I've never posted on here before, and I'm still not quite where I want to be. I have been on this journey for a year and a half. The "before" picture is not where I started from on here, but it is my heaviest weight. Lately, I've been feeling self-conscious and bad about my body, so I did a comparison picture of me from four years ago and me now. Since all of the pictures I have seen on here have been so inspiring, I decided it was time to share mine. When I truly reach my goal weight, I will put a lot more pictures, but here is my comparison for now:

    You look fantastic! Well done! Learning to love your body is a difficult thing for those of us who have been in the habit of hating it. I know because I'm still working on it as well. You have achieved a great deal already, I hope that you continue to be successful.

    Thank you all so much!! It took a long time and a lot of work. When I feel like I'm getting nowhere, I'm just going to look at this picture. It inspires me to keep going, no matter how small the changes seem. Because a bunch of little changes eventually add up to a big change. :)

    You look awesome!! Feel proud of yourself. You look great. I know for me one of my reasons for losing weight is to enjoy taking pictures again and not dreading seeing myself look "fat". I can't wait to do this for myself.

    IamL, You look fantastic! The changes are so clear in your waist, hips, face, well, everywhere! You look really fit! Just a quick wondering, is it possible that you're already at or very near to a reasonable goal? To me, you just look great!

    Thanks to all of you!! After I saw the first picture, I couldn't believe the way I looked, and I tried to avoid cameras for a long time, and it was even hard to see myself in a mirror. But it definitely gets better. You just have to keep going. I don't worry about looking fat in pictures anymore. I don't even know when I stopped having that fear, but it goes away. :) just keep trying.

    Abbey: I'm about 8 pounds from my goal weight (120). I still want to lose fat and become more muscular. Thank you so much for your compliments. :)
