    What '74 Pounds Less' Looks Like... (Pics)

    edited January 26 in Motivation and Support
    I posted this as a blog post, but thought I'd post it in the forum too for the ones that usually don't read blogs.

    I've been on this journey for almost 500 days and I'm only a few pounds away from reaching my halfway point. When you want to lose as much as I do, you have to be excited about reaching a halfway point. Matter of fact, you have to get excited about any weight you're losing and every small change you're noticing. I have been in desperate need of some new clothes that actually fit me, because all the other ones I have are way too big.



    The left picture was taken when I was at my highest weight. Looking at it now makes me wonder why I waited so long to start this. The picture on the right was taken today.

    Next one is a comparison of my face, obviously :)

    And this last one is one of the entire progress.

    So let me tell you this one thing: It doesn't matter how much weight you have to lose, stay consistent, stay determined, stay focused and stay strong and you can accomplish anything.

      Way to go! I love seeing post like this. Its so motivational. You'll get to your goal! :)
      You look so much like my brother! Very handsome, you should be very proud of yourself. Everyone sees pictures like this and thinks anyone can do it, but it takes a lot of work, blood, sweat, and tears.

      This is the first time since we have become friends that I have been on MFP on my computer instead of the app on my phone. I don't even know what to say...I am completely floored! You look absolutely freaking amazing. It actually made me tear up to read some of what you have written and to see your progress with my own eyes. From your profile pic I never could have imagined how far you have come, where you started and how determined you are to hit your goal. You are now even more amazing than I already knew you were!!!!! Really really really proud of you!
