my shoulders.

The "before" one was taken on January 4th of this year at my mom's birthday dinner. It was a day after I decided that I needed to make a change, my weight was 204. The "halfway" one was taken last Saturday at my little brother brothers high school graduation. I still have a while to go until I hit my goal, but I'm so happy about how far I've come. This site and everyone on it has helped me so much more than I ever thought possible.

    OMG you look great! I know what you mean as far as looking in the mirror and not seeing myself as I am. Pictures are a great resource. I need to take before pics and then along the way pics too. Thanks for sharing! And great job!

    I can't figure out how to make them bigger without cutting me in half, so I upload them to my profile. If you want to see them you can go to my page and look at my pics there. The "before" one is a little fuzzy but it's bigger than in this topic.

    You are looking good. Way to go! I took some ugly profile pictures of myself today with the self-timer so I could chart progress. As you notice in my profile picture, I'm hiding behind something, in this case a post, but usually small children.
