    Over 40 lbs lost PROGRESS PIX! :n)

    edited September 2024 in Success Stories
    Okay, I've worked really hard to get to this point. I'm still obviously not done yet, but I do take pictures with every 10 (or so) lbs that I lose. I didn't feel like messing around with the pictures from every 10 lbs, so I thought I'd just show you the comparison of starting to today (okay, last night lol).

    1.OBviously my stomach has gotten a lot smaller. That's probably the biggest change.
    2.My facial skin has gotten much smoother and more even, which is a surprise. I wasn't expecting that.
    3.My arms are smaller and more defined. You can actually see my shoulder in the current pic.
    4.Double chin is GONE GONE GONE!
    5.Me elbow looks less like a fat girl elbow; you know, how it was sort of hanging over before and it's not now. :n)
    6.My legs aren't showing any cellulite anymore! I hadn't realized until this pic that they had gotten that much more toned, but you can really see it here!

    I guess those are a few of my favorite things. :n)

      That's really sweet. :smile: I guess if I were to give advice (seems weird for me to be giving anyone weight loss advice lol) I'd say work out even if you don't feel like it, increase your workouts every so often (weekly at most, monthly at least), form friendships here on MFP, because the cheering on helps motivate you (but BE a good friend, too!), and track your calories, even when you don't think you want to know what the end result is. <3

      You're all wonderful, and I really could not have done this without you guys. Seriously. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! :flowerforyou:

      OMG! I thought you looked awesome already (which you do) but to see how far you've come to look that awesome is...well, I need a word that's farther than awesome...like super-awesome!! You give me hope that someday I might be able to look down w/o seeing my stomach in the way.

      I know part of your amazing success is how hard you work out, I mean I see you log exercises where you've burned like more calories than I do w/ like 4 exercise sessions!
