Down 120 lbs - Then and now :)

So, because I was so overweight for so long, I've got a lot of extra skin around my stomach. It's getting better, slowly, but it's been a big source of frustration for me. I've got really strong abs but nobody looking at me would ever guess that because they're hidden :P Well, I took this shot today and, for the first time, I feel like I'm maybe starting to get a little bit of definition! I'm not expecting miracles, and I know my belly will never be "beautiful", but it's nice to get to "see" some of my hard work paying off
Stats for those who want to know:
Height: 5'6"
SW: 252 lbs
CW:132.5 lbs
I've been working out for about 15 months now and using MFP for about 11 months. I have a trainer who I see twice a week and I'm currently training for a half marathon (so running 5 days/week). I can't believe how strong and amazing I feel and I can't believe I let myself be so overweight for so long!

Awesome work. Keep up the good work. Something I read alot here on MFP that helps me out is knownig that I didn't get big/fat overnight, so the results won't happen overnight either. So, just keep doing what you are doing. I am sure those efforts will pay off soon.0

Personally, I think your belly looks great. And it might sound strange, but you've got lovely shoulders.

You look fantastic. You give me such hope because one of my major fears is loose skin. I just started my journey and after seeing your progress and pics I am not so worried about it. You look beautiful and after what your body has been through your stomach looks amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.0

understand that your stomach already IS "beautiful" (so many of the images we see of bodies are photoshopped...even people who were always thin have "imperfections" on their stomachs)
also, u look amazing--seriously, so tall and strong looking--proud of U! and even when u were a higher weight, u had a very beautiful face and figure, so not surprised u ended up even MORE lovely. cheers!0 -
You look fantastic! Congrats on all your hard work0

You look terrific. No one's stomach is perfect, btw... most of the images we see are, like some one said prior, Photoshopped. You are a beautiful woman and should be very proud of your hard word and achievement. You are an inspiration to us all.0

You have done so well!! I'll second the comment about having nice shoulders - great definition in your shoulders and arms. I'm still working on my tummy too.0
