    That's fabulous! My son will be 4 months old on Monday! I've lost 15 lbs since I started trying to get my weight down, just like you--went from 157 to 142!

    I never realised how much of a difference 20lbs was until I looked at my old photo ops. Last year I had been too embarrassed to get them signed :embarassed: :frown: But not any more!

    HAHA!
    That's not his hand, I was sharing the photo op with a friend and we were rushing so she went to cuddle and he squished us in... thus she punched me in the boob.

    I didn't even notice til I got the print back. :laugh:

    I've lost about five more pounds since the photo on the left was taken. As you can see, I'm only about a quarter of the way to my goal, but I'm getting there!

    You are doing great but take it easy on those rum & cokes :drinker:

    Not actually a rum and coke. I don't drink. It's a Butterbeer from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios.

    Started at 470, been at 385-390 for about 3 weeks...still losing inches but stuck on the number. I've lost 14-16 SIZES of pants (I don't button below my belly, and I couldn't buy pants at Christmas before the Jan 2013 pic...at the BIG & TALL store). Don't have the measurements of the other stuff.

    I think it is important to be realistic about these things and when you go from any type of obesity to a healthy weight, you will have some kind of damage to your body.

    A well lit photo and standing up tall helps, and I carried more excess weight on my hips and thighs than my stomach.

    Purple stretch marks fade to white and then they are less noticeable, but like I said my worst ones are on my hips and thighs, not my stomach. I also have a kangaroo pouch that only appears when I wear higher cut jeans, low cut baggy pajama pants don't give much resistance to cause an overhang. Ive been in maintenance for almost a year now and it does get better with time :) so don't let the threat of stretch marks stop you!

    My pics might be motivating for someone not looking to lose but get fit...
    At 44 years old, I've always worked out but I ate too much and the pounds were sloooowly creeping on in my 40's. After my last physical I saw my weight ( used to be mid 130s and now was 143) and I thought "Aww HELL no!"
    MFP was a life saver in teaching me how to eat in moderation.

    This summer I feel great in a swimsuit.. In fact I'm playing w the kids and not THINKING about how I look in a swimsuit. That is so liberating!

    My pics are in my profile, taken May , June, July...
