    This was the day of my FIL's funeral and one of only two pic hubby and I had taken together since we've been married (11 years). The only other one was our wedding. In this pic I had actually lost 30# - which quickly came back as life spun out of control for a while. It was almost 3 years after this pic that I hit my all-time high and began doing something about it this February.... To think I am now just a few pounds lighter than in that pic.... certain motivation to keep going!

    Unfortunately I have no clue how to put pictures in here. I have some pictures in my profile pics that you can all look at though.

    BAM!!!!

    1st time posting a pic, hope I did it right!

    187 pounds after I had my son. It didn't bother me at the time, but when he turned 2 I looked through a bunch of pictures and saw this one. Ugh.

    I had intended it to be a neutral statement, but I find Russell Brand oddly attractive, so let's go with compliment.

    I'm real thick but luckily didn't catch belly fat until i hit around 200 - all in my legs, butt and arms... This woman looks small, do thin women like this really get bellies like that or is this more like baby weight. It seems weird to see only weight in the stomach and no where else.

    This is me! Well, not so much now, but a few months back. I did have baby weight, but before hand I had a lot of extra weight just around the middle. I can say it does happen,whether this photo is shopped or not...

    Where did you get your profile picture [the cartoon of you]? I think that's really cool!
    It seems like we've all got them. We're going along in our lives, maybe we realize we've gotten heavy or maybe we just haven't paid attention to ourselves. You attend and event or party or you're just hanging out with friends and someone snaps a pic. When you see said pic and you have that "OH CRAP, I'M FAT" moment that changes everything for you. The moment you realize that you let things go a bit too far and something must be done. Well, call me a masochist, but I want to see the pictures that changed everything for you. It's actually not so much masochism as it is a reminder, a reminder to look back and see how far you've come (or if you're just starting, the reason you're here in the first place) and to never forget where you've come from.

    I will bravely head this up with mine. Bring on the cringe-worthy images!

    I will never forget the day: July 11, 2012.

    I lost ten pounds and I thought it was okay to binge like crazy. I believe I am between 254-265 pounds. When I got back home I became more serious about my weight loss journey.

    Can't do it; I always delete or tear up the really bad pictures.

    Oh wow. You're hot. I think the first pic is kinda how I look now. Very inspirational, ma'am. :)

    I have 2. I only have them saved in progress collages, so you get to see what I did about it, too!

    In this one, I'm actually 20 pounds lighter now than I was in the most recent pic. The one in the pink sweater, obviously, was my "aw, HELL to the NAW!" moment:

    thenandnow.jpg


    And these are all facial shots. I do a collage every month, and this is the most recent one. The top left pic was taken at my high school reunion. I thought I looked really good. And I do...for someone who's grossly overweight. But I'd rather not have to modify it.

    I really wish I didn't delete all the photos of when I was at my biggest. This isn't even my largest. ACK!

    These pictures of me last year actually makes me want to cry because I'm so ashamed I got myself into that state.

    I'm on the left. Ugh. That's not even quite at my heaviest- I gained another 10-15 pounds after that before I started getting serious about losing.

    Center foreground, black dress/shawl. That same spring. I'm wearing a Spanx undergarment there. Seriously.

    I had lots of fun swimming with the whales, then I saw the pictures afterwards and felt like a whale. :sad:

    This picture made me cry, but didn't send me on my journey to be healthier! I was stubborn... My profile pic (where I am big enough to block out an island in the background :laugh: ) didn't even motivate me even though I was so ashamed of how I looked.

    About 4 months after my youngest was born - March 2011.. Around 185-190 I guess. I cried for days/weeks when I saw this. I joined the gym about a month after this photo.

    Lost a few pounds and was feeling pretty good until I saw this in Sept, 2011.
