Before & After 100 lb lost

The discipline you have maintained, the amazing achievement of losing 100 pounds in such a short time-- please do not waste a moment being anything but proud.

I definitely see a difference, great job! Keep up the good work. :-)

You look FANTASTIC :drinker: Keep up the hard work and keep taking those photos, they'll remind you of how far you have come. Walk tall, stand proud and believe in who you are...a strong determined woman :flowerforyou:

wow well done! the fact you haven't given up is a massive achievement. look at the difference on your face and back. inspirational

looking at these 2 pictures you can see a great difference. When we have a lot to lose it will take some time to actually feel better in ourselves, however you have proved you can do so much more physically now and that is great.

Look at your chin and checks, your bust and tummy all are much smaller


carry on your great job and you are an inspiration lots to lots of people reading your post you should be very proud, please post agin a little further down on your journey

Congratulations on your loss! 100 lbs is a huge achievement and you've made such an important change for your health.

I can see a big difference in your photos; particularly in your abodomen, arms and face. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the "after" photo is taken closer up than the "before", so you've actually shrunk more than is obvious from those pics.

There are a couple of things going on here. Firstly, it's very very common not to see the changes in ourselves, and for a lot of people who lose a significant amount of weight, it takes a while for their brain to catch up with the changes. I have been maintaining for a year, and still often feel as big as I was. I even occasionally look in the mirror and see myself as I was. It's quite surreal. It's really normal to have a skewed view of how you look, but that will change.

Secondly, don't forget that the more you have to lose in the first place, the more you have to lose before you see big changes. You've still got a way to go, and I hope that doesn't sound discouraging, because I think you've done an amazing job so far, and you sound determined to go all the way, which I have no doubt you will. But, I don't know if you've heard the paper towel analogy? If you imagine losing weight from your body as being like unravelling paper towel from a roll - in the beginning, you could remove 10 sheets of paper, and not notice a difference in the size of the roll. A lot of paper (fat) has gone, but it's harder to see. When you get closer to the roll, you can remove just one sheet of paper and see a massive difference. It can be so discouraging for people starting out with a lot to lose, but perseverance pays off! Just think how dramatically different you're going to look after the next 100 lbs comes off! I bet even the next 50 will be more dramatic.

And lastly, don't forget the internal changes that aren't visible. You will have lost a lot of visceral fat from around your organs, which will have made a huge difference to your health, but isn't so noticeable to you when you look at yourself.

Keep up the amazing work, you're inspirational! :flowerforyou:
